How to Wear Army Green Without Looking Like You've Enlisted

sempie Haziran 18, 2021

Army green is the new black and there are endless ways to style this not so new and very versatile hue that has been enjoying a moment in fashion and making waves with bloggers. It's all over main street and splattered all over the pages of fashion magazines as the new way to achieve that tough yet chic look.
Move over camo!

Tbh, this trend is not a total new comer to the fashion scene. Remember 'cargo pants' from way back that mostly came in khaki and green? Wear your green as separates in the form of a jacket over a simple sweater to give it a touch of masculinity, or as a skirt with a chunky sweater, a scarf and a jacket. Pair your army green sweater with black leggings and a classic white long line shirt for a clean yet edgy look.

Any which way you lean, remember that trends are tricky sometimes, and at the end of the day we wear what we are most comfortable with. A peplum waist pants and a matching knit crop sweater in my case today. Breaking the green with pops of color from the bag and black ankle boots.

Most gals have a pants collection made up of blacks, tans and whites. But hey how many black pants can a gal own? Little wonder everyone is excited to add this versatile color to the mix.

You? Added a few pieces to your arsenal?

Like this trendy pair of pants I’m showing today? Styled with matching cozy ribbed crop sweater. I’m linking a few more pieces like this appliquéd drawstring jacket and this bell sleeves lace up sweater? How about this jumpsuit and this other jumpsuit. I own a pair of this compression leggings and love it so! What are your favorite combat green (like I call it sometimes) piece?

Did you watch the inauguration?

I did watch the live stream with my students and it was really interesting to hear their views. The oldest of them are six so it was a first for them. When Barrack and Michelle Obama boarded that helicopter, most of them raised their hands and waved to them. I thought that was priceless...

...and after the fact, I saw an email from my principal that said not to watch in order to reduce chances of the students getting upset since most of our clients are immigrants.

Oops!
