I'm Campaigning for These Pants to Replace Skinny Jeans
Let's be honest: We're pretty denim-obsessed at Who What Wear. From revealing new denim styles and silhouettes to perfecting the ultimate shoe-and-denim pairing, we are borderline experts when it comes to denim. With that being said, we have some big news: There's a new pant style we're deeming worth replacing your skinny jeans for. While skinny jeans are an easy go-to and undoubtedly a never-fail wardrobe piece, the chicest women right now are opting for khaki pants as their new go-to, and we're here for it.
A neutral practically made for styling, khaki pants are a versatile wardrobe staple. Personally, I think khaki pants serve as the ideal solution for when I'm not in the mood to wear jeans because they possess the same qualities of skinny jeans: They can be styled with almost anything, they can serve as the hero piece or just a layer in an outfit, and most importantly, they make for effortlessly cool look.
Style khaki pants with color-matching pieces for a monochromatic look or a printed turtleneck. Whatever you want to wear with them, just know the styling possibilities are endless. Keep scrolling to shop 13 khaki-pants outfits inspired by some of the chicest women we know.
