3 Ways To Wear: The Military Jacket

Having influenced fashion since the ‘60s, the military jacket marched back onto the runways for SS17, with the likes of Gucci, Givenchy and Burberry championing the trophy trend of the moment. The good news, however, is that these solider-like styles work just as well in our wardrobes as they do on the fashion circuit, thanks to their expert fusion of classic and contemporary design. Whether styled for the office or laid-back weekends, we show you how to wear the military jacket for the season ahead.

At The Weekend

Teela Pin Up Jean, £49 | Myla Military Jacket, £89 | Ada Knitted Cami Top, £29 | Alanis Slip On Trainer, £39

The military jacket might, at first glance, may not be the obvious choice for an off-duty look. However, this statement-making piece can be easily dressed down for weekend wardrobes, adding an unexpected yet completely stylish edge to classic cami-and-jean combos. For a further dose of casual-cool, add a pair of slip-on trainers that’ll take you effortlessly from brunch to strolls in the sunshine.

In The Office

Darcy Military Chino, £49 |  Myla Military Jacket, £89 | Rosanna Lace Top, £39 | Gwen Tassel Loafer, £45

The military jacket translates well into office dress codes, lending a fashion-forward feel to weekday outfit choices. Designed for a slim fit and cropped at the waist, this stand-out style is both flattering and offers a modern alternative to a blazer, allowing it to slot seamlessly into your nine-to-five rotation.   The key here is to keep the rest of your look simple – a pared-back blouse, tapered trousers and a pair of loafers will allow the jacket to do all the talking.

Special Invite

Corin Cold Shoulder Jumpsuit, £69  |  Myla Military Jacket, £89 | Whitney Box Clutch, £35 | Whitney Strappy Sandal, £69

From its decorative gold rope trims and beadwork to its crisp shoulders, the military jacket promises to make an impact at a whole host of special events. A black wide-leg jumpsuit provides the perfect base for this look, while a structured clutch bag and strappy heels in a tonal metallic palette allows the embellishments on the jacket to shine through.
