StyleCard Stylist: Military Style With A Glamorous Twist

Posted on 13 November, 2012 by Debbie Fifton

Camouflage and military style jackets are currently a huge trend and this look gives you military style with a glamorous twist!

Start with this amazing Dark Khaki Gold Sequin Sleeve Military Parka Jacket, from Spoiled Brat. This jacket is great for so many reasons – the most obvious being the contrasting, sparkly sequin sleeves against the khaki body. This adds glamour in an instant. As well as sparkly sleeves, this jacket has a drawstring waist, allowing you to define your own waist, and give the jacket shape. For extra glamour points, wear this jacket with a just as sparkly top. The sequins on this Funktional Weiland Sequined Sheer Top, from Karmaloop, will complement the sequins on the jacket and make you look extra sparkly.

Keep your bottom half simple to avoid sequin overload. Opt for a pair of jet black jeans, such as these Gina Jeans from Wizard Jeans. Your footwear is the place where you can add more sparkle if you wish, and these Jeffrey Campbell Spike Shoes in black and gold will not fail to add glamour to your outfit. The gold spikes will tie in perfectly with the sequins in the outfit. Continue working with the gold theme with gold accessories. A Shan Gold Ring from PDB Jewelry is all the jewellery that you will need. Gorjana’s Perry Crossbody adds a nice finishing touch to this look and here you have your military style with a glamorous twist!

Daily Buy: The Floral Pleated Back Top

Floral prints are currently here to stay and are a simple way to add a feminine touch to any look. This Floral Pleated Back Top, from Kaliko, is a perfect example of this. The huge floral print on this blouse is very eye-catching and will become the main attraction when creating an outfit around this. The colours complement each other beautifully and although there are quite a few colours, they are also very subtle. Wear this blouse with a pair of black, peg leg trousers. The clean lines on this style of trouser will work fantastically with the simple cut ...

Daily Outfit: The New Twenties, Reinvented

In the vein of all things Art Deco and Daisy Buchanan inspired doing the rounds, (still), we decided to pay homage to a trend that apparently has more mileage than a second-hand car. Putting aside the furs and costume jewellery of December and approaching from a sunnier direction, we have Hoss Intropia’s dress available at lovely new StyleCard partner Eden. The geometric print has a distinct flavour of not just artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh, but also name of the moment Mary Katrantzou. Culture and fashion, rolled into one tidy tunic. Throw in the contrast sleeves and border detailing and you’ve ...

Get the Look: Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller, back on top after giving birth to her first child dazzled at the TV Baftas this year in a Matthew Williamson gown. Nominated for her role in Hitchcock biopic The Girl, Sienna shone in the Fifties styled blue textured dress. Her signature peek-a-boo fringe and take-no-prisoners studded court pumps modernised the look. Yumi’s jacquard floral dress is, (figuratively speaking, anyway), cut from the same cloth as Sienna’s. The fit-and-flare design creates an hourglass figure, and the sleeveless style makes it a dream dress for Summer weddings and the like. A scoop neck back provides an oh-so subtle sexy edge. ...

Daily Buy: The Tropical Bikini Top & Bottoms

One of the best things about the holiday season is planning your holiday wardrobe. Being away from your normal day-to-day, it’s a chance to experiment with styles and colours that you may not usually wear. Be daring when selecting your holiday staples, as your time away is all about having fun after all. For an on-trend bikini with guaranteed wow factor, go for this Baku Tropical Fiesta Ruffle Edge Tri – Apple Bikini Top & Bikini Bottom set, from Simply Beach. The bright print and tropical colours are the perfect choice for tanned skin. The ruffled edges give a girly ...

Daily Outfit: Drop It Like It’s Haute

Following the recent hysteria, thanks to a high-street collaboration with a certain designer going by the name of JW Anderson, one begins to wonder whether it’s really worth queuing up in the cold from 6am and getting elbowed in the face just for a slice of haute design at half the price, (or less). We can proudly confirm, however, that you don’t need to dig out the camping gear just yet. Designer garb for the oi polloi can be obtained from the comfort of your very own sofa. Quirky king Peter Jensen’s partnering with ethical brand People Tree has produced a ...

Get the Look: Leigh Lezark

America’s resident cool-girl DJ Leigh Lezark embraced the urban sportswear trend arriving at the Richard Chai AW13 show in a crop top and skirt. The bralette, something that would not have looked entirely out of place in a spin class, exposed Leigh’s toned arms and distinct lack of bingo wings. The Misshapes member certifiedly sartorialised her sporty cover-up with an A-line skirt in mustard yellow. The structured shape of the skirt put paid to any doubt that her top was suitable wear for a fashion show. Divine Cashmere’s high-waisted number in material of the moment leather brings an extra dimension to ...

Get The Look: Elena Perminova

Current darling of the fashion elite Elena Perminova knows better than most how to wear tricky trends straight off the catwalk. In her latest ensemble at the Valentino show, however, she opted for a more tailored approach. Exposing her washboard stomach in a cropped shirt, the navy chambray fabric produced a nautical-like effect paired with her white high-waisted trousers. Never one for ditching glamour in favour of comfort, Elena’s pointed courts elevated her willowy figure to supermodel-like proportions. Mirror-effect wayfarers straight out of the Eighties brought a street-style edge to Elena’s otherwise chic, polished look. Karen Kane’s capris are cropped at ...
