Military Influence

Runway: Army jackets, sharp-cut military jackets and olive green were all over the runway for Spring 2010.

Reality: Here's a trend that works for so many women, and it's as easy to buy into as adding a pair of soft utility pants or khaki camp shirt into your wardrobe. The key to keeping military looks feminine is to choose fitted shirts and jackets: it gives it more of a boy-meets-girl look than a sloppy army surplus look. Although camo is around, it's really the khakis and olives that look freshest. I happen to be a huge fan of olive, but if it's not a color you can wear keep it on the bottom or just go with khaki.
