Sartorial Ideas for Weekend Mischief
Camou, epaulettes, army green, and khaki – the military fashion trend marches on (and into the next season).
Channel the camou. We love Fabrix’s new camou carry-all (it made its debut at BLUEPRINT 2013)– it’s hardy and functional, but defo knows how to make a statement. Jack Spade’s on the camou bandwagon too with this nifty cardholder (SGD240 at Rockstar by Soon Lee), and if you think camou is boring, Alexander McQueen (USD390) is here to make you think again. Neon, camou, and knit? We didn’t see that one coming.
Epaulettes can go military overkill really fast, so watch how you style this one. Take a leaf from this jersey Lulubare number (SGD177), which offsets the toughness of the metal epaulettes with a pop of neon in a feminine cut. The season’s 90s grunge trend is perfect for playing up the tough I-don’t-give-a-s%*t vibe that epaulettes embody; we particularly like the versatility of this Band of Outsiders Army Gilet (USD995).
If work is in the way of your sartorial sass, it’s time to show up your office uniform. Opt for a silk shirt with military details like button epaulettes (£81), or go one (daring) step further and flaunt those arms! We’re digging The Only Son’s silk shirt with slit sleeves – it’s a modern take on the classic silk shirt. We foresee this one hanging in our closet for years to come.
March to the beat of the army boys with a more wearable (and far less clunky) POINTER boot (SGD210 at Rockstar by Soon Lee). And if the military trend really isn’t your thing, hon, army green never hurt anyone. Especially when paired with leather. Get your arm candy smarts with the one and only Herschel – for only $59 too!
