IT is well known for its military roots before it became popular in the fashion world.

And now khaki green is firmly back in fashion.

For spring/summer 2015, khaki has a smart, chic and tailored feel to it.

Forget the baggy combat trousers that were popular in the 1990s, and look for tapered trews or cigarette leg styles.

Blouses in military uniform-inspired colours and other khaki pieces were a hit on the Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Sonia Rykiel and Ralph Lauren catwalks.

Suede khaki pieces were used in Chanel's feminist protest show, while Marc Jacobs went for a more sexy silhouette.

High street stores are offering plenty of choices when it comes to khaki.

At Simply Be, the classic parkas look updated and fresh paired with white and tan.

House of Fraser has designed a playsuit that is likely to go straight on to your holiday shopping list.

For the office, why not try this pair of trousers with smart belt detail from M&Co?

At just £10 they are very reasonably priced and will look fantastic teamed with a blouse.

For an evening outfit, this jumpsuit from Wallis is the one for you. The drawstring style and long sleeves will flatter most figures as well as hiding stomachs.

To nail the streamlined khaki silhouette, pick up this pencil skirt from Miss Selfridge.

For a Ralph Lauren-inspired safari khaki look, head to F&F at Tesco for this cool jacket.
