Military details always show up every season. This season, many designers showed military based looks with a classic lady-like twist. Feminine silhouettes with tons of texture, color blocking, cinched waist, floral patterns, leather mix and intricate embroidery were seen on the runway, which induced a fresh cool twist to this good old theme. Pairing military colors, details or prints with black leather, deep red or gold touches, mixed textures, Asian or baroque based motifs and heavy lady-like details such as cinched waist can take the military trend to a whole new level. Classic red or oxblood lips and well fitted feminine silhouettes can add a sophisticated chic quality to the casually strong military theme.

The theme can also be applied to makeup. Do you love military colors, especially green combined with classic red or oxblood lips? Do you like this trend paired with embellishments, tribal patterns or clean feminine silhouettes? Do you like pairing military based pieces with leather? How would you wear this trend?
