Supergroup : How To Style Your Military Jacket This Season

If you've been eyeing up amilitary jacket, here's everything you need to know when it comes to adding this style to your wardrobe.

How to wear a military jacket - What to look for

Be seen in camo print

Camo is the obvious choice and you'll spot plenty of styles featuring this print this season. We've given camo an upgrade - mixing the tough military print with soft sherpa lining, which works whether you're exploring a new city with your partner or walking round the corner to pre drinks before a night out.

Go green in khaki

Khaki is the obvious choice - with the green shade dominatingmilitary jacketlooks. However, black, navy and grey are all strong contenders if you're looking to mix things up. These natural colours mean you can throw your military jacket on with whatever you've got.

Patches and pinsfor days

Military jackets usually feature some strong embellishment - reminding us of formal military wear and ticking all the style boxes. Strong buttons and stand out thread colours are easy to find and instantly give a basic military jacket an upgrade.

Patches and pins are also a strong look when adopting military style. Look for cool logos, numbers and bold reds and blues to contrast against the darker colour of a military jacket. You can either pick up a jacket with these already in place orgrab some online to stitch/iron on yourself for a personalised look.

Strong and structured material

Military jackets work best when they're made with stiffer, structured materials - so look for this when you're on the hunt for yours. Denim or stiff cotton are the best options. Choose a material that can withstand the elements but hold its shape. Keep thing warm at all times with a thick lining - we're thinking fleece or sherpa.
