In the latest Lou Dalton Fall/Winter 2012 collection, which was recently presented at London Fashion Week, models walked down the catwalk wearing suited separates, casual wear and outerwear paired with military boots and hats to unify the ranges of diverse fashions with a vintage army theme.
There was much to get excited about in this offering from the designer; light-blue wool suits, a black and white textured and patterned turtleneck and some gorgeous overcoats were among my favorites from the line. Olive green and khaki-colored pieces provided for some more of the more obviously militant-inspired garments, while others in the collection were a little more subtle. So if you're looking to add some sophistication to your Sargent style this fall, then check out this lineup from the Lou Dalton Fall/Winter 2012 collection.
