Call Of Duty

Times may be tough, but this girl is tougher. Military forces join together to enlist all of the season's "utility chic" trends. Fashion outfits in khaki, brown, green, and olive commands the season's attention with patterns reflecting the military uniform.

Wonder why fashion loves going regimental? Fashion is like a wave trying to catch something on the sand. It keeps evolving, morphing, and shifting constantly into something new; every time.

Trench coats, berets, jackets, and camouflage have enjoyed seasons of popularity for military inspired fashion.
