  8. burgundychinos
    Works
    Khaki is a neutral, so it lets burgundy be the accent without clashing.
  9. charcoaldress trousers
    Works
    Dress trousers are dressier than an overshirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: two neutrals with clear contrast: khaki and charcoal always sit well together.
  10. sagelinen pants
    Works
    Khaki is a neutral, so it lets sage be the accent without clashing.
  11. beigelinen pants, wide-leg pants, pleated trousers, chinos, cargo pants, joggers
    Works
    Khaki and beige are close in depth; add a darker or lighter piece to separate them.
  12. greypleated trousers, chinos, jeans, wide-leg pants, cargo pants, joggers
    Works
    Khaki and grey are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
  13. light bluejeans
    Works
    Light blue is cool and bright against warm khaki; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
  14. khakichinos, cargo pants
    Careful
    Identical khaki top and bottom reads as a uniform; vary the shade or texture.
