Be Inspired

Look #1

Marney Military Jacket, £69 | Clara Linen Stripe Jumpsuit, £59 | Katy Sporty Sandals, £29

Classic, cool and endlessly versatile, denim jackets are a staple of spring and summer. This season, give it a fresh new spin with this military-inspired number, featuring a cropped, nipped-in silhouette with contrast trims and embossed buttons. Throw it on over a striped linen jumpsuit with flattering wide legs and a pair of metallic sandals for the perfect holiday look.

Look #2

Darcy Military Chino Trousers, £49 | Lois Stripe Shirt, £39 | Lorelle Loafers, £45

The trick to mastering military styling in the office? Keep it simple. Designed in classic, uniform navy, these tapered trousers feature single gold stripes on the outer seams, lending a modern, refined edge to the trend. Wear it with a simple white shirt with rolled-up sleeves and a front-tucked hem, and finish the look with smart loafers.

Look #3

Milana Military Jacket, £89 | Lakeesha Blouse, £49 | Delilah Denim Shorts, £29 | Janelle Embellished Sandals, £45

Military jackets don’t have to feel OTT. The cool, khaki palette of this utilitarian-style jacket offsets its decorative rope trims, beadwork and gold-tone metal buttons, creating a more relaxed aesthetic. Keep it in full focus with a crisp white top and blue denim cut-offs, giving a subtle nod to its military adornments with a pair of wrap-around embellished sandals.
