Fashion 101: Styling the Military Jacket

Military jackets are definitely a trend that will be staying, even throughout spring! Spring is not an entirely hot season which means light weight jackets and cardigans will be needed. A military jacket is a great light weight throw over that can easily go with any outfit despite its very distinct pattern. The black, brown, and dark green colors in camo are all part of neutral color families which mean that they can go with other colors in your outfit easily without clashing. Below are three of my fave celebs sporting military jacket with tips on how you can rock them to.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is very casual and cool while wearing dark wash skinny jeans, black booties, and a blue t-shirt paired with a military jacket. The military jacket keeps her casual look from being boring and too simple by adding a trend and visual appeal through the pattern. A military jacket is such a great alternative to a hoodie or everyday jacket.

Kat Graham

Stud and spike detailing has been very popular and is a fun DIY project that you can do at home with a few materials. Kat Graham made her military jacket go from casual to glam with lots of gold detailing throughout the jacket and rolled up sleeves. Her sky high heels, black tights, oversized bag, and accessories add to her chic ensemble giving her a vibe of urban fabulous-ness.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens is known for her boho style which she always looks amazing in. Of course Vanessa will still keep with her bohemian look even in a military jacket. I love that Vanessa went for an all green jacket oppose to a camo look in this outfit because it is very subtle while still standing out because of its touch of bagginess. The military jacket is used as an accessory here in Vanessa's wide leg jeans, wide belt, and Wild Fox t-shirt look and it totally makes the look!

Fashion 101: The Military Jacket

 

The military jacket is becoming a hit fashion trend and makes any look instantly more casual and chic. The military jacket is such a cool style and I love how you can easily place it over any outfit   and you can even accessorize it! The military jacket works into all types of wardrobes even if you're usually a girly girl, chic and trendy, edgy, or a complete boho chick. Keep on reading to see how celebs like Kate Bosworth, Cheryl Cole, and Alexa Chung style the military jacket.


Kate Bosworth

Kate Bosworth uses a military jacket to toughen up an extremely lace-y an girly look with the use of the jacket. Its loose fit and neutral green color allows you to wear the jacket with just about anything and feel comfty and causal at the same time.

Cheryl Cole

If you're not into the loose fit of the jacket, you still have the ability to belt it! A wider sized belt will cinch in your waist and balance out with the entire amount of jacket you have on. You may even have the success of finding a military jacket with a built in drawstring at the waist.



Alexa Chung

 

For the girls who like to make each piece in their wardrobe their own, you can definitely embellish and DIY your military jacket with a variety of fabrics, buttons, and glitter galore!

OOTD: Black, Brown, and Booties

 Today I decided to go casual with a tiny bit of edge. I paired a brown and black striped crop top with denim skinny jeans with one of m favorite pairs of wedge booties. The top even has a drapey like fabric at the top that reminds of a scarf and complements my collar bone which I love. The overall look is comfortable, full of soft but strong colors, and makes me feel great and the height of the wedges help to make me feel even more on top of the world.

I had to do a cute leg pose to shoe off one of my favorite pairs of booties! These booties are so edgy and put me in a military, tough vibe. The straps, shoelaces, and grey/brown color allow the boots to go with just about anything! The height is high for some people's taste, but since it is a wedge they are much easier and comfortable to walk in.

 

 For my accessories I paired my everyday Betsey Johnson watch with a couple small rings in gold and silver as well as my JLANI Jewels multilink bracelet/ring chain duo. The jewelry combo is so delicate and elegant that it makes it's own little statement and goes perfect with my outfit.
