What a combination of khaki with red says about a person
The combination of red and khaki is extravagant . Khaki itself is natural and is suitable for those who do not want to attract too much attention. But red is contrasting to it, it is chosen by strong and eccentric people. Therefore, by the proportions of red and khaki in the image, one can judge how much a person likes to be in the spotlight.

The combination of red and khaki will suit most girls. The main thing is to choose your own shades and mix them correctly.
Red-haired girls can use all shades of both khaki and red. These two colors advantageously emphasize their bright appearance.
For brunettes, bright colors or a noble burgundy are best suited.
Blondes are suitable wine shades, red with a light plum tone or bright red.
At the same time, do not forget that both red and khaki very strongly emphasize the unhealthy condition of the skin. Therefore, if there are bruises on the face, allergy spots, or simply the consequences of a cold, it is better to abandon this image.
How to make outfit
An outfit aged in swamp shades is enough to dilute with a bright red accessory. It can be a bag, belt, shoes. If you choose a blouse or a skirt of bright red, then the rest of the image should be in swamp or olive shades.
Sometimes hacks may not be the primary color of the image. For example, trousers or a khaki skirt can smooth out a vibrant look and make it more modest.
Instead of red, you can use a pastel pink tint to create a delicate look. It goes well with rich swamp or olive and beige. A pink blouse, cardigan or sweater will work with trousers or a khaki skirt. You can complement them with skin-colored boats or sneakers.

For work, a combination of a marsh trouser suit with a red sweater or blouse is suitable. If the dress code is strict, then an accent in the form of a business bag is suitable.
For a casual look, pair khaki skinny jeans with a bright top. In the cool season, this is all complemented by a bomber or a park. Another option is a combination of a pink or burgundy dress made of knitwear and a straight cut with a marsh cardigan.
Over the past couple of seasons, overalls have not lost their relevance. They are suitable for walking around the city or for work without a strict dress code. A wine-colored t-shirt or turtleneck is suitable for a saturated swamp tone jumpsuit.
A flared khaki skirt in combination with a bright or delicate red top is suitable for meeting friends and walking.
And a simple dress of swamp or olive color will be transformed if you add bright shoes and a bag to it. A wide-brimmed hat will complete the image in summer or autumn.
