Don’t Sleep on Khaki Pants

I know to most, khakis remind you of that summer you worked at the golf club or that stint that you had at private school before you were kicked out.  Khakis are underrated in my book and have more sex appeal than you may think.  Khakis became well known during the Second Boer War.  The British forces became known as khakis because of their uniforms.  The name is derived from the Persian word khak which means dust or ash.  Alright, I’m done with the history lesson for the evening.  Now listen up and let me give you a mental picture.  Let’s get some khaki pants, a nice button-up or polo shirt, a nice watch and the appropriate shoes and you are money.  Now, when you rock khaki pants the color of your shirt should be pastel or close to.  Don’t ever consider wearing black or gray, not a good look.  As for shoes, you can go with a loafer, trendy sneaker or boat shoes, which should be brown, cream or blue.  You can do other colors, just not black.   Broaden your horizons and consider my recommendation.  Fine, don’t listen and you will be ironing those same dirty jeans (you know the smell) all spring and summer!
