Everybody is wearing MODERN MILITARY!

Khaki green, military-inspired pieces are firmly back on trend. Take your sartorial lead from these A-listers who offer a masterclass in styling re-worked old faithfuls into an edgy transitional wardrobe. For an instant wardrobe update, clean-cut army jackets are the go-with-everything piece to invest in now. Lightweight and weather-ready, they’re the perfect cover-up for unpredictable weather and add a toughened edge to the most polished looks.

Everybody is wearing RIPPED JEANS!

Distressed denim has returned to the A-list’s fashion radar and this summer it’s about wearing loose ripped jeans with fuss-free vests and chic blouses. Perfect for adding a rebellious edge to off-duty dressing, they also lend rock-chick cool to formal occasions – just like Lou Doillon’s effortless style during Paris Couture Week. As the stars prove, they look just as great dressed up with heels as they do dressed down with Converse and pumps. So, invest in a pair for the perfect “I just threw this on” vibe, or get cutting for a DIY version.
