Drew Barrymore showed off an on trend military jacket in this seasons khaki green colour, she teamed this with a pair of distressed jeans and uber high heels whilst promoting her new movie in London.

Lily Donaldson worked the off duty look and threw an oversized army shirt over a pair of tiny hotpants and a laid-back tee.  She finished the look with a statement hat and suede flats.

Alexa Chung went for a similar style and worked a faded pair of denim hotpants, heels teamed with ankle socks, a military style shirt and of course one of her much envied handbags.

Chanel Iman teamed an army jacket with one of this season’s hottest pieces, the maxi dress, whilst Kate Moss showcased the perfect festival fashion and went for a denim mini.

For an instant wardrobe refresh, smart-cut army jackets are this season’s must have fail safe wardrobe staple and one you should invest in now. Lightweight and weather-ready means they act as the perfect cover-up for the unpredictable weather we seem to be experiencing right now.  The military jacket will also add a toughened edge to an otherwise polished look.

The Alexander Wang way.

The Alexander Wang way.

When we think of sports clothing, images of tracksuits, tees and trainers come to mind, that is unless you are designing for this season’s catwalk shows. 

The main highlight of this trend and a must needed investment is the retro shoe boot, gone is the standard trainer only to be replaced by a revamped techno version of the original.  The shoe boot may look a little sporty in the fact it still has laces but it also has a heel.  Good news for those who refuse to wear flats but are still adamant on following the latest trends.

This season’s sports-style throws a little military action in the mix, breaking up the ensemble with a khaki edge.

This laid back and luxury look is set to big this season and all the high street shops will be stocking sport enthused garments.  The key rule in making your outfit stand out from the crowd is to accessorise.  When you opt for designer or highstreet, a bling belt or a statement neck piece can instantly add an edge to an outfit and will also make it individual to the wearer.

Pieces from the Alexander Wang collection appear both everlasting and classic so are therefore a good investment to both this seasons and next season’s wardrobe.  Despite looking effortless, each ensemble still oozed a statement edge.  Grey sports shirts were made fashionable chic with the addition of a laced up corset, ribbed sports socks became flirty by teaming them with wedged loafers or sandals adorned with zippers and the standard sports sac was completely revamped.

Garments were created in an array of fabrics including army, canvas, nylon and leather.  The good thing about this trend is that it not only looks effortlessly chic, it feels it too.
