» top ten favorite trends of fall 2010: #2 military

Unless you haven’t picked up a magazine in the last 5 months, shopped online, or watched TV, you probably have heard a lot about this Military craze. The question is, how do you make it work for you? We don’t suggest going head to toe military unless you are IN the military… Instead pull details from this trend and incorporate them into the rest of your wardrobe.
Try some cargo pants-there are so many flattering styles that are all woman…we especially love cropped cargos paired with heels. Cargo pants aren’t your thing? Go for silky button down with double cargo breast pockets…a fitted version looks great tucked into a pencil skirt. You can belt an oversized version over leggings for a sexy, “borrowed from the boys” look. Also look for gold accents, such as studs, metal stars, and big brass buttons (you can even switch out the plain buttons on an old shirt for some shiny gold ones! Just make sure they’re the right size.) Epaulets, tabs, and drawstrings are easy details to mix in as well. Of course, olive green and all shades of this flattering color go hand in hand with this trend.
Finally, why don’t you try mixing in some leopard, sequins, or fur with your military pieces to add a little unexpected glamour? You will be the envy of your friends and MOST importantly…you won’t be boring!
