The Seoul-based label Khakis, created by the same team behind thisisneverthat, refuses to abandon the worn-in aesthetic that has defined its rise. For Fall/Winter 2026, the brand once again mines decades of military, workwear, and outdoor references to deliver pieces that look and feel as if they were pulled straight from another era.
Khakis, the vintage-obsessed clothing brand from JKND Co. Ltd., has spent the last few seasons building a devoted following. The same Seoul-based creative group that introduced thisisneverthat has leaned into heavily washed and naturally aged military- and workwear-inspired garments, earning a reputation for clothes that carry the patina of years of use.
The label has also built momentum through collaborations with Merrell, New Balance, Reebok, and nonnative, while its Seoul flagship has quietly become a destination in its own right. The store has hosted several pop-ups with everyone, a Japanese fashion brand that continues to gain influence with its understated approach.
For Fall/Winter 2026, Khakis is sticking with the formula that brought it this far. Rather than reinventing its style, the brand doubles down on the details that matter: the right fit, the right fabrication, and, most notably, the right amount of wear. Each piece looks convincingly lived-in, as if it has already spent years in rotation.
The new collection extends the label’s ongoing exploration of utilitarian design, pulling from military surplus, classic workwear, and outdoor gear. The result is clothing that feels both nostalgic and functional, made for those who take their old clothes very seriously.
With FW26, Khakis proves once again that a deep respect for the past can still produce something fresh. For fans of naturally aged fabrics and time-tested silhouettes, the new range looks set to continue the label’s winning streak.
