The Orange Carpet: Attention! ... Army Inspiration

The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best of campus style (die, hoodies, die!).

2010 is all about military. Military inspired jackets are strutting down the runway, and combat boots line the shelves of every department store. It seems our fine soldiers have inspired fashion house
s. Even if your not audacious enough to rock a pair of combat boots you can still get into the spirit by incorporating hunter green, camel, or brown hues into any outfit.

Every girl wants to look like she just rolled out of bed and threw the perfect ensemble together, even if that isn’t always the case. Sophomore interior design major, Hayley Grossman, shut it down with her army inspired look. Her style is casual cool, pairing a loose fitting tank with black leggings, a hunter green ‘combat’ jacket
and the ever-essential brown boots. Hayley’s Diane Von Furstenberg military jacket works because its fitted in the back and the pockets in the front add a feminine touch. Leave it to Furstenberg to make a killer military jacket that could make any girl look incredibly laid back and chic. Grossman paired her brown Michael Kors boots with a pair of simple black jean leggings or (jeggings). I’m sure you’re thinking brown and black together, really? Well, my friends, that is just not true. The black jeans give this ensemble more of a rocker flare. The most essential element to any look is always the bag. Her camel fold over bag completes the look and effortlessly ties into her military inspired look. When looking for your ‘it’ bag go for something timeless and neutral that can work for day and night. Why pick a bag that’s hot right now when you can get something that can work forever (you might even feel less guilty buying that more expensive bag).

The next time you dress for the day think effortless cool. When dressing yourself, you’re choosing how you want people to think of you. So rock what you want because you’ll feel more comfortable and your style will be more fluid.
