Spotting all the trends

Attention...Salute!


Is it just me or is Michael Jackson's jacket making a come back!?! It has been showing up in several new lines for spring. These military style jackets have made appearances in such collections as Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors. There seems to be a growing buzz for the return of this oldie-but-goodie. In fact, Teen Vogue dedicated an entire six page spread to the growing military influence entitled "Enchanted Solder." The line screams Balmain and gives a 80s rocker chic vibe. Some designers are making it edgier than others with darker color ranges. To soften the blow, stylists at Teen Vogue have suggested mixing floral prints with a military inspired vest or jacket. I think this is a really cute idea! It adds a new feminine twist on what has been interpreted as a very harsh and robust look. I say as long as you break it up with another type of print, salute away!
