Pick Your Style: Military

Welcome to the new section of my blog: Pick Your Style.
Because there are so many different styles out in the blogger/fashion world and that I also experimate with different things, I wanted to dedicate a part of my blog to a lot of unique styles and trends. There are so many great clothes and styles in the world who help all different people to express themselves, so I thought it would be nice to give those styles some credit for the amazing things we see on all the catwalks and all the blogs.

Today I wanted to a trend that is currently very popular on the catwalk: The Military Look. It started in 2008, while military jackets, inspired by the unifroms of the 19th century, ruled the catwalk. Beautiful colours like dark blue and crimsonred were used for those jackets with huge buttons.





A designer who you could call the king of military jackets is of course Balmain, with his amazing statementshoulderjackets. Aren't they amazing? Its just that modern rock edge that makes them fabulous!





How to combine it? Jeans is the best thing. But you can also combine it with a dress, as I did a while ago. This jacket is from H&M btw.





This trend was immensely popular and didn't, as many trends, die after one year. It evolved into another aspect of the military trend, the functional and practical one. It is focused now on the uniforms of the 20th century, with army colours as green and beige, with camouflage prints. Clothes are thin, ripped and short, but oh so lovely. It really is a though look and maybe is not suited for everybody's taste, but I'm seeing it more and more on blogs lately!






The military trend from 2010 is also a very close brother to the lovely aviator trend, a trend that, just like the military, is popular for quite a while now. But thats for another time.



Hope you liked this post! Next post will be a FLB and I will post an outfit soon again! xoxo Sabine
