At ease soldier. This iconic silhouette first made its celebrity debut with music icons The Beatles and Michael Jackson. Fall is great time to pay your respects to this fabulous piece of outwear.

As the weather turns sour and we gain our hour of sleep (Ahem, my favorite time of year.), layers are our best friends. What better to layer over our sweaters and scarves than a military jacket?

Camo green hues, metal accents, wooden toggles and cargo pockets are staples accents to look out for when purchasing a military jacket. Would you go structured and fitted or oversized and masculine?

Miss Match:  I adore this Cynthia Rowley military-inspired coat paired will a bold leopard print jacket, classic button up and sleek burgundy leather skirt. This shoot was recently taken in a military garb feature in Teen Vogue.

All Buttoned UP: Spanish Moss is one of my favorite under-the-radar boutique websites that caters to the hippie gypsy (yes, there’s such a thing). The details on this military wool coat, the Geneva Woodland Jacket, are stunning and make this piece a statement.

Go Camo or Go Home: Urban Outfitters carries affordable and high end military jackets that really have a mind of their own. Don’t be scared to pair your military coat with a sexy pair of tights for a night out on the town. Featured here – the Wood Wood Kate Camo Jacket.
