My Obsession with Military Jackets and Coats

I have a total obsession with military styled jackets and coats.

I think they are incredibly stylish and cool looking on men and

on women. The above is vintage leather military styled jacket.

It's gorgeous isn't it?

Recently in Instyle Magazine, there was a photo shoot for

the Twilight cast and I was totally drooling over the boots

and the jacket on Kristen Stewart in the bottom left hand

corner.

The jacket she is wearing is actually

by Wunderkind.

I also shop on Ebay and there proves to

be quite a variety of military styled

jackets.

Here's an interesting short but assymetrical one.

Here's a very cool white one, you don't often

see military styled jackets and coats in white.

The left is by St. John's and the left jacket is by Bebe.

Forever 21 $42.80 and $32.80 respectively.

And one of my favorite stores of all kind is Forever 21 with their ultra

inexpensive clothing. Inexpensive, but fashionable and made decently.

I used to shop at Charlotte Russe until the quality of their clothing went

way down. I'm not buying something I can only wear twice before it

falls apart no matter how cheap it is. The coats above are made of

very warm blend of wool and fleece.

Forever 21 - The Eva Coat for $35.80.

Forever 21 to the left for $49.80 and to the left found on Ebay.

Forever 21 $39.80.

Lately plaid and tartan has been all the rage and

the left one is a fun military styled plaid jacket.

How about a throw back from the 80s when assymetry was really in

for blazers? Forever 21 $32.80.

Here's a mariner's version of that military assymetric blazer.

I don't think military styled jackets ever go out of style.

The blazer on the left is from Marc Jacobs. The left is

a more modern version.

Here's Kate Moss wearing and interesting and eclectic short coat

from Top Shop in UK. To the right is a corduroy coat.

The left coat is actually for a man, but if cut slim for a woman's body -

there is no reason why the same design wouldn't work for a woman.

I really like the collar on this coat.

Different ways you can wear military

styled coats. They really all look good.

This coat is found on Ebay.

I recently bought this one from Forever 21 - it reminds me of a

somewhat futuristic admiral's coat. Not sure why I'm so drawn

to assyemtry. $49.80.

Found this vintage one on Ebay and thought

the embellishments were so fun.

Miss Alice Temperly of London designed this dress

that really looks like an admiral's coat. Love the thigh

high boots.

I think the cuffs and belt on the coat make it look more military in style.

It's definitely a more toned down and feminine version.

Men look great in military style jackets. Very smart!

played 3 seasons of the new Dr. Who.)

Anyways, I hope you've enjoyed the post although it's

a bit of a deviation from design and decor. I have many

many obsessions and fashion is another one.

Have a great weekend!
