I'm picking up a couple of pairs of pants on sale, one of which is light tan: https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/men/khaki-pants/slim/ae-flex-slim-lived-in-khaki-pant/1120_4578_207?menu=cat4840004&utm_campaign=nogender_high_general&utm_content=ae&utm_medium=pla&utm_source=google&utm_term=pmax

I'm usually a black/gray/blue pants person. I'm not sure what colors would look the best with these tan pants. Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.

For casual wear, if I’m not grabbing a pair of jeans, then I’m usually grabbing some chinos. Nearly all my chinos (J Crew, Buck Mason, OrSlow, etc) are a shade of olive green. I’d like to mix it up with some chinos in other colors. Not interested in Navy.

So that leaves khaki. I particularly have my eye on the J Crew Classic Chinos in “stone” which is a light khaki.

Whenever I think of khakis I think of the gap from the 90s and looking like a Target or Best Buy worker.

Any tips on how to pair khakis or make them somewhat fashionable? Inspo pics would be cool too.

Thanks!

I'm headed to a conference this coming week. I've got my presentation outfit down pat, but I'm trying to think of something to wear the first day, when I'll be meeting several new people in my field. I know many conferences are casual enough to wear jeans, but I don't want to take that chance the first day. On the other hand, I don't want to overdress, so I'm trying to find something in-between. Do women still wear khakis, or khaki-colored pants, or should I wear something in black? Neither? Help! I am hopeless when it comes to fashion. For context, I'm a plus-size woman, about size 20 on the bottom with a defined waist and a very large bust. The weather will still be relatively cool (40s - 50s) so capris are kind of out. Thanks!
