How to Wear Khaki This Autumn: Stradivarius ‘On the Green’ and ‘My City, My Rules’ Looks

Every autumn has a colour, and at Stradivarius this year it is khaki. The Inditex-owned brand has built a whole capsule around it, called ‘On the Green’, and followed it with a second autumn editorial, ‘My City, My Rules’, that adds brown, black and olive to the mix. Together they give a clear picture of what the brand wants you to wear from October onwards.

Khaki can be tricky if you have never worn it. It can look military, it can look dull, and it can look expensive, depending on the cut and what you put with it. This guide pulls out the key pieces Stradivarius describes for the season and shows how to wear each one. Everything comes from the brand’s own descriptions, so check the Stradivarius site for current stock, sizes and prices.

What Is the ‘On the Green’ Collection?

Stradivarius presented On the Green on 23 September 2026. It describes it as an urban, versatile capsule that raises khaki green to the key colour of the season, with a relaxed yet sophisticated feel and a retro look that nods to sport. The brand highlights loose silhouettes, satiny textures and a contrast between structured garments and knitted pieces.

The key pieces it lists are cropped trench coats, bomber jackets and structured leather-effect jackets. Trousers range from relaxed wide-leg styles to straight-cut jeans in a medium blue, and there are loose bermuda shorts in structured fabrics. To finish, it points to striped jumpers, college-style sweatshirts with wide sleeves and layered pieces with a 90s feel.

Khaki Basics That Work With What You Own

The easiest way into khaki is to treat it like a neutral. Pair it with white, black or denim and it behaves like beige, only with more character. A few simple combinations:

• Khaki skirt or trousers with a striped jumper. Stripes are a recurring theme in the collection, and a black and cream stripe keeps the look balanced.
• Khaki top with medium-blue jeans. Stradivarius names straight-cut medium-blue jeans as part of the range, and blue and olive sit well together.
• Khaki trousers with a white sweatshirt. A loose, wide-sleeved college-style sweatshirt softens the structure of cargo-like trousers.
• Khaki with black boots. Black leather-effect boots add contrast and stop an all-green outfit from feeling flat.

Statement Layers: Trenches, Bombers and Leather-Effect Jackets

The jackets are where the collection gets most of its attitude. A cropped trench coat is a good fit with high-waisted trousers because it keeps the proportions neat. A bomber is the casual option: wear it over a knit and wide-leg jeans for a weekend look. The structured leather-effect jackets Stradivarius mentions suit people who prefer a sharper silhouette, especially with straight trousers and a plain top.

Layering is the common thread across both collections. In its ‘My City, My Rules’ editorial, published on 23 October 2026, the brand says the season is about layering, comfort and colour combinations, mixing smooth and knitted fabrics with faux-leather or faux-fur finishes. Quilted, faux-fur and suede-effect jackets are refreshed with zip fastenings and asymmetric button closures.

Brown, Black and Olive: The My City, My Rules Palette

If khaki on its own feels too much, the second collection widens the palette. Stradivarius says brown, black and olive green set the autumn tone, lifted with stripes in red, burgundy and camel. Barrel-leg trousers are named as a key piece, with relaxed silhouettes that bring what the brand calls a sense of ease.

A practical way to use this palette: start with one olive piece, add one brown piece and keep everything else black or white. For example, olive trousers, a brown suede-effect jacket and a black knit make a complete outfit without any colour clashes. A striped scarf in red, burgundy or camel then adds a single bright accent.

Accessories That Finish the Look

Stradivarius is pushing accessories as hard as clothes this season. On the Green highlights large bags with multiple pockets, described as made for the chaos of everyday life, along with smaller bags. My City, My Rules adds striped scarves, baguette and bowling bags in faux-leather and faux-fur finishes, and knee-high and ankle boots in neutral shades.

Keep the accessories simple if the clothes are busy. A black or dark green bag works with nearly every khaki outfit, and knee-high boots lengthen the leg when you wear them with a skirt or a shorter jacket.

Prices and What to Expect

Stradivarius does not publish a single price list for these collections, and prices differ by country. For reference, Spanish fashion site El Periodico listed some autumn arrivals in Spain in August and September 2026, including a striped thin jumper at 9.99 euros, barrel jeans at 35.99 euros, a short trench with belt at 39.99 euros and a suede-effect bomber at 45.99 euros. Those were Spanish prices at launch and may differ on the French site or have changed since, so treat them as a rough guide to the brand’s positioning, which is affordable high-street fashion.

If you plan to buy, check the item page for the current price, size availability and delivery and returns terms before you order.

Final Thoughts

Khaki is easier to wear than it looks, and Stradivarius has made it easy to try with a mix of basics and statement pieces.
