Do You Own a Military Jacket?
Late last year I reported on the return of military jackets. Since then, everyone from Beyonce Knowles to Erin O'Connor has worked the trend and I am particularly loving it over pretty Summer dresses. Have you joined in?
Trend Alert: Military
Trend cycles are getting shorter and shorter but the military trend seems to have come back round quicker than ever. Just a few years ago (in 2005) we were all wearing cropped military jackets as seen on the catwalk at Balenciaga, and now the style returns. For Autumn 2008 military detailing appeared on the catwalk at Alexander McQueen, Temperley London and Colette Dinnigan.
Which Heritage Trend Do You Prefer?
Autumn/Winter sees the return of classic British looks, such as tartan, at D&G and House of Holland, military styling at Ralph Lauren and Alexander McQueen and country house chic at Daks and Carolina Herrera.
Think silk head scarves, tweed and long, leather gloves, as in Paul Smith's country house-inspired collection.
But which of these Heritage trends are you most excited about?
