Fall's Next It Pant-Color Trend Has Officially Arrived

By Swedan MargenJuly 7, 2026

Listen—as someone who adores summer, this record heat is actually making me, along with other summer lovers, think about the cooler season ahead. Is it so wrong to think about fall in July? Shailene Woodley doesn’t think so. Woodley was just photographed in Paris wearing a pair of pants in a color trend that's far more fall-forward than summer. The color in question wasn’t the usual burgundy or black; it was khaki. And not just any shade—British khaki.

If you didn’t know, British khaki is a deeper, earthier hue than the typical tan khaki. While the color has origins in the 19th century, it’s now used in contemporary clothing and is a cool, unexpected pant color that's perfect to wear in the fall. Woodley’s outfit provides the perfect example of how to wear it with a casual outfit. She wore her British khaki-colored pants with a boxy black T-shirt and loafers. She completed her look with an L.A. Dodgers baseball cap and an oversized black bag. Her pants successfully break up the dark colors of the outfit. This hue is eye-catching, but also sophisticated, and very fall-coded. Consider British khaki pants a great swap for jeans.
