Trend: Khaki, Day to Night…

January 11, 2015 / Becky Barnes /
As we head towards Spring/Summer one of the trends I’m most excited about is khaki, it’s been a while since this military inspired colour palette has been on the high street, so I’m looking forward to rocking a few army inspired pieces.
I bought this khaki tunic from New Look last week. It’s quite a basic piece so it’s really versatile. I wore it yesterday for both the day time and evening.
DAY

I wore: Leggings – Sainsburys// Tunic – New Look// Cardigan – Boohoo// Boots – New Look//

For my day time look I opted for comfort (there’s a big surprise!), I teamed the tunic with leggings, biker boots and a big chunky cardigan.  I sized up to a 24 with the tunic as I can find New Look a little small fitting in tops. 

The tunic has pockets with is always nice! It’s a heavy jersey, almost sweatshirt material. It has cap sleeves and comes up mid-thigh on me. I probably could get away wearing tights with it, but I prefer to wear leggings with anything above knee length really.  

 

 NIGHT

For my evening look I just swapped the cardigan for this jacket from Simply Be, I rolled the leggings up and changed my boots to these shoes from ASOS, added a clutch and some nice jewellery. 

I wore: Leggings – Sainsburys// Tunic – New Look// Jacket – Simply Be// Shoes – ASOS

This quite an understated look. We were just going out for dinner at a smokehouse kind of place so it was a pretty casual affair. I was really glad of the shoes too as we had quite a walk from the car to the restaurant! I know I enthused about these shoes in my last post, but they really are so great, and comfortable but so stylish and in the sale! Winner winner!!
