Spring always sees the return of Khaki in all its glory. Although often understated khaki is always a go to colour for most. It is more interesting than grey and brown and more practical than white. Yet when coupled with these colours khaki has the ability to turn an outfit into one of sophistication. This season sees khaki breaking out of its box and taking a more frontal position in any man's wardrobe. The key is understanding that lighter shades of khaki work well for a more smart clean look whereas dark shades are more associated with a military feel and autumn/winter.

A perfect example of a lighter shade of khaki comes in the form of the Universal Works Tennis Shirt in Khaki. The tonal stripes throughout this top makes the focal point of any outfit and it versatile enough to wear with beige trousers or your favourite jeans.

Khaki is so diverse in colour and should not only be associated with shades of green but any light dusty colour such as the Penfield Millwood Pant which can cross over from work to play with the simple addition of a smart shirt. The slightly washed feel these trousers have to them add a sense of vintage to the wearers outfit also.

It is not until khaki is used to accessorise with that it truly stands out and this Norse Projects Hektor Nature Cap in Khaki proves just why with its five panel design its versatility is endless and much like khaki itself-timeless.

Khaki for us here at GB is the perfect neutral.
