Military Influences

1. Military Jacket

Pricegrabber.com

A military-look jacket with a cut for a feminine body, this Mossimo jacket has an peplum waist for definition and comes in neutral-friendly olive. I'd wear this jacket with jeans or mix with other neutrals like black or khaki.

2. Camo Skirt

Gap

I really like the faded print look of this simple straight camo skirt from Gap. It sits below the waist, hits above the knee so it will work on lots of body types. Go for a masculine-feminine look by pairing it with a soft voile blouse or just a simple tee for the weekend. 

3. Military Bag

Zappos.com

Are you as tired of "It" bags as I am? It's really time to make your accessories stand at attention with Oakley's khaki waxed canvas bag with wide leather straps (and it's under $60.)

4. Olive Shirtdress

Nordstrom.com

All of the crispness of the military, plus the softness of a belted shirtdrress: Tory Burch's version of the military trend is this olive green stretch poplin dress which is perfect to take you all the way through next fall. I really like how the signature gold buttons pop on this dress; also, it's nice to see a dress that hits around the knee instead of being super short (more realistic for most of us girls.)

5. Utility Pant

Pricegrabber.com

Newport News' washed cargo pants feature loads of pockets and a soft, relaxed fit. These are the pants you'll want to pair with everything from cardigans to tanks. 3 colors and a wide variety of sizes (missy, petite, tall and plus.)

 

6. Military Cap

Add a pop of this great deep red to your military khakis and olives with this wool-blend cap from Juicy Couture.

7. Camp Shirt

Gap.com

With utilitarian touches like patch pockets and sleeve tabs to roll up the long sleeves, this Gap camp shirt has all the makings of a great men's shirt. But what I appreciate is that it's been cut for a woman, with a fitted silhouette that gives it a great masculine-feminine vibe.
