I don't. I guess I have some sort of weird hang-up about them.

For one thing, my Dad wore them often (casually and I think he called them Suntans) so I equate them to masculine attire. (I told you it was a weird hang-up!).

And then they were the uniform du jour back in the late 90's? We all wore khaki pants, a white tank and a blue denim shirt. It was such a popular look I think I wore it one too many times!

I am thinking about re-introducing khaki pants back into my wardrobe. Do you wear them? If so, care to share how you might put an outfit together?

Yes - LandsEnd chinos - tank top and button front shirt tied at waist - or polo. With the right color combinations and accessories, doesn't look masculine at all.

[chrystaltree]

Yes, but not rough "workman's" khakis. Susan Graver made a wonder soft, silky, dressy khaki pant and since my weight yo-yo's; I own those pants in 3 different sizes. They were made like a trouser jean with full leg but not a big wide leg. I love them. I wear them with white tees, white shirts, white tanks. I dress them up, dress them down. It's the only khaky pant that has ever worked for me.

Never have. Never will.

[mikki_g]

Never.

I have never seen a pair on a woman that was flattering. Just a very dated look.

or it looks like you're going to work.

I have some khaki's from the gap and the last few weeks I've been wearing my cords. Usually with white, navy or red. They are good and warm.

[favored]

No, don't wear them because they scream "uniform" to me, and I'm just not a khaki pants kinda girl. They're too boring to me.

I have a full-length pair from LOFT that I wear in the spring and summer. They are actually more of a stone color, but I still refer to them as khaki pants. I have the same pair of pants in black.

Here are a few tops I wear with the khaki pants:

Ann Taylor navy & white striped boatneck T-shirt with 3/4 sleeves; nude wedge sandals

Banana Republic orange long cardigan, white T, and print scarf in shades of chambray blue/orange/khaki/white; nude wedge sandals

Ann Taylor black blouson knit top with 3/4 sleeves; strappy black patent wedge sandals

Chico's chambray shirt-jacket (w/drawstring waist) worn over an orange tank; nude wedge sandals

I think you need to add a pair to your closet, magic!

[lolakimono]

I do wear them, but I'm in "corduroy" season now. I usually pair them with a cardigan, tank and fitted jacket, scarf, lightweight sweater, short sleeve turtleneck or sweater, or oxford.

[santorini]

I wear tan pants at least once a week. I'm not sure what ""woven"" is.
