Khaki color combinations in clothing are a military trend adapted for everyday use, combinations with which significantly transform it.
Khaki is by nature a feminine color. It personifies moderation, calmness, care, and maturity of character. The colors of the earth-foliage are fertility. At their core, the military puts on these tones like wolves put on sheep's clothing. And after so many years of dressing up, we have learned to mistake “sheep’s clothing” for the “wolves” themselves. But whatever one may say, its basic properties do not change.
In this article we will look at khaki shades in the wardrobe: what colors to combine with, how to choose shoes. You can find out whether this or that protective green is suitable for you in the previous article “khaki color. Part one".
Khaki color matches
The combination with khaki color, as with a neutral color, is discreet and stylish. It contains sophistication, a confrontation between feminine charm and masculinity. Each shade of protective green creates its own special range, in which certain shades dominate, but the main trend will be observed according to the average color.
The combination of khaki and pink is pleasing to the eye, it has thermal, light and brightness contrast, but most importantly it is endowed with the natural beauty of nature: the flowers and greenery that surround them. The softer the pink, the softer but more expressive the range. Bright colors of pink bring dynamics. The palette is made up of royal pink, white-lilac, sakura, Barbie, and raspberry.
Khaki is combined with red based on additional contrast, which makes the combination overly expressive, but since the tone is muted green, less bright reds will look quite decent against its background. Most often, red is used as an accent in such a pair. Consider combinations with scarlet, watermelon, coral red, red burgundy, red earth.
Khaki and orange: color combination. Orange is the closest color to green in terms of harmony. It is a derivative of red (complementary), at the same time it contains yellow, which combines it with the main tone (green = yellow + blue). So this pair is one of the most attractive combination options. For example, a palette made up of light peach, coral-orange, last breath gray, fiery, red-orange.
Khaki goes with yellow as a related shade. Which is part of it, and if not for the strong difference in lightness, then our eye would be able to complete the intermediate tones. Overall the composition is warm and sunny. The color chart includes champagne, wheat, mustard, old gold, and orange-yellow.
The combination of khaki in warm green tones is a gradient of dark shadow to light highlights, where the main tone is in the middle. With the help of warm green shades, you can recreate the greenery of the forest warmed by the sun and embody it in your creativity. Give protective green vibrant shine and depth. The color scheme includes pistachio, chartreuse, olive, pine, dark green.

The combination of blue and khaki can be described as strict, deep, thoughtful. A slight warm-cold contrast does not help the main tone become warmer, but rather tilts the composition towards a cold range. Such a pair can become a background or an independent combination. The palette is made up of aquamarine, blue-gray, blue-gray, Prussian blue, and thunder.
How to combine khaki and purple? For the described tone, the best option would be shades of purple with a red undertone, such as glycine, lilac-lilac, blackberry, grape, eggplant. They are the ones who will make the contrast expressive and attractive.
The combination of khaki and brown is soft and natural. Brown, like a constant companion of any greenery, is a life-affirming pairing color. Like a complex shade, it reveals a protective green, making it warm and juicy. Dark tones of brown come into light contrast. Consider combinations with oak, bronze, mahogany, dark chocolate, dark chocolate.
Khaki and white, gray, beige, black are combined as neutral shades, giving the combination severity and enhancing the originality of the color. Each neutral tone brings its own meaning to the combination, so white brings lightness, gray – natural grace, beige – elegance, and black – evening chic. The color scheme includes creamy, light beige, gray-lilac, wet asphalt, and black.
Sand khaki and its combination
The color of the desert is a soft yellowish shade, close to beige. It can be used as a base in business, urban or casual style. The tone is indispensable in safari style. By its nature, sand khaki is a summer color. It will be comfortable in the heat, appropriate on vacation or in the office. But an evening dress of this color will be too impersonal.
Sand khaki is combined with flamingo, dark purple, fuchsia, ruby, pink-yellow, yellow-orange, saffron, gray last breath, copper, green-blue, emerald, topaz blue, amethyst, red-violet, ash brown, milk chocolate.
What styles of clothing is it used in?
Khaki color (the photo demonstrates how versatile this color is) can be successfully used in almost any style solution. It is suitable even for a tracksuit.
However, evening dresses of this color should be chosen more carefully, giving preference to richer types of khaki, which will emphasize the depth of the image, rather than making it simpler if you choose lighter and calmer shades.
Military style
This style belongs to the unisex category, since initially military was associated exclusively with army uniforms. When this style decision became popular all over the world, it was based on elements characteristic of military uniforms, such as high boots with tractor soles, caps, T-shirts, various key chains, stripes or dog tags.
At the same time, the military style uses a huge number of different shades of khaki, so in fact these two styles are a continuation of each other.
Today the military is not as aggressive as it used to be. The images became calmer, new combinations appeared. But various patches on clothes and other details are still considered relevant. Initially, military symbolized the protest of society, but today it is simply a universal solution for men and women who love the military style of clothing.
