military mayhem
In the Army now Our fashion expert Mary-Louise Golds looks at one of this season’s upcoming trends, military style. his summer is full of different trends and new styles for us to try out, but one trend I’m really looking forward to through summer and autumn is the military-infused apparel studding our favourite stores.
So what pieces should you be looking out for in retailers? Firstly, think about leather boots. They’re always a great, staple garment with a little rebellious allure, and can be matched well with any sort of relaxed outfit. Don’t forget about olive and forest green trench coats and parka jackets; they’ll be a big hit with their strong military look. They’re also perfect for the autumn weather, making them a valuable shopping choice.
Looking fierce has never been so exhilarating! Imagine a range of earthy green tones in our favourite garments, leather boots, gold embellished buttons, embroidered emblems and a range of exciting autumn coats from parkas to trench coats, all with a military essence running through them. In past decades, dressing in military apparel was something done only by, well, the military! But now dressing in military-inspired ensembles is commonplace – but still a little bit edgy. What woman doesn’t love to look independent and strong? It’s a top priority, with more and more women looking to fashion as an outlet for them to express themselves and their personalities. Fashion itself is becoming more adventurous, and a prime example of this is military-inspired fashion and camouflage-infused clothing. I, like a lot of women, love this trend because although I love to look feminine, I think it’s rather fun and rejuvenating to tap into my tomboyish side now and then. Channelling that side of my personality through my clothes is even better!
