Fall Trend Watch: Military Chic
Military has become a huge trend for for 2009-2010 fall winter. It's a very powerful and empowering look. This season the military trend is not restricted to the famous military jackets. You'll find it on shirts, skirts, boots and accessories like gloves, belts and hats.
Military jackets are a great way to toughen your look. This season's military style jackets are leading this trend with their gold and silver detailing, structured shoulders and sleek style. Military-inspired boots are also a great investment for the season.

How to wear Military Jackets?

Military Jackets are so masculine, they should be paired with outfits that exudes femininity. Dresses, pencil skirt, skinny jeans and tights are great options to pair with military jackets.

I have a military coat that I love & adore. I got it from Hot Topic actually but alot of other stores are bringing the style in. Military chic isnt new but it's certainly bigger now.

@Tastes_Eclectic_Fashion - Try looking around stores that sell juniors clothes or outlets. If juniors clothes dont fit you, you may have better luck with outlets. Even if you get a designer piece, it'll be drastically cheaper. The internet helps too. I did searches & I got back ALOT of good results, that's how I got my coat from Hot Topic (I saved $7 in shipping by getting it from a mall about 20 minutes away)! Good luck! =D

I have ALWAYS loved military style. I have a peacoat that belonged to my uncle when he was younger. He was Navy. I also have a white military style jacket with a belt on it that has 2 rows bronze-ish buttons down the front of it. It looks a lot like piece #7.
