Spring 2010 fashion trends: Military
Alexander Wang incorporated the look heavily into his spring 2010 collection, showing khaki vests, blazers and leather trousers on the runway in a relaxed and slouchy silhouette. At Chloé (pictured), the influence was lighter and the lines cleaner, seen in buttoned-up military-style shirts tucked neatly into khaki pants and tan sleeveless shirts nipped in with thin brown belts.

Army-style jackets are being done in lighter weights, but with stronger patterns, such as an all-over camo print version from J. Crew. And if it’s not the print, then it’s the embellishments that add the military feel. Gold sequin appliqués, embroidery and brass button and zipper details are all over button-down shirts, cardigans, even bags.
