Khaki green is emerging as a key trend this season …

Fashion and interiors often move in the same direction, reflecting shifts in the mood. Traditionally, khaki referred to a dusty tan shade used in military uniforms. Over time, it has broadened to include a spectrum of earthy tones, from brown and yellow-beige to the richer khaki green now in focus. As a versatile neutral, it works effortlessly across both wardrobes and living spaces. In interiors, it pairs beautifully with natural materials such as wood and stone, creating a look that feels grounded and modern.

Khaki is one of the biggest fashion trends for SS26 – with khaki trousers, jeans and knitwear in full focus.

Designer of the moment, Louise Trotter for Bottega Veneta, creates exciting colour combinations: a khaki leather skirt, moss green leather jacket, apple green handbag and baby pink shirt.

Shades of muted, earthy green are the perfect choice for a study or TV room – or any space where you want a calm atmosphere. @the_paint_diva
