Khaki color is not suitable for yellow skin? You are wrong! The most correct "khaki" outfit, very practical

Text: Luo Wei

Hi, I am Luo Wei, continue our fashion and outfit journey, become beautiful and never get lost. ▼

Today I really want to talk about "khaki" outfits, because more than one friend has asked how to match khaki clothes. They say khaki is high-end and beautiful, but why can’t I put it on?

Is it a yellow skin color problem? Temperament problem? Or is it a matter of matching level? This friend almost had an "obsessive-compulsive disorder" attack. It just so happens that Luo Wei is sorting out the knowledge about color systems recently, so let's specifically solve this practical problem.

When it comes to khaki, I believe that the most classic B family khaki windbreaker flashes in most people’s minds. How classic is this piece? I once said that if you wear it for 10 years, it will never go out of style, and the original price is not cheap.

But being timeless doesn’t mean it’s suitable for you, does it? Otherwise, there would be a lot of questions about wearing it during the windbreaker season every year.

In addition to windbreakers, khaki is ubiquitous in Japanese outfits or European and American minimalist styles. Things like khaki shirts, khaki pants, skirts, and even khaki shoes, bags, etc. will all be infected silently.

In T-stage shows, khakis are never absent. They have always been the protagonist of fashion trends. However, this protagonist comes a bit mediocre, and its own uncontested characteristics are destined to only be achieved silently. , and will not be the one that attracts the most attention, but it is really impossible to leave it!

In the summer, clean women who like to wear khaki hats, lighter khaki pants and white shirts are doing their favorite things calmly and calmly, listening to music and scribbling casually, khaki white The classic matching is more likely to bring out the quiet elegance of time. This calmness is by no means a bluff and superficial skill, but the sublimation of temperament after precipitation. ?

Khaki is another fashionable tension besides black, white and gray. Most of the time, it plays the role of color matching, always completed in obscurity, without competition, neither strange nor flashy, but exuding "quiet beauty".

This is why in minimalist or some temperament-prominent outfits or interior decorations, khaki achieves a series of natural and harmonious expressions of high-end beauty. Just one glance and you will be deeply impressed. Fall in love with its low-key luxury and atmosphere.

In dressing up all year round, whether it is the vibrant and hot spring and summer; or the depressed, solemn and cold autumn and winter, the status of khaki is unshakable. It is the most noble color. Color, it is the comfort that your heart longs for.

The reason why so many khaki colors are rendered is to awaken your inner understanding of khaki color and re-understand it. When you can look at it with a completely different perspective of appreciation, it can only It will be alive and full in your sight. This is the correct attitude when it comes to controlling color.

So, what can we do to control it? Is khaki really unsuitable for Asian yellow-skinned people? Of course not! After reading this article, your knowledge will be refreshed.

Following the old rules, Luo Wei interprets khaki from three aspects: the source and selection, item category, and matching skills.

Khaki itself is a vague neutral color. Ask 100 people and there will be 100 names and answers for khaki. Some people call it beige, some call it brown, brown, camel, and some call it brown. In short, its appearance has countless changes.

Why? Because it is between beige tone and brown coffee tone. Darker or lighter, each has a different magical feeling, which is confusing and unpredictable. It is precisely because of this that it has rich versatility and is its infinite charm. focus.

⑴ The origin of khaki

Khaki comes from the earth tones that are simple, natural and broad, and has all the characteristics of the earth tones.

And earth color, the "mother" of all colors, gave birth to this colorful and beautiful world.

Earth color belongs to all four seasons of the year. It is the earth color of shimmering dust, and it is also the vibrant green of rivers and vegetation. It covers red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and is stained with the breath of all colors. Therefore, it can be warm, bright, and energetic, or it can be soft, calm, and calm.

The classic khaki color is one of the branches among the many "mother colors". It is the earthy color of sunrise and sunset, when the light is reflected in the soil of the cliffs and rocks; it is also the final precipitation color of mature grains. , it is everywhere in nature.

But the emergence of khaki is quite dramatic: In India in the 19th century, British soldiers stationed there thought that wearing white trousers in the heat and sand would get dirty easily, so they used coffee and curry to wear them. Dye your pants khaki.

This practical and stain-resistant color combined with rough fabrics quickly became the British and American military uniforms at that time, becoming the unified color of military clothing. It can be seen from this feature that khaki itself has its own workwear style characteristics, so in workwear style, khaki or military green has become the main color.

Do you know why this is introduced? It is to allow you to better grasp the characteristics of khaki, the characteristics in its bones or genes.

