Celebrity Style Trend for Fall: Military Chic

Celebrities Have Fallen Head-Over-Boots for This Fall Trend

ShawnTe Pierce
Yahoo Shine's celebrity style outlet, The Thread, picked the brains of celebrity stylists Rachel Zoe and Philip Bloch to find out what is hottest trend in celebrity fashion. Their answer was military. Discover how to incorporate this hot celebrity fashion trend into your wardrobe with three pieces that each cost under $100.00.

Long Military Jacket at Roaman's and OneStopPlus.com

Dressing military chic does not mean you need to put on fatigues or stick strictly to olive, forest green or hunter green. In fact, you can wear military-inspired fashion and still look feminine, as is the case with the Long Military Jacket sold at Roaman's and OneStopPlus.com. Regularly priced from $89.99 to $99.99 this military jacket features:

- Mandarin collar

- Double row of buttons

- Princess seams for shaping

- Pleated bottom

- Front zipper closure

Sizes range from 12W to 32W and come in black, ruby, dark olive plaid, charcoal stripe and navy plaid.

Best Style Matches: tank top, stretch or skinny jeans and scrunch, high-heeled boots

Ankle-Zip Skinny Cargos at Old Navy

Cargo pants are recognized as a military-style garment. However, cargos are making a fashion statement this fall with slim fitting styles. The Ankle-Zip Skinny Cargos from Old Navy fits sizes 0 to 20, comes in Forest Floor (olive green) and Taupe Hat (dark taupe/pewter) and costs $34.50.

Best Style Matches
: Cowl-neck pullover sweater or metallic tee and ankle boots.

Envy Women's Beat Military Inspired Lace-Up Boot at Kmart

Combat/military boots are comfortable to wear and are a hot trend thanks to Rihanna. Rihanna has been photographed wearing her military boots both on- and offstage. Now you can take a page from Rihanna's fashion book with the Envy Women's Beat Military Inspired Lace-Up Boot in black. Regularly priced at $27.99 this boot features:

- One-inch stacked heel

- Zipper closure

- Military-inspired lace-up front

Best Style Matches: Boyfriend shirt or boyfriend shirtdress and leggings.

These three military chic style options will be an easy integration into your fall wardrobe. They also work well with the masculine dress trend for the fall 2010 season. The three items presented here all cost under $100.00 at regular retail price so your bank account won't scream. If $100.00 is too steep for you look towards military inspired shirts, pants and boots. Military inspired jackets and coats tend to be more expensive, but they can be worthwhile investment. So shop around and find the military chic item that best fits your budget.

    Thank you Kimberly! A follower gave me that idea when she complained that she had a hard time matching other garments with the trends she reads about in fashion articles and magazines. I'm glad it helps others gain some idea to start off with. But it is all about an individual's personal style.

    I like the way you also suggest things that go with the fashions--like a recipe for a complete outfit.
