Military Chic: Khaki Jacket & Colored Jeans

Along with denim & leather jacket, military inspired outerwear has become a fashion staple we rely on year round: pair a classic trench coat with straight leg pants and structured tote for a sleek, sophisticated office look; team a safari jacket with a flowy maxi dress for a romantic yet edgy look.

Or like Olivia Palermo did here: offset a bright yellow skinny jeans and loafer combo with a stone coat; balance flirty polka dot skinny jeans and sexy pointy-toe pump with a cool khaki biker jacket.

Another great tip we can learn from her here: Match your shoes to your pants to create a long, slim line.

军装风格的外套已经和牛仔外套机车皮衣一起成为了我们衣橱里必不可少的时尚单品。经典的卡其风衣搭配上A字裙或直桶西装裤,既适合办公室穿着又可以出席派对。军绿色的休闲外套搭配上皮短裤或飘逸的长裙就是周末休闲的出彩装扮了。

或者像Olivia Palermo这里示范的一样:用中性色又酷帅的外套平衡高彩度印花裤装。使鞋子和裤子的颜色保持一致可以拉长腿部线条,使下半身看起来笔直又修长。

Work-wear in origin, denim has been a fashion symbol for decades. Classic staples worth notice and repeat (as you can see here, here & here). Today let’s share two more stylish looks, see how the utilitarian and versatility make denim a non-fail choice whether you want to team with avant-garde pieces for a fashionable look or wear with other basics for an understated outfit.

The printed skinny jeans that Anja Rubik wearing (below) combines several hot trends this season: black and white stripes, checks and botanical pattern. If you are not ready to wear a strong piece like that, this pair from Theyskens’ Theory is a great alternative: with the psychedelic print which is another trend now, it’s equally stylish, easier to pull off and wallet-friendly!

For loud bottoms like that, casual, easy denim shirt or jacket is great choice to pair with. Add a simple basic pump, you are ready to go. For chilly days, top it off with a black coat like this one, the faux leather sleeves echo the overall edgy chic vibe. This grey Loeffler Randall bag is my current favorite, it will instantly add an understated urban chic touch.

For a laid-back, shabby chic look, distressed denim pieces are ideal. They are great to toughen up delicate pieces like a chiffon floral top, add edginess to other basics as Alexa Chung did below. When the color palette is simple, I like to add details, like the matte gold hardware on this “school girl” bag and the subtle glitter heel on this affordable booties. A delicate bar necklace adds a hint of sophistication.
