Military Inspired Looks

Military inspired fashion is one of my favorite fall trends.  Its polished and pulled together without being stuffy.  This is a trend that can be tailored to fit any style from classic to edgy.  You can either be military chic from head to toe, or just start with one item.

Many people start with jackets and coats.  However, many designers have been inspired to make boots, bags, slacks, accessories, and even dresses.  Here are a few ideas on how you can shop for, and rock military inspired pieces.Soldier Chic

Military Inspired iPhone Case?

This post is dedicated to Independent Fashion Bloggers project #61: "Be Uncommon."    The goal of the project is to use a fall trend to inspire an iPhone case design.  So I started thinking what would I want from an phone case.  It was no surprise that the dominate function is protection, and what makes you feel more protected than the U.S. Military?

So I became inspired by the military trend, which is so perfect for fall.  Military jackets and shoes are structured and give an edge to any look.  The trend is great for the girl who has a strong aesthetic, and who likes to get noticed.

When designing this phone case, designers think of dark blues and greens.  There should also be lots of straps and buckles to reflect the military trend.  Designers may want to use a darker shade to border the case to pull the look together.

This was such a fun project, let me know what you guys think of the design.