Later, with the development of fashion and popularity, khaki was gradually used in the upper class or academic circles. For example, in the British academic style, khaki is a classic color. The B family is a British luxury clothing brand that uses khaki to the extreme.

In men's wardrobe, khaki is a symbol of classics. Because khaki itself has no fixed style, it can be used in formal business attire to show a gentle and elegant style, or it can be used in casual attire to create a relaxed and comfortable state of comfort.

⑵ Tips for choosing khaki color

Since khaki color is so classic and versatile, how to choose it? Before choosing, let’s popularize a knowledge point:

Regardless of any color, as long as it is far away from the face, you can choose it casually, and don’t worry too much. Because Luo Wei found that many people were at a loss after taking color courses and were kidnapped by many theories:

Like the four-season color theory, cold skin, warm skin, different colors suitable for people in spring, summer, autumn and winter, etc. Putting yourself into these theories is a bit rigid and not practical at all.

The most correct attitude is: understand it, master it, and use it skillfully, but do not be bound by it! When encountering a situation that is not suitable for you, ask yourself a few more questions: Why? At the end of the question, it’s so simple that you want to laugh: We wear all colors to set off our skin color and temperament, so we can either keep it away from the face or combine it with other colors to resolve it, right?

★ Understanding Khaki

Khaki is a color between tawny and medium-light tawny, so khaki is the general name for this type of color. Strictly speaking, khaki is actually a type of yellow, but the saturation is too low and the traces of yellow are lighter.

However, as long as the color has a yellow background, it will look warmer, so khaki is a proper "little warm man", hehe, let's put it this way, right? Instantly cuter?

★ Understand the coldness and warmth of skin color

The coldness and warmth of skin color are the most basic concepts of the color rules of the human body. In addition to coldness and warmth, there are also the effects of shades and softness. You cannot arbitrarily use cold and warm to judge what color a person is suitable for.

But despite this, cold and warm skin tones are the quickest and most direct way to determine the appropriate color. It is simple, crude and easy to use. Today I will only briefly talk about the choice of cold and warm, and other more complicated color knowledge will not be discussed in detail.

Through the simplest cold and warm skin color test, if you have a cool skin tone, wearing khaki will definitely not look good.

On the contrary, khaki is very suitable for people with warm tones, which can create a harmonious and warm feeling of comfort. So those who don’t know whether their skin color is cold or warm and just wear khaki casually are certainly not suitable.

This is a message for those of us with yellow skin: It’s not that yellow skin can’t wear khaki, it’s that cool yellow skin can’t wear it.

However, the complex world of color is always full of infinite possibilities and surprises. The same goes for khaki, which also has a lighter, cooler, whiter color, closer to beige tones. ?

So, for people with cooler and whiter skin, try to choose the cooler and whiter khaki color on the left; for people with warmer skin, you can choose the yellower and warmer color on the right Khaki, isn’t it the perfect solution?

There are three kinds of khaki colors used in the following set. Do you have different feelings when you look at them carefully? A slight change in the depth will reveal endless mysteries. If you say khaki doesn't suit you, don't say you know Luo Wei, hehe. ?

Is the following set of different khaki colors more obvious? Through comparison, you can appreciate the differences carefully.

Although khaki is classic and versatile, you can choose the khaki color that suits you through the above method. But the changes in its attachment to different items and fabrics are also the key to whether the outfit looks good or not.

First of all, khaki is an expanding color and can easily make you look fat. If it is combined with some stiff and rough fabrics, it will look fatter, but it will be very stylish. This is also the reason why khaki has been popular in workwear style for a long time, because it is so tonal.

However, if it is combined with some soft fabrics, it will show an extreme sense of high-end delicacy. For example, when combined with delicate fabrics such as silk, silk, and worsted cotton, this unique atmosphere and intellectuality will appear. It is something other colors don’t have.

After understanding this feature, you can choose the corresponding khaki color item according to the advantages and disadvantages of your body shape. For example, if you have a fat upper body, don't choose a khaki cotton shirt. You can replace it with a silk shirt. If you have a fat lower body, then khaki pants are not suitable and will make you look fatter. You can choose a pure cotton micro-A-shaped khaki skirt, which is very good at modifying the legs.

★ Choose the corresponding khaki items according to the characteristics of the four seasons

Khaki is the basic color that can be worn all year round, but there are different subtle differences when combined with different items:

Spring and summer: Khaki is more suitable for accessories, such as bags, shoes, and jewelry. Because spring and summer clothes are more colorful and bright, adding calm khaki accessories at this time can achieve the best results. balance and adjustment, adding texture. For example: white clothes, khaki shoes or bags, any summer bright colors can be used to add a sense of luxury.

