Is khaki the new black? GLAMOUR's Fashion Director Natalie Hartley thinks so

This shade of green looks great with all skin tones and doesn't wash you out as much as black does. It's as flattering as black can be in terms of its slimming qualities - especially if you go for a darker tone. A good pair of khaki trousers can be worn with a black roll neck, which requires zero effort. The two 'safe' colours together gives your outfit a stronger sense of style, giving the impression you've considered your look more artfully than a 'lazy' head-to-toe black outfit.

It's chic and elegant, yet has a 'street' quality too so also looks great with denim. It's a colour that can be trans-seasonal so will work hard in your wardrobe all year round.

I recently had a sneak peek at the pre-fall collection for Celine where this colour appeared again. Those wanting to tap into a bigger trend should start wearing khaki now and be ahead of the game.

My favourite pieces for spring (of which I have already bought!) are the Vetements khaki green tracksuit and I would wear it with a black ankle boot and add a longer length khaki coat or contrast it against a black with a oversized biker jacket. Designers like Versace and Balmain have always been behind the trend and Mango features this colour heavily in the new Kendall Jenner ad campaign so take your pick, these are the best of the rest:
