“Fashion fades, only style remains same” said legendary Coco Chanel. Truly, fashion keeps on reinventing itself to good or bad (quite subjective) every season telling stories and acting as a medium of self expression provided that ‘I make my own way’ streak exude from under-the-skin. Amidst all this evanescing fashion, there stays Military inspired trend, rattling classiness and rebelliousness with a heavy dose of above-the -skin style.

From last many seasons military inspired designs have been quite ubiquitous on the runways around the world. Designers imbued with war ravages, fearlessness and goriness made the military trend one safe harbor to resort to in times of fashionable bewilderment. Loads of khaki, green and gray in camouflage prints with accentuated shoulders, linear silhouettes and big round buttons reflect the elegant yet bold style.

The winters (though vanished, but never underestimate the season-al moods) this season are showing the spirit of pre 50s with the influences from Royal force inspired Aviator jackets with big collars, Russian military inspired capes, peacoats, cadet jackets, heavy boots and cargo pants. The designers like Burberry, Etro, MaxMara, Ritu Beri, William Rast and Chanel strutted on the no-nonsense spic and span military designs. 

The military fashion is not restrained to this season only. The upcoming seasons also seem celebrating the rebelliousness of the trend mingling it with varied ideas. But the trend comes with appropriate style catalysts and know-how. The look seems masculine unless you infuse the feminine features to make it more androgynously elegant. Like play with white shirts, chiffon blouses, ruffled dresses, knit jumpers and pair them up with your military jacket and coats. Further, complement the look by leather bags, shearling booties ( like Burberry), thigh high boots, feminine accessories (ala Etro) and waist cinching leather belts ( in the style of Max Mara) to clock up the military chic look Or, let your look be very simple yet highly trendy by teaming up a military jacket with a tank top and skinny jeans.

The aviator jackets or flying jackets are one big fashionable outerwear this season. The big collared jackets ala Mulberry and Adam ensure eulogizing glares if you pair them perfectly. Club your favorite jacket with cocktail gowns, pencil skirts and tailored pants topped with an easy going relaxed attitude to brighten up the room you as soon as step in
