Free PeopleIt's been over a decade since 2010. That means it's only natural that fashion trends from that time have made their way back onto Instagram feeds, including the 2016 army jacket.
I remember buying mine at Gap in 2013 and thinking it was peak fashion. Well, I'm here to tell you the green army jacket is back to reclaim that title.
Whether you call the color olive, sage, or army green, brands like Abercrombie, Free People, J. Crew, and Urban Outfitters have revived the iconic outerwear and it's more fashionable than ever.
The nostalgic jackets have since gotten a 2025 update. The muted hue now takes form in trendy chore jackets, barn coats, and cropped silhouettes. Think more quiet luxury than battlefield-ready (although we're seeing plenty of that, too).
This new and improved version of the 2010s jacket makes the ideal layering piece as temperatures begin to drop, whether paired with a dress and motorcycle boots or low-rise jeans and ballet flats.
It's time for the 2016 green army jacket to make its way back into your closet. Shop the best ones from Old Navy, Gap, and more.
