Military Chic: The Look for Less

The military trend is still sizzling hot for summer. We’ve seen amazing military jackets and skinny cargo pants from Balmain which I covet, but might be challenging for some to pull off…not to mention the hefty price-tag! Kourtney Kardashian stepped out in a simple yet chic military-inspired outfit last week that is easy to recreate.
Cargo pants are an easy way to pull of the military trend. Check out J.Crew’s ripstop cargo pant {$40}, they are super soft and offer an ultra-flattering fit. A crisp white, v-neck t-shirt is a basic must in everyone’s wardrobe each season. Target has great prices on basic items such as the classic white t-shirt. Try Merona’s ultimate v-neck {$8}.
A brown leather belt is something that will never go out of style. The Gap’s embossed leather belt {$30} is a great addition to any stylish girl’s wardrobe. To recreate Kourtney’s YSL heels, try BCBGeneration Tempa Sandal {$70} without breaking the bank.
Finally no outfit is complete without some accessories. Kourtney added a bit of flair with her zebra-printed clutch. Check out Express’ zebra printed clutch for a similar look. Every Hollywood starlet needs a pair of sunglasses while ignoring the paparazzi and Kourtney added classic aviator sunglasses to her look. Try Arden B’s metal aviator sunglasses {$20} to complete your look.
this is one of my fav every day fashions that i wear. I have lots of pants like that. I need to get one of those cute jackets. But i have to say they remind me of band geek over military
Love the shoes you found that are similar. The pants must be sold out already because the link redirects to the main page and after searching, I don’t see them.
I love this military look — especially the short pants with all the pockets!
Great post, Erika! We’re also totally in love with the utilitarian look this Spring/Summer. And, the cargo pants is a def must this season. We like to pair them in an unexpected way too with some heels, button-down blouse, pearls & a fedora! But you can certainly go casual with flats. That’s the fab thing about these pants – the versatility!
