How to do casual military chic!


Anyone can get dressed up and be glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are most intriguing". - Alexander Wang


Knowing how to take a basic outfit look chic is an important skill in your quest for personal style. Through accessories and seasonal pieces, you can switch from drab to fab. This is why Amanda and i have based our second 'Style Me High Tea' workshop around creating everyday casual chic looks from our great retailer in the centre. 
We also explored the current military chic trend, which is a great way to do casual, but keeping on the fashion pulse this season. Sure, we can all find a WOW dress with a WOW price tag to look a million bucks, but a woman with style knows how to make her comfort & casual looks have that wow factor without the price tag. Like Wang said, it's what you wear on your days off that is most intriguing and I couldn't agree with him more.

I will be posting the second instalment of looks tomorrow, but today's post focuses on our military chic trend. Military chic is a great trend for all ages, I am not just saying that, so please as always don't be scared to give it a shot! Younger ladies will enjoy experimenting with army printed pants and metallics for a casual look that stands out from the crowd. While this trend sports a youthful street vibe, it can be toned down to work for the individual. You can get the military chic look by wearing a neutral Karachi trench or parker with your favourite jeans and white T-shirt. It's about effortless casual dressing, while rocking it with a bit of attitude. While shopping, look out for everyday pieces with military style detail, such as black leggings with leather panelling and boots with statement zippers.
