Be All You Can Be

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Today we’re saluting one of the season’s biggest trends: army jackets. Though not exactly feminine in nature, this outerwear commands attention for its distinct G.I. Jane-esque attitude. From its army-green hue to its utility form, these jackets cover two spring trends at once. How’s that for a styling tactic? Aside from that, you’ll be surprised at how easily an army jacket will coordinate with just about any casual look you can throw together. Wear it as a blazer substitute over a flirty dress, jeans and a tee, leggings and a button-up shirt, and so on. Plus, if this summer shapes up to be as temperate as last year, you’ll need a hip, versatile jacket that’ll serve you throughout the season. Check out these army jackets ready for spring recruitment.
