Keep Khaki Corporate Not Kiddish

Vena Cava Gap Khaki Collection 2009

Are you often mistaken for a student? Is our daily dress code slacks and a polo-style shirt? Here are a few ideas for wearing khaki and not looking like a kid.


Why Khaki?
Classic: Never goes out of style.
Cotton: Durable fabric.
Neutral: Perfect neutral alternative to black.
Comfortable: Yes, I can't believe I said that.
Cost: Can be found at ANY price level.
Versatile: Comes in dresses, skirts, pants, jackets, you name it!
Seasonless: Wear it anytime of the year.



Now that I've hopefully convinced you that Khaki is a viable option, let me help you get dressed.


How Khaki?
Wear a thin belt over a cardigan.
Pair with soft fabrics...silk, cashmere, etc.
High heels or flats, make sure your flats are ornate.
Add color, any color.
Grrrr, don't be afraid of zebra, tiger, or leopard print--oh my!
Get a tailor. Make sure that it fits well.
Amp up the sex appeal, try a skinny cargo with a pair of booties.
Embellish..add necklaces, chunky bracelets, ornate pins, and jaw-dropping earrings (just not all at the same time)
Simple elegance. Tuck in a crisp white shirt.

Now you are ready to graduate your khaki from kindergarten to killer!

Stay stylish,
