Katy in Camo
She may have been partially camouflaged behind her oversize black sunnies and fedora while making her way through the streets of London, but there was no hiding Katy Perry's fabulous sense of military-inspired style in this ensemble. Here she sported a pair of skintight camouflage printed leggings, a metallic off-the-shoulder sweater and eye-popping purple pumps. Keep clicking to get her look yourself!
Army Charm
How bad could boot camp be in J Brand's wax stretch skinnies in camouflage ($175)? These skinny four-pocket leggings with faux front pockets are made out of a lightweight stretchy fabric with a wax finish that isn't waxy to the touch. The dark camouflage pattern of gray and olive will go with almost everything in your closet—from a preppy white button-down to a slinky metallic top.
Metallic Mesh
Throw Vince's Metallic Popover short-sleeve sweater ($221.25) over a simple sheer tank and you're good to go. Work it by day for a casual look à la Katy, or pair it with a super slim pencil skirt, dangly earrings and strappy heels for a look that's pure nighttime sophistication.
Purple Power
Katy rocked these Rock & Republic Celina purple suede pumps ($295) to complete her fashion-forward look. The almond-shaped toes, super high platform heels and silver dagger pendants hanging from the ankles give these babies more than a little edge. Playful pumps or wearable weapons—you make the call.
Cute in Cargo
Halle Berry recently stepped out in a flattering pair of skinny khaki cargo pants, proving that just because you're wearing pants that were originally designed to hold a lot of stuff doesn't mean you have to look like you're packing extra poundage.
Earn Your Style Stripes
Zip up your military look this fall like Halle Berry with Rockstar's beige cargo pant ($248). With its slim fit and zippers on the back pockets and ankles, these cargos are the perfectly updated version of Elvis-joins-the-Army.
Awesome in Olive
Who knew olive drab could be so olive fab? Current/Elliott clearly did with their cotton-blend skinny cargo pants ($250). With three front pockets, two hip pockets, two back pockets, distressed detailing and raised stitched seams, these pants will provide the perfect neutral backdrop to whatever fun tops and footwear you've got going on for fall.
Don't Ripstop ‘Til You Get Enough
J.Crew gets into the army fashion action with their cropped ripstop cargo pant ($69.50). Cropped, zippered, already broken-in and in three drab-yet-fab colors of durable ripstop cotton? Sign us up!
Reporting for Fashion Duty
Of course the military look isn't just for women. Matthew McConaughey got in on the action when he stepped out with his family wearing a khaki button-down, olive green pants, gold aviators, newsboy cap and lace-up work boots. Now that's a uniform we can get behind!
Twill Thrill
Ralph Lauren's slim custom-fit military twill shirt ($89.99), made from a durable cotton twill, is stone-washed and designed for a trim, modern fit with vintage stamping and stitching for an authentic old-school army look. Wear it layered over a white T-shirt like Matthew for ultimate comfort.
Work the Look
Gap's two-pocket worker shirt ($49.50) comes in military-inspired shades to keep on trend without being too trendy for the dude who doesn't want to look like he's trying too hard. When the temps drop, throw on a chunky crewneck sweater or a leather motorcycle jacket for added warmth and texture—just stay away from the bomber style or you might look like you stepped out of a World War II flick.
Easy Piece
What makes Quiksilver's Automatic pants ($59) "automatic"? The easy fit, the neutral color, the casual cargo styling, and let's not forget about the price. Done, done, done and done.
Dynamic A-List Duo
Matchy-matchy costar alert! But Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise are just so darn pretty, we'll forgive them for wearing his-and-hers matching army green—hers a great blazer and his a masculine button-down—because they gave us another example of the military look at its high-ranking best.
Sharp Shooter
Cameron Diaz managed to look anything but dull in Elizabeth & James' Sharp Shoulder James blazer ($395) in olive. This ¾-sleeve cotton blazer is the neutral piece that will keep on giving to almost everything in your wardrobe, from slinky sequined minidresses to work trousers.
A-tenn-shun!
In this What Goes Around Comes Around Aztec shirt ($102), you'll command more than a little attention. When you sport this 100 percent cotton button-down with flat chest pockets, pointed shoulders and back yokes and tone-on-tone stitching, they'll know exactly who's in charge—and so will you.
