…and dress like them! The hottest trend this Fall is the military look. To get that G.I. Jane inspired effect you can pull a Demi Moore and shave your head, however; if you aren’t in the mood for a new ‘do check out some of the latest and greatest at NVClothing.com! Grommets, buttons and camo are finding its way into everything, but we’ve narrowed it down to a few key looks! To achieve a stylish yet polished appearance its best to pair the item with something more feminine to contrast the masculinity of military fashion. A great alternative to denim is a pair of skinny cargo pants – we recommend Free People’s Skinny Military Pant in Olive. From casual to chic these military skinnies can be paired with oxford lace ups and a long sleeve tee or some chic heels and a sequin tank! Looking for a closet staple that will go the distance? Elizabeth and James’ timeless Explorer Blouse in Military Green button-tab epaulets, inverted pleat patch pockets, and a shirttail hem with button-tabs that gathers the sides. Wear it to work over a knee length skirt – belted for a cinched waist- or to cocktails over dark skinny jeans with a great pair of booties! For outerwear we recommend Kill City’s Best Shot Jacket in olive – a steal at only $98.00! This casual coat features all the best military nuances from epaulettes to cargo pockets and looks great layered with a fur vest! If olive just isn’t your color Free People’s Military Platoon jacket features a similar look to the Best Shot Jacket, only in black! The Elizabeth and James Carni Blazer is another extremely versatile alternative, featuring a twill charcoal blazer with a notched collar, flap pockets at hips, military inspired buttons, and most importantly- a detachable black down vest with an ultra luxurious rabbit fur hood! Well worth the splurge! To D.I.Y the military style don an old blazer and replace the buttons with something military inspired. Also, you can head to a local army surplus store where you are sure to find an oversized cotton or canvas camo jacket – which can be worn as is or cut the sleeves off and wear as a vest layered over cardigans, sweaters, and tee’s. Most of these stores even carry dog tags, which can be personalized!
