Safari

Safari is a practical, adventurous style inspired by clothing for African expeditions and travel. Its marks: khaki, sand and beige; natural breathable fabrics (cotton, linen); a multitude of patch pockets, epaulettes, belts, safari jackets and trenches. The style celebrates function, freedom of movement and a connection to nature, combining utility with elegant restraint. French designers of the 1960s — among them Yves Saint Laurent with his famous 'saharienne' and Ted Lapidus — brought safari into high fashion. The safari look is associated with travel, warm climates, lightness and sensible comfort. Its earthy, calm palette makes it versatile and easy to combine. It is a style for those who value practical elegance with a note of the romance of distant journeys.
