You can do Utilitarian...it's easy!

This trend has come and gone over the years, but it's going to be a hot trend for Spring this year, so pay attention ladies on how to pull this off!

These eminently functional clothes can do work, weekends, or evenings.  It's all about choosing your key piece - whether it's an army jacket, a camp shirt, or a pair of cargo pants - and creating the mood from there.

Steer clear of wearing this look from head to toe.  Mix in something feminine or slightly sexy.  Try a lace-trimmed camisole under a safari jacket, or team skinny fatigues with an oversize satin shirt that's open at the neck.

Accessories help you stand out from the rank and file, and the trick is to think in contrasts.  Strappy, sultry heels are the perfect foil for a mechanic-style jumpsuit or an olive minidress.  Push it even further with exotic jewelry, or add a little texture with an open-weave scarf.

My secret - stop at your local Army-Navy store for endless cool finds, like sheeny flight jackets and canvas satchels, at very doable prices.

One of my favorite designers is Marc Jacobs, and I love the way he showcased the military style on his runway show.  Check out some of his looks as well as how celebs have done this trend and get inspired to try it yourself!
