Style Heroes: Military Boots

Attennn-tion! If you’re setting your sights on the new season, it’s time to toughen up your look.

It’s no secret that fashion trends tend to recycle themselves, and the nineties have been make their presence known in the twenty-teens for the last few seasons. And for the Autumn/Winter 16 tour, a resurgence of military style is set to be your new uniform.

Say what you like about soldiers, they know just how to look sharp. The military influence may not be new, but it’s moved on from a fashion fad to being a classic style and will create a pulled-together air of authority that no other trend can touch.

On the catwalks, khaki army coats abounded at Prada, Miu Miu, TopShop Unique and Burberry, while at Astrid Anderson and Sean Suen minimalist jumpsuits in drab military hues paraded.

Our favourite combination of fashion and function, ultra-utilitarian fashion is perfect for the transcending seasons. The most modern incarnation has a fluid, feminine spin, with delicate dresses and silky-yet-smart trousers in khaki hues keeping you cool now, and joining forces with shearling jackets when the temperatures dive.

For your casual kicks, heavy-toed pairs that look like they’ve seen combat will add an authentic, grungy edge to your distressed denim and camo-print parka. If you’re shipping out to the office, opt for a patent pair that has been polished to army standards. You can even style a pair with heels for an evening; part of the military trend’s charm is that just a hint of decoration will be enough to get you noticed.

Shop military boots that command attention.
