A Doce of Military Dicipline

March into Spring with Military Inspiration

A new necessity is now on my list--a military inspired jacket! Many think that military jackets are too similar to leather jackets, but let me inform you differently!

Recently spotted draped across the shoulders of Beyonce and fashion icon Victoria Beckman, military jackets are making appearances! Available in fabrics from leather to suade, this staple piece can be girly and chic or found with a rocker inspired edge.

Beyonce's Balmain crystal embellished jacket proves that diva and military work together to create a fashion explosion! This jacket is not only sharp and clean cut looking due to the solid black tone and the diagonal cut, but the beautiful crystals add a splash of feminity and spunk. Paired with her dark wash jeans Beyonce lets the jacket do all the commanding by toning down the rest of her outfit with solid colors and textures.

Victoria Beckham's military look goes in a different direction- punk. The leather and extremely structured shoulders creates an avante-garde look, however the small buttons and tailored fit keep the look in line and not too busy. Paired with bleach wash skinny jeans and black accesories the look stays structured but stands out.

Whether you're looking for a casual jacket with a trendy edge or a clean cut, tailored jacket- military styles are available in denim, wool, leather and suade! Check out the many styles and brands creating a must have look this spring and march into the fashion rhythm with this item!