Safari style
Khaki color is widely used in different styles. From the photo you can see that this style is mainly aimed at maximum convenience and the ability to hide in the wild savannah. The main parameters of this solution are practicality and ease. Thanks to this, this style is great for summer, but you shouldn’t wear similar clothes in winter.
In safari style, it is not customary to use very saturated, much less bright, colors. You should also avoid black and other dark colors. Preference should be given to more desert shades.
Military theme
This style also lacks red, purple and other bright colors. Preference should be given to camouflage and corresponding color schemes. There is no room for grace and elegance in army style.
In fact, modern military styles are military at its beginning, when preference was given to heavy military boots, caps and other elements related to the army theme.
Country Country
Country is a style that is very close to nature, therefore the shades of clothing should be appropriate. Country music does not involve the use of synthetic materials, fur, gold and bright attributes of wealth.
Therefore, it is worth choosing clothes made from natural cotton, linen, and suede. The main color should be beige, ocher, green and brown. Also, outfits can be diluted with a soft red shade.
Country style allows the use of lace, openwork fabrics, and knitted elements. It also involves the use of embroidery and rustic ornaments. Plaid shirts have a special place in country style. Cowboy distressed jeans and hats also look great.
Casual and casual wear
Khaki color, photos of outfits using which are presented in the article, can be included in this style direction. Casual can include many other styles: military, safari, sports, business and others. The main principle is convenience.
We are talking about casual clothes that do not restrict movement. For example, jeans are the main symbol of this trend. They are more comfortable than trousers, but more versatile than, for example, sweatpants, which cannot always be worn.
Casual also means using fabrics that are pleasant to the skin of the body. The material should be easy to wash. Shoes should be chosen with low soles or wedges. But stilettos and heels do not belong to this style decision.
The same goes for jewelry, especially in large quantities. They will have to be replaced with jewelry. There are many different shirts in casual style. The dresses are loose and light. This style is suitable for any time of year.
English style
When it comes to clothing, the British have always strived for functionality and comfort. This is a rather strict style that can often be confused with a business one. However, the English style is lighter and does not imply exclusively office wear. Preference should be given to fitted silhouettes. The main colors of the style are ocher, gray, black and various shades of green, including khaki.
In the English style there is no place for translucent, airy fabrics. Also, this style is completely incompatible with shapelessness and various robes. The English style does not include short miniskirts or decorative elements.
To match this style decision, you should give preference to a fitted jacket, a formal skirt below the knee and not use too much jewelry. Scarves made from natural fabrics look good.
Business style
This is an official style, which, first of all, can be classified as office style. This means that preference should be given to more formal suits and pencil skirts. Clothing should emphasize a person's determination and seriousness. Therefore, you cannot use sportswear, cowboy hats and other accessories that do not fit with a business style.
The photo shows images using khaki color.
In this style decision, much attention is paid to shoes. As a rule, these are classic shoes, they may have stiletto heels.
Fabrics should be practical and natural. It is worth giving up a deep neckline and high boots. Business style implies a minimum amount of jewelry. You should limit yourself to discreet stud earrings and a wristwatch on a thin strap.
Ideas for successful combinations of other styles
Khaki style allows you to experiment. If previously it was important to strictly adhere to the rules within one style, today you can combine several styles at once. For example, for several years now people have been actively combining sportswear with jewelry and elements of business style, safari and others.
You can achieve an unusual look with the help of accessories. For example, you can wear jeans with smart shoes and a light beige khaki linen shirt. This is a very unusual combination that does not fit into the framework of any one trend, but this outfit looks fresh and quite serious, even suitable for work.
Beige khaki and its combination
Neutral shade with a fair amount of gray. Like sand, it belongs to the basic colors, but unlike the first, it is characteristic of the cold seasons. Sweatshirts and coats and other things of this tone will become a good basis for brighter colors, bringing them to the forefront, remaining a grateful background. This way you can create a varied wardrobe with just a few items. Oddly enough, this shade can also fit into a romantic style, although it is still alien to the holidays.
Beige khaki should be combined with pink-lilac, amaranth, carmine, gray-yellow, pale yellow, red, red ocher, gray-green, patina, blue-green, Prussian blue, plum, brown, light brown, bronze, chocolate.
Grey
The most common combination of gray and khaki are looks that include an asphalt top (sweaters, pullovers, turtlenecks or shirts) and a swamp bottom (trousers, shorts, overalls, skirts). It is with gray that items with military prints and colors are best combined, as they look more vibrant, but at the same time remain casual.
Smoky green khaki and combination with it
A subtle green shade that can confidently be called romantic. It literally caresses the eye: it doesn’t focus on itself, but makes you find yourself again and again. Like a discreet appearance coupled with the subtlest inner grace - it is not visible until you look at it. And color transfers part of its properties to the owner. It transforms the face, giving it a certain mystery. And yet, he is everyday. Suitable for the average office worker, for recreation, sports and tourism. It would look good in safari style.