In summer, there are many kinds of khaki pants, khaki T-shirts, and khaki skirts. You should choose according to your preference. I'm just suggesting the best ways to use khaki.

Autumn and winter: Autumn and winter are the main battlefields of khaki, such as windbreakers, coats, cashmere sweaters, wool pants, etc., all have its shadow. I won’t go into details here.

In the process of matching khaki, the first thing is color matching. As long as the tones between items or accessories are harmonious, you can basically go wrong. However, the issue that khaki will make your skin look darker also needs to be considered when matching khaki.

⑴ Summer khaki color scheme

In summer wear, the general color matching idea is: light, energetic, refreshing, comfortable, eye-catching, high-end, and khaki is no exception . Therefore, some light and soft colors, especially earth colors, are good friends of khaki.

★ Khaki white/off-white

The preferred color matching for khaki is white or off-white. The combination of these two colors is very textured and noble. They belong to that kind of color. It looks like the intellectual lady style of a "rich person". It is very suitable for creating an elegant, intellectual and elegant style. It is the first choice color for women with high knowledge and high taste.

Wear a khaki work style shirt with a pair of off-white wide-leg pants, and carry a dark brown bag to enhance the texture, making you look calm and majestic. If you are afraid of showing off your skin tone with a khaki shirt or T-shirt that is closer to your face, remember to embellish it with eye-catching white earrings or necklaces, or expose a little more of your neck, which will look much better.

The most foolproof way is to wear a white top with a khaki skirt or khaki pants, so that you don't have to worry about showing your skin color at all.

★ Khaki colors of the same color/adjacent colors

The combination of deep and light khaki colors will be more advanced, mellow and atmospheric, and will not dissolve when condensed. Open silky texture.

The high-end look of the same color system is self-evident. Wearing a camel coat with an oatmeal sweater and a pair of khaki pants below is considered a neutral brown color, which brings great visual focus and attraction.

Pair the mellow and delicate brown color with khaki pants, and choose accessories of the same color. Such a tolerant and textured match will be unforgettable. If you choose the right material, the overall match will be more outstanding, such as silk. The coffee-colored sling is a symbol of high taste and reminds people of the silky smoothness of coffee.

This set of shirts between dark red and coffee, paired with khaki pants with excellent drape, simply and powerfully explains what grandeur is.

★ Khaki Black/White

Khaki, black and white are a set of colors that can never go wrong. When they are combined together, no matter which color is the main color, they will be very harmonious and easy to make mistakes. However, compared with the above colors, the stunning effect of this set of colors is less. However, if combined with good-looking styles and materials, it can also bring surprises.

A khaki suit with black suspenders and white dark striped wide-leg pants. The color is perfect, the style is unique, and it looks fashionable and high-end.

★ Khaki is bright and colorful/cool-toned

Bright colors will always make people’s eyes brighter, such as refreshing blue and dazzling fluorescent green. Use khaki to match them. It will surprise you with its stunning appearance.

Use refreshing blue accessories to embellish beige and khaki pants, which is a simple yet fashionable color scheme. Adding a little pop of color can change the overall look.

A khaki suit is paired with a fruit green personalized vest, and a pair of white trousers are used to balance the transition. The whole body color scheme is simple and refreshing, looks good and fashionable, but has an indescribable sense of high-end. Pointed boots are a key item to enhance the sophistication value, and of course red lips also contribute.

You can also add a little red, just remember a little bit.

⑵ What should I do if khaki color makes my skin look dark?

What should I do if khaki color makes my skin look dark? It’s so simple, just follow these tips.

For example, when wearing a khaki windbreaker or jacket in autumn and winter, wear light blue or white underneath to isolate the impact of khaki on the face.

Wear a black and white striped shirt/white sweater under a khaki windbreaker, or use a white pearl necklace to brighten it up. These are all good tips.

There is another way: create "focusing highlights" all over the body to divert attention and weaken the influence of khaki. In a match, if the focus on the highlights is attractive enough, it will resolve the impact of khaki on the skin tone.

Many girls say that khaki does not look good and is not suitable for yellow-skinned people. The biggest problem is that they do not know how to match and match colors. Think about it: the clothes are khaki, but other places are dull and lackluster. , how can such a combination look good?

Coupled with the characteristics of our yellow skin, if we don’t pay attention to creating focused highlights, it will be really ugly. I hope today’s sharing can help you.

Again: There are no inappropriate colors or clothes, only inappropriate combinations.

I not only share outfits, but also hope to help you establish your own inner aesthetic system and spiritual nourishment system. Only by cultivating both internal and external aspects can you be beautiful for a long time!
