If ever there were one item that could match denim's versatility, it would be khakis. For one thing, a classic like khakis never goes out of style. And over the past few months they've returned to the spotlight, making them somewhat of a wardrobe essential. They've been spotted on models like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, and Vogue is calling them this year's basics most likely to replace your jeans.

These new versions are tailored, cool and feminine. Fashion e-retailer Moda Operandi has stocked its site with a ton of contemporary versions and designers like Alexander Wang, Balenciaga and Reformation are coming out with their own versions.
