STYLE GURU STYLE: Military-Chic

As many of you have heard, Kanye West’s x adidas Originals fall 2015 menswear show wasn’t anything short of a huge success. Many people are calling his runway show genius. As Style.com raves about this runway show, they explain why the military aspect was a big part of the success. The author goes on to explain how the adidas clothes were nothing more than simple accessories to accompany the Yeezy Boots.

I was inspired by this runway show to create my own Kanye West-inspired military look. I love the earthy tones and inspiration that went behind every individual outfit created in the show. I decided to look through my wardrobe and pick out a different color or tone of each piece in my ensemble.

I knew that I would need to incorporate my favorite army green/blue coat, since this is the basic definition of military. My classic black denim (which would look good ripped as well) and a Free People white shirt are the base of my outfit. The finishing touches include my huge multi-colored scarf as well as my go-to black booties. I have worn these booties out almost every weekend since I purchased them. They are the best basic pair of booties that go with every outfit. These booties pull together the military look because of their masculine and classic look. This is a stylish version of the menswear show that is a natural and effortless look on any college campus.

Get My Look: 1. Military jacket. 2. Big scarf. 3. Booties.
