Maybe I'm thinking about this too much, but when did khaki pants take over the world? Khakis are the official pants of business casual, and also the official pants of school uniforms. This means, that there could be individuals that wear khakis for the majority of their lives.
Have those in charge of this uniform uniforming system thought about how this is affecting individuals? What if khaki is not a flattering color for someone? Or what if someone develops an allergy to khaki after years of exposure?
I used to be into khakis. I had a nice pair from The Gap with a flat front. I probably paired them with a white button up and a leather belt. And it was probably 1995.
I don't know what happened to my khakis. They probably got a stain on them, and then I sent them to Goodwill where maybe they were picked up by a school girl that needed a pair of pants, and those khakis only made it through one day because the headmaster noticed they were stained and told her not to where them again, so then they were sent to Goodwill again where they were noticed by a Target employee (who would just be unloading trucks so the stain wouldn't matter) who used them as a part of her uniform. That's probably what happened.
If we're going to make it as a futuristic society, the khakis need to go.
