MilitaryChicThe 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.
