I am 40. Starting this year there was two work functions that required "khakis". And it took some online searching to figure out exactly what this meant. At first, I was confused about why the color mattered - thinking it was color. Do my cargo pants count? Can they be shorts? This article leaves this still inconclusive. When I asked the boss, he said "just don't wear jeans". I was still confused, because I don't own jeans. Suit pants seemed like too much, cargo pants too little. But the cargo pants I have are exactly like the "khakis" I've seen, only they have two more pockets. Same material. Same color. So, I thought, is "khakis" a non-English word for "less pockets" or "Four Pockets"? Still very confused.
