The Clean Khaki: Perfect for the genuine good guy’s special moments

Genuine good guys want to look their best for the momentous times in their lives—their first kiss on their first date, the handshake after a successful job interview, those animated chats with friends during chill nights, the laugh fest and camaraderie at family reunions, and that very special moment when their sweethearts say ‘yes’ to the marriage proposal.

With such ‘Instagrammable’ moments in mind, Dockers believes that grabbing the first pair of pants you see in the closet just won’t do.

If Dockers, the trusted men’s clothing brand, introduced khaki to men’s fashion at a time the genuine good guys needed it most, it now brings men the Clean Khaki, its signature khaki made specially for looking good during life’s unexpected great moments.

Depicting the very concept of smart casual, these chinos are made with clean lines and classic khaki styling. Available in a full spectrum of colors, the Clean Khaki offers a hip vibe, adding a contemporary tweak to the traditional khaki.
