“Let's speak about military and army style. The camouflage is the print that identifies this trend. When (a) woman wants to feel self-confident, strong and independent, she covers herself in those strong and masculine staples. It's a very hot trend nowadays, I would even say it's already timeless look that can be mixed and matched with other styles. I think 50% of well-known brands and designers have used military touches in their collections. You can either see those army touches in details, either feel that special inspiration which makes every jacket, bottom look strong. Really, this style makes every man or woman look stronger and confident. Speaking of catwalk, then I recommend you to take a look at some ready to wear collections and see those special details by yourself. If you are an addicted person and you want yourself as much as you can wear, then you should go totally military.”
