Military style is an endless source inspiration for fashion designers.

The buttoned-up clean lines and tailored structure is a natural contrast to little black dresses, funky pants and every design in between. Across the shoulder satchels and cargo pants aren’t likely to go out of style. Keep these items looking fresh by mixing them up with hot seasonal trends.

These top army navy store fashions will have you marching to beat of your own signature style.

10. Field pants

Field pants are about comfort and durability, but they’re not immune to girlish touches. The snug fit around the waist and wide pant make these a perfect match for a clingy top. Wear these military style pants with a colorful jersey tee, fitted tank top or cropped sweater. Baggy shirts over baggy pants make the body appear shapeless.

9. Shoulder bags

Okay, hand bag addicts. So maybe you’re cut-off from buying any new hand bags for a while … not to be a temptress, but technically army satchels are for shoulders. These adorable — I mean rugged — shoulder bags are made to withstand outdoorsy wear and tear, and look good doing it. So they’re practically a necessity.

8. Adjustable caps

Adjustable, camping caps are a cool, handy accessory whether you’re wearing a collared shirt and slacks or a commando-style sweater dress. Unlike knit these won’t give you static or flatten your tresses. The look great on men and women with short hair, or over a braid or pony tail.

7. The mighty tattoo

Everybody’s got a story to tell, but where to begin? Why not start with that gigantic flag down your arm? Some soldiers prefer ink to verbal storytelling, and it’s not hard to imagine why. Choose your art carefully and once it’s complete wear it proud. Sleeveless shirts all around.

6. Dr. Martens

Originally designed by a fellow on army leave, Dr. Martens remain a staple in every tough guy and girl’s closet. These leather work boots last for years and accentuate the edges of your hard-core army navy store fashions. The classic design is black with yellow stitching, but you can pull off brown or cherry red with the best of them.

5. Sexy black dress

A tailored black dress may be too sexy for active service women on the job, but it’s the perfect accompaniment to open military jackets and buttoned down shirts. Complete the look with a gold chain necklace and nude heals.

4. Swiss military watch

Military fashions aren’t exclusive to women, far from it. Men love their toys almost as much as boyish fantasies, like running covert operations. Swiss military watches run like … well, like clockwork. They last forever and up the manliness factor in any wardrobe.

3. Camo print jeans

The army wears camouflage to blend in; you wear it and stand out. Tomato: to-mah-to. But do beware that camo print jeans can easily overwhelm the eyes. Tone it down and doll it up with a cute lacey top and cropped jacket.

2. Jackets with hardware

Army navy store fashions embrace the shiny details. Full length wool trench coats cinch at the waist and emphasize the shoulders. Dark, neutral colors with decorative toggles and shoulder epaulettes stay true to the original style inspiration.

1. Silk button down

As evidence that sexy doesn’t always equal bare skin or ultra tight clothing, please direct your eyes to this luxurious silk button down shirt. The khaki color, flap pockets and cuffs salute hard edges and straight backs. Paired with fitted, dark jeans this look can do no wrong. If confidence, drive and attitude could be sewn into a garment this would be it.
