Can you believe I've never owned a military green jacket up until now? Shame on me. It's so easy to wear and more versatile than you'd think. I'm listing 5 ways you can wear your Military Green Jacket.

1. Casual

Pair your military green jacket with jeans, a white tee and sneakers and you will never go wrong.

2. Add a feminine twist

A military jacket is inherently bold, powerful and masculine-inspired, so style yours with feminine pieces like a pleated skirt, a delicate lace top or some dainty heels to add some contrast and opposing styles to create interest.

3. Add pops of colour

Military green qualifies as a neutral to me, so add a bright scarf or a bold bag to mix it up.

4. Edge it up

This is how I like it. Pair your army jacket with some edgy leather moto pants and some killer ankle booties, and you've got yourself an LA-girl rocker look.

5. Give it the slip

...Dress, that is. In a previous blog post, I talked about how one of my most versatile pieces is the slip dress (you can check that out here). You can dress these up, or dress them down and you'll always look put together. I'm loving the idea of mixing a black silk slip dress + the military jacket to mix delicate feminine textures with more durable, masculine pieces.
