My Military Jacket With A Nautical Twist

Myย Military Jacket With A Nautical Twist

Last week I wrote about one of spring 2015โ€™s biggest trends, military style. In that story, Iย showed you some of my favorite spring fashion runway military looks and some pieces I liked that are already in stores and I can’t wait to add some of them to my wardrobe for this spring.

So for this weeks outfit I really wanted to do a military inspired look, but because I haven’t purchased any new military inspired pieces yet, I decided to pull this Zara military jacket out of my closet that I have had for a couple of years. This is another one of my favorite jackets that I have worn many times throughout the years. In order to update it a little bit, I decided to change the buttons to some brighter gold metal ones. It used to have antique brass buttons, which looked really good too, but I realized changing them would give the jacket a fresh new look. I think it worked and I really like it better now.

I thought my new Zara skinny-waxed white jeans that I bought recently for spring/summer would look perfect for this outfit. The jacket is black and has white piping all around the front, so combining it with white made perfect sense. Of course with a black and white palette you can add so many different types of tops, from solid bright colors to prints. I chose to go with my black and white stripe tee shirt and to add some color, I decided to wear my red sandals and finished off the look with our Jacket Society Chanel inspired necklace.

I thought that this necklace was perfect for this look, since it is black, white and gold. ย Initially my intention behind this outfit was to do a military inspired look, but by the time I was finished with it, I noticed it also has a nautical look, hence the title My Military Jacket With A Nautical Twist.

What do you think of my military/nautical look?

    Nora I love this look. Utter classic perfection. I was recently gifted a white blazer from Chadwicks. I’m going to follow your wisdom and change out the buttons to more favorable ones.

    Every detail of your outfit is perfect. Your nautical jacket is stunning, so glamorous and is the perfect pairing with the white denim. The striped top brings them both together. You look amazing.
