How to wear the military trend

Since it’s Veteran’s day, why not explore the military trend that is stronger than ever this season? Military jackets have become a staple among South Bay designer clothing as well as the rest of the country, but there other ways to translate this trend for your own personal style and give the look your own unique twist.

The structure of military inspired clothing is easily softened up with luxe fabrics and feminine details, as shown by designers across the board at the runway shows. While you won’t see camouflage prints and surplus army parkas at our fashion clothing store, you will see a new take on utilitarian silhouettes. Pair a military coat or jacket with sweaters in laid back textures to contrast the structured feel.

Forget about cargo dresses—South Bay designer clothing is teeming with military-inspired sheaths and LBDs with subtle details like exaggerated shoulders or buttons that give them a militaristic vibe. Never go overboard with this look—in fact, one piece per outfit will do the trick. Tuck skinny black jeans into tall, sleek boots for a sexy yet tough take on the trend.

Army green is ubiquitous among the collections at every fashion clothing store in the country.  Whether it’s a blouse, jacket or skirt, look for something in the piece that still offers some feminine styling, whether it’s the fabric or accents, to keep it fresh but flattering.

The military look seems to never go away, so getting a few key pieces is a smart investment.
