Perfect military look
Perfect military look
The military look is still on top. In men’s fashion, it's usually associated with using a military camouflage pattern. However, it’s not the only possibility to create such a look. This design has way more to offer, even the elegant clothes like trench coats and chino trousers. There're a few colours that are considered as military ones – khaki, dark green and navy blue. Don’t forget about accessories and details, e.g. double-breasted fastenings, badges, epaulettes and large, versatile cargo pockets.
Although military fashion has got lots to offer, it’s not so easy to create a perfect look. The first rule you should learn is to keep balance. A styling can’t look like a full dress uniform or a casual uniform of a soldier. So, how to design a decent outfit with camo inserts?
Military style for every day
Give up on the idea of dressing up in the camo pattern from head to toe. Matching various military clothes with each other isn’t the answer. It’s way better to break the look with colours and casual or elegant clothes.
Everyday outfits can be freely matched with hoodies and sweatshirts with a camo overprint or details. Then, get trendy joggers or baggy trousers and a T-shirt and comfy sneakers.
If you’re a minimalist, create a military look with just one element that is army-inspired. A T-shirt with a large camo print will look more eye-catching when matched with black jeans, an oversize hoodie and trendy white sneakers.
Learn how to fit a camo pattern to other colours. A bomber jacket looks amazing with jeans or comfy khaki trousers. Such a look can be complemented with a cotton sweatshirt in neutral colours and comfy sneakers.
If camo cargo trousers have to play the main role in a military styling, try to break the look with a hoodie in a glowing colour.
A military pattern can be easily toned. Create a styling that focuses on a camo jacket, but in unique colours e.g. claret with red. The best complement to this look will be trousers, a T-shirt and a sweatshirt in a neutral colour, from white through all shades of blue to black.
Camo replacement – green
Surprisingly, you may create a military outfit with no use of the camo pattern. It’s worth to place a bet on the shades of green, e.g. trendy khaki. Military green is expressive and fits perfectly to other colours. Create a fancy look with black and brown or with eye-catching red and claret. Khaki should be matched with characteristic military cuts. Team it up with cargo trousers, bomber jackets and warm, comfy parka jackets. It fits to the most trendy cuts and designs like a longline bomber with a fancy lining. However, if you decide on such a jacket it must be the star among your styling. It’s a great outerwear that fits perfectly to classic jeans and a white printed T-shirt.
The military look can be easily introduced to a styling by wearing a military pilot’s jacket . The models with badges and a furry collar especially remind Tom Cruise from ‘Top Gun’. Moreover, you should complement such a jacket with dark trousers, a T-shirt and boots. It’s the perfect look!
Military details in casual style
Military style can also be associated with casual stylings. A green parka jacket matched with jeans and a jumper are already the classic that sticks to the military look. A duffle coat with wooden toggles fastening or double-breasted ones and epaulettes. Sounds like army? Every design and cut adds the character, style and chic to one’s look.
Military accessories
Don’t forget about accessories when creating a military look. A khaki backpack or a bag fits the trends perfectly. Shoes with a camo outsole, jewellery with camo inserts and a men’s camo watch are another decent ideas to complement such a look!
