Another trend this fall is the
military inspired army green
jacket. It adds just the right
amount of toughness to any
outfit. “Try pairing the army jacket
over floral leggings,” explained

Jeans and a tee never go out of
style, but this basic pairing looks
modern when layered with a
bright cardigan and metallic
kicks. Take your denim game

are always classics, but today
