Ever the barometer of popular trends, Calvin Klein has introduced CK Calvin Klein Jeans Khakis. This mouthful refers to a collection that will feature all shades of khaki and a wide range of khaki pants, from chinos to military styles.
For Klein, who has made a religion of degrees of beige, inventing and using dozens of shades of khaki for trousers, jackets, knitwear and so on should not be difficult.The line, in stores next spring, should provide one antidote for the vexing problem of many white-collar workers who want to dress casually without wearing jeans. Klein is also ensuring that he is not left out of the re-emerging preppy look, which started as a subtrend on the streets three years ago and has gathered steam, as evidenced by the renewed popularity of the polo shirt.
