When it comes to casual tops, you can’t beat a classic T-shirt – especially when you’re wearing khakis. A basic cotton V- or scoop neck tee has a relaxed look that works well even with a tailored pair of khakis. Create a low-key look for the weekend with your khakis by pairing them with a white T-shirt and tennis shoes or ballet flats. Because khakis are a neutral, you can wear with them virtually any color without having to worry about clashing - choose a tee in a bright shade like red, hot pink, lime or turquoise. In warmer weather, a tank top can work in place of a T-shirt.

If you work in a casual office setting, khakis can serve as work wear. Give them a more polished look by pairing them with a button-down top and pumps or ankle boots. With a fitted, tailored top, you can leave the button-down untucked. If it’s a longer style, though, tuck the shirt into your khakis for the neatest, most professional look. A traditional white button-down blouse is a safe option, but you can give your outfit a little more personality by choosing another color. In the spring and summer, a button-down in a pastel color like pink, peach, lilac or mint is an attractive option with your khakis. If the fall and winter, go with a richer shade for your top like cobalt, cranberry or emerald.

In cold weather, keep warm by pairing your khakis with a cozy sweater. A slim-fitting cashmere or cable-knit sweater with a V-neck is a flattering option, though your khakis can also work well with a cowl or turtleneck sweater. If you like a layered look, wear a cardigan sweater with your pants. You can opt for a set that features a matching shell and cardigan, or you can wear your sweater over a camisole or T-shirt.

Since khakis have a basic look, they’re the ideal pants to wear with a statement top – just make sure it’s in a casual material like cotton or linen to match the style of the pants. You can pair the khakis with a t-shirt, tunic or blouse in a bold pattern like stripes, plaid, polka dots or a floral design. Khakis can also work well with tops that feature decorative details like lace, ruffles or a bow-tie neckline. If you’re wearing skinny or capri khakis, a peasant blouse or tunic with embroidered detail is also a striking option.
