Some of you may be hesitant to go out in public looking like a solider going out to war; you may be asking “How do I make my military style a little more girly?”

Easy fix. Pair khakis with a colorful neck scarf. Want to wear bright red lips one day? Wear a navy beret.

Not such a big fan of the full out combat boots and brass buttoned trench coat? Navy pants with black booties, hair in a sleek bun and a white button up shirt shows this trend beautifully.

Want to amp up the military trend? A black bandeau, longer black trench coat, green belt on military green pants with Dr. Maarten boots and a black hat wont over-do it but will make you still look chic.


For makeup, all natural works perfectly so that your makeup and wonderful outfit do not battle each other for attention. A nude, clear, or baby pink lip gloss finishes this outfit making it look perfect.

Get this look by:

1.  Applying a light foundation all over the face.

2. Using a wider shadow brush, pat on a creme colored matte shadow from the base of the lid to the brow.

3. Use a fluffy shadow brush to smudge in a taupe/brown matte shadow under the outer corners of the eyes blending downward under the lash line.

4. Fill in your brows with a matching brown shadow by lightly brushing the color in an angled brush.

5. Line your outer top lash line with a brown eyeliner and the bottom inner rim with a creme colored liner.

6. Using a wide blusher brush apply a peach toned blush/bronzer slightly under your cheekbones.

7. Line your lips with a tabasco colored liner and fill in the lip area.  Top with a similar matte lipstick.

Complete the look by brushing your face with an oil control powder.
