The two colours

What cream and khaki each bring

cream

A warm, soft white. Gentler than pure white against the face, and the easiest light colour for warm and muted colouring.

Works best as: Knitwear, wide trousers and coats; a cream winter white is softer than stark white.

khaki

The classic chino colour: a warm, light sand with a green-brown hint. Casual and relaxed, it is at home in spring and summer.

Works best as: Chinos, shorts and trench coats.
