STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: A Jacket Says A Thousand Styles

If you’re anything like me, versatility is key when buying and styling clothes. Not only do I need something that is durable, but I also need something that is stylish at the same time. The military trend is one of those trends that can be dressed up or down. The military jacket is closet staple that is functional and sturdy while still being stylish enough to wear with any outfit.

Besides its functionality, the military jacket is a timeless piece that looks good with almost any outfit. The androgynous and boyish look of the jacket can be paired with anything ranging from pants to skirts to dresses.

This Fashionista is rocking the military trend. Instead of having the jacket tone down the rest of the outfit, she makes it the centerpiece. She keeps everything else in her outfit black, with only a few pops of color here and there. One of the ways that she adds a pop of color is with her graphic T-shirt. Instead of taking away from the outfit, the shirt adds more personality. She also adds a necklace to add some femininity to such an androgynous outfit. Committing to the androgynous military look, this Fashionista finishes off her outfit with combat boots.

The military jacket is a great article of clothing to have in your closet because there are so many different ways you can wear it. You can follow in this Fashionista’s footsteps and go for the more androgynous look, or you can pair it with a dress and statement necklace and go for a more feminine look. With such a versatile piece, it not wonder that this piece has withstood the test of time.
