How to wear the Military Trend for Fall 2010 Last Updated: August 12, 2010

You can easily add this trend to your wardrobe, while observing varying degrees of military-ness! For the office, you can wear elegant dresses with military accents, or military-inspired shapes (strong shoulder dresses in shades of olive green). Accessorize with strong but sleek handbags & shoes, and skip the ruffles & fringe for now (unless the fringe is an epaulet!)

The easiest way to look military is through the use of colour - any olive or khaki green with gold buttons or accents, or navy blue items jackets with splashes of gold and white. Or, for the fashion forward types, you can go VERY big military with a full-on military jacket, leggings and statement boots. Embrace your authoritative self!


Three different looks below to help you get started!

Look #1: Classic elegance with a military twist
If you want to add the military trend to your wardrobe but still maintain a classic style, this is the perfect choice. Pair an olive green statement dress with elegant accessories (note the chain strap handbag, which will not weigh down the dress!)

Look #2: Subtle military with a splash of the minimalist trend
This look actually combines two trends into one! You could call this "minimalist military" - it has an uncluttered & elegant feel. This is office appropriate, but also works on a fun night out.
