TOM-MY BOY

BOMBER & DUFFEL: TOMMY HILFIGER | BODYSUIT: VICTORIA'S SECRET | TROUSERS: ZARA | SHOES: CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

Tom-boyish looks are taking over just as it has become a trend to wear men's oversized clothing. Gigi Hadid's Tommy Hilfiger SS17 collabo put the classic designer on the forefront of fashion this year.

Any time you are doing a unisex, tom-boyish look, you want to add a touch of femininity. I paired my olive Tommy Hilfiger tailored bomber jacket with navy lining with my navy blue lace lingerie from Victoria's Secret, dark navy Zara silk trousers, Louboutin lingerie lace shoes, & Tommy Hilfiger mini travel duffle. Wearing your undergarments on the outside is also a fast forming trend that I am getting accustomed to.

Silky bombers never go out of style & the iconic military & labour piece adaptions are evolving. Bombers are a lightweight, versatile staple in the utilitarian wardrobe. Varsity logos & patches give jackets some uniqueness & layering a masculine bomber gives a trimmer appearance for the flattening wide shoulder touch a men's jacket brings.

Oversized jackets & wide leg pants together can ultimately go wrong but the extremely naked undergarment slims down the entire look to let my inner tom boy shine through with some injected delicate features.

Olive green represents the U.S army field uniforms & navy blue, the British Royal Navy. Someone hand me a dirty martini, 3 parts vodka, 1 part dry vermouth, lemon peel & extra olives to suit my sea of hues.

CAMO-COMEBACK

CAMO PARKA: GHOST LABEL | SUEDE BOMBER: UNKNOWN | TOP: VINTAGE | SKIRT: RIVER ISLAND | BOOTIES: SIMMI SHOES | SUNGLASSES: RAY BAN

Camo made a hot comeback this year in bold camouflage threads showcasing different colours, straying away from the traditional green on green, green on brown print all over the runways. Kylie just added camo caps to her online shop, selling camo everything from sweatpants to bikinis & even lighters. The print is officially back. 

The ultimate key to the camouflage print is to keep it minimal & wear it in moderation. Choose one army printed piece & layer it to give it that utilitarian edge. Feminine accessories give camo a touch of fragility from the strengthening power this fabric brings representing clever protection in military tactical history. Transformed to fashion today, this look is far from blending in & stand out pieces of army print are in.  

Camo print is part of the military trend & it is officially a fashion-must-have after Lutz Huelle 2017 Spring Ready-To-Wear showcased a range of colour lined camo print jackets. 

The interest in menswear is at an all time high for trendy women everywhere with 'oversize' infiltrating all jackets. I chose to pair my oversized water-repellent, wind-resistant camouflage Ghost Label ASSASSIN Parka with a vintage buckle turtle-tank with cut outs & nickel grommet features that compliment the grommets on my Simmi Booties, a suede fern green bomber, & my River Island khaki snakeskin split-front pencil skirt. The tailored skirt adds that feminine edge I was talking about. Altuzurra 2017 RTW made the snake skin/python fabric a must-have this season, pairing the textured fabric with different prints as I have done here. Where did I find this military base to shoot; well that's my best kept secret, let's just say I had to camouflage with my backdrop to get in!

The unique colours of this red & green army makes it a killer statement outerwear piece for that tom-boyish trend.

"This bold red infusion into the classical camo print conjures up images of a victor coming back from war covered in the blood of his enemies." Ghost Label

This look is trends on trends on trends. Mesh socks with military ankle booties, layering a bomber jacket with a hoodie, animal prints, unique cut-outs, & camouflage.

BOOT CAMP

DRESS: NO LONGER AVAILABLE | BOOTS: CARTE BLANCHE | BAG: CHANEL | SUNGLASSES: CHANEL 

Olive is the new neutral in fall trends. It's showing up on every runway with military & utilitarian accents.

Army green is an interesting tone & goes well with nudes. I paired my caged nude thigh high boots with a simple dress. The soft rouching and asymmetrical cut adds detail without making too much of a statement and distracting from the eye-catching boots. I often argue with my sister about the shade of this calfskin Chanel bag. I say it's brown, she calls it green. I don't know who is color blind! :P

But it almost looks like a brownish-green. I have a feeling this olive inspired shade is here to stay.
