Create an austere men's coordinate with khaki and gray color combination. Here are some examples of mature outfits!

Gray is an in-between neutral color that goes well with any color. It is, of course, a perfect match for khaki, the theme of this collection, and is a pair that can express an austere coordination of dusky coloring. In this issue, we will focus on men’s coordination combining khaki and gray, and introduce examples of outfits and recommended items for reference!

Khaki and gray are a color combination that can create an austere, mature vibe!

Gray is a basic color in men’s fashion, and its impression naturally depends on the color you match it with. Matching it with navy gives an elegant and chic impression, while matching it with black gives a monotone, cohesive, and modern impression. What about mixing gray with khaki? Both colors are dull and exude an austerity, making them a perfect match, and the austere color combination creates a mature mood. Both colors are standard for men, so it is attractive that you can try them with items you already have on hand.

Here are some examples of men’s coordination built with khaki and gray!

Add an accent color to a simple khaki and gray coordinate to avoid looking plain!

First, let’s pick up a simple coordinate of a khaki T-shirt and gray pants. While a heavier dark gray is a good choice, if you are going to wear this color combination in the spring and summer, we recommend choosing a light gray that is almost white, like the man here, for a cooler look. Another key point is to add a vivid color to the sneakers to prevent them from looking too simple and plain. The base of the sneakers is khaki, so the orange coloring blends in without any sense of discomfort.

If you’re going for a dark khaki and gray color scheme, it’s a good idea to add a sense of lightness to your outfit with other items.

Here is a men’s khaki and gray coordinate with just the tops. A gray T-shirt is worn as an inner layer of a khaki shirt jacket for a stylish color combination. The dark gray color combination is a complete change from the coordinate above, so the bottoms and shoes are white to create a light mood.

The khaki and gray coloring and accessories add a sense of unity to the coordinate! Look out for patterned accents!

The contrast between the light gray cut-and-sew and khaki pants is accentuated by tucking them in to create a clear border and emphasize the contrasting colors, which accentuates the curliness of the outfit. In addition, a khaki backpack also enhances the sense of unity of the entire coordination. A simple outfit can be made more fashionable by adding an accent color, or by accentuating it with a patterned item such as the checkered Vans slip-ons used in this coordinate.

If you are worried about the austerity of the dark khaki, use a gorgeous pattern and light gray items to create a brighter impression.

If you feel that dark-toned khaki is too austere, you can dispel that impression with a gorgeous pattern. For example, in this coordinating outfit that may serve as a reference, an aloha-style shirt with a botanical pattern on a khaki base is used. The dark khaki, the source of austerity, is instantly transformed into a bright impression with the addition of a resort-inspired pattern like this. The matching gray items are light-toned to enhance the bright image.

A khaki jacket tightens the contours of a base coordinate composed of pale tones.

A light, almost white, light gray T-shirt and white pants are worn with a khaki shirt jacket to give it a clear outline. Black, dark brown, and dark gray are often used to tighten a coordinated look, but if the base styling is only in pale tones, the lighter shade of khaki is enough to create a tight outfit.
