Lemon Lime & Combat Ready

Anything army green seems to be the key player in my wardrobe this fall, particularly when it comes in a military-style cut with lots of pockets.

I recruited this little number to my fashion army a few months back and I’ve been wearing it non-stop ever since. It’s been my go-to transitional piece for an off-duty, perfectly pulled-together look — especially with those items I’m not yet ready to stow at the back of my closet, like these yellow jeans.

Personally, I wear military-inspired style in a more casual way to channel an everyday street-style vibe, but tailored army greens are also a great option as evening-appropriate outerwear. This jacket was my go-to during Fashion Week.

If you’re not into excessive layering and neon-tinted denim, just pair yours with black, pastel or neutral bottoms for a smart-but-stylish dressing strategy. You really can’t go wrong with this trend!

  3. Ok I shouldn’t be shocked but I am - Old Navy? Love it! I especially love the neon on neon bottom half, and the neutral top half (of the body). I think it elongates the leg like a nude pump would by keeping the yellow going. I may need to do this trick with some neon pink jeans I have….Thanks!
