100 Combat-Ready Fashion Shoots

From Seductive Soldier Editorials to Androgynous Military Models

— October 17, 2011 — Fashion
Military-inspired caps, double-breasted jackets and camouflage prints are making a huge comeback in the fashion world, with combat-ready fashion shoots dominating magazines worldwide. From urban streetwear to haute couture runway shows, contemporary takes on retro soldier jackets are all the rage, and will definitely turn heads when you're out on the town, in all the best ways.

Proving that militant fashion isn't just for the boys, combat-ready fashion shoots featuring supermodels like Marcelina Sowa and Barbara Palvin have blown up this year. As androgynous looks continue to grow in popularity, soldier-inspired styles are a great way to bend the gender lines and have a little fun while looking fabulously fashion-forward.

If, like me, you just can't seem to get enough of combat-ready fashion shoots, check out this daring and dangerous slideshow for all the hottest military-inspired looks!
