Military clothing has long been a staple of women’s fashion.  Indeed, military inspired clothing have appeared year after year, season after season.  Whereas last year’s rage was the military jacket and big shoulders, Spring 2010 calls for much muted and feminine military clothes.

And by feminine, it means that military clothing for this season are much less obvious.

The color of military clothing for spring is navy and army green.  By all means, stay away from camouflage wear!!! Go for pieces that are made out of shearling.  Cuts now are more feminine and soft military clothing is what you are looking for.

For the most part, you could never go wrong with a matching top and bottom ensemble, or a military jacket on leather pants.  Military boots, preferably those with shearling embellishments, are also coming back.

There is actually two main looks for spring military wear: aviator and army.  The aviator look is more structured, and nothing much can be done with it.  It’s all about a brown aviator jacket with slim feminine cuts.  If you want to have the freedom to wear anything that you want and still be in vogue, then go for the army look this spring.

The Dog Tag

Who can think about military wear and not think about dog tags?  Well, the dog tag is still very much alive this year, as Giselle Bundchen shows:
