Military fashions are super hot for spring and the Vogue US March 2010 issue is taking it pretty literally. The designer looks include pieces from Burberry, Prorsum and Chloe and feature the models in a variety of neutral shades.
Army green trenches, beige cargo pants and playful wrap dresses are standout pieces from this military-inspired shoot and my favorite is definitely the green coat with intricate sleeve detailing and shoulder fringe.
Implications - These styles tend to be on the dressier side as they look very professional, but they definitely work in casual settings as well. You'll look posh and polished in cadet couture.
