New neutral shades
They were everywhere in spring and neutral tones are set to continue in women’s fashion for summer. Perfect to wear with the military trend, neutral shades have created a new style of military fashion with a slightly feminine twist with these cool colors for a contemporary finish.

It’s a much softer look this summer, making use of pale pinks, peaches and ivories, while the soft faded floral prints that have been such a hit also work ever so well with military fashion for a look that’s completely up to date. A floral summer dress in a lightweight fabric will look edgy with complementing military fashion like a light utility jacket, but always make sure you keep the shapes soft and slouchy. If you love everything oh so now, forget the loose combats and wear harem pants, skinny combats or peg leg trousers with heels for a real glamour puss appeal.

Camouflage prints aren’t really all that anymore so avoid them and stick to flattering sandy shades that also look really fresh. Your choice of footwear is also important in the military fashion, this season’s hottest gladiator sandals trend is ever so military, wear flat ones for casual wear or high heel gladiator sandals to glam it up.

Sharp tailored shapes
If you’re not crazy over the floral girly look that seems to be everywhere right now, you’ll love the other side of the military fashion trend that is all about structured and tailored styles of clothes, which is centred on this season’s must have military jacket.

A short, fitted jacket that features a structured shoulder, usually with shoulder pads or apaulettes, a fitted middle, brass effect buttons down a double-breasted front and frogging detail. The type of military jacket to buy depends on your shape; if you are slim with a small bust then a high neck style with a mandarin collar will suit you best, but if you have a fuller bust then a v-neck will be much more flattering.

Military jackets are so easy to wear with lots clothes; black skinny jeans and wet look leggings are perfect, and mix it up a little with tough accessories like a studded belt or bag. You should opt for bold colors with military, think black, red and cobalt blue. Some killer heels and red lipstick will certainly complete your look.
