With a rebel vibe and a distinctly fashion soul, the military trend hits both the catwalks and the streets of the fashion system since years.
Saharan jackets, cargo pants and combat boots are the identikit of the perfect army and more and more are the brands that are making this army-chic attitude a proper masterpiece. Nowadays everyone know that streetstyle is the only fair trial for a look on point, but this time the wind of change comes from even further. Military style has its roots in the uniforms of the second world war’s army indeed, but being fashion a stage where old is not old but vintage, everything comes back.
That’s the reason why, both during fashion weeks and Instagram, we see flesh and blood battleships of fashion victims that couldn’t say no to this trend. And if you thought that camouflage was already out of fashion, you thought wrong. In a new color palette that takes inspiration from the desert shades with some sketches of neon orange or green, we see it back on track on the list of the SS 2019 must haves.
Military style doesn’t only stand for sporty, when properly matched it looks perfect for a relaxed but super chic look. The Saharan jacket, to pick an example, in its traditional tan and khaki shades, is lately painted, cut or embellished with beads and pom-pom that make this garment, originally stolen from a man’s wardrobe, contemporary and feminine at the same time.
We know that a total military look, even though we approve it at all, could only be for the braves; so if you’re one of those who would wear it just to take part to the burning man festival, take note that a skinny jeans, a maxi pleated skirt or a mini-dress are the perfect companions for military jackets, platform boots and biker boy hats.
All the elements of your new military closet have been given, you only need to join our army if you don’t want to be shot by our fashion general. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
