Saks Fall Trend Report: Military Moment
Sponsor Content Created With Saks
Some trends are mere fads, blips on the fashion radar, while others have more of an enduring narrative and are always circling back in style. Military-inspired pieces fall squarely in the latter category, and this season the trend is back in full force. On the runway, the biggest military story was clearly about the coat. Within that category your options abound, whether your preferences align with capes as seen at Mulberry, a duster like at Tibi, or a cropped number à la Burberry. Street style outfits offer even more inspiration. Test out a subtle reference with a cargo-pocket shirt or try a more advanced tactic with a boiler suit.
This jacket may just be the perfect cold-weather piece. Wear it on its own for the transition months, and layer it under a heavy coat come freezing temperatures.
We love this feminine take on the military trend.
