The khaki blazers are not a new style since the color has been in and out of trend for a long time now. Khaki like many other classic mens style has its origin in the military. This might be one of the reasons why khaki has survived the volatile fashion market for over two centuries. Even today there are many countries which use the khaki clothing as the military uniforms. Khaki was introduced to the Western world during the World War times by the Indian soldiers. This was during the start of the 1800s and at that time the British soldiers had uniforms that consisted of a red coat with white trousers. This was the time when the warring techniques were far different than what we have now. At that time soldiers faced off each other in the war and indulged in physical fight.

Also when the British captured India the bright red wool coat did not do much good considering the hot climate. Thus the soldiers shifted to lightweight gently woven clothes. Also the soldiers smeared their white trousers with mud to blend in with the surroundings. And with the advancement of the technology the warring techniques also changed. Guns were introduced and soldiers fought from a distance. While the former bright uniforms were used to identify their own soldiers during the fight the new warring method required more camouflage from the uniforms. Thus the khaki uniforms became a staple for the soldiers fighting from the trenches.

Soon the khaki uniform trend spread from the British to other western countries too. With the popularity of the khaki uniforms they also became a major hit among the civilians. People started to wear khaki clothing and the trend started to proliferate. Since then the khaki clothing trend has been in and out of style.
