19 Ways to Jump on Board the Military Trend This Fall

Going hand-in-hand with ’90s grunge, all things military are currently having a moment. Yup, you heard right: You officially have an excuse to reach for your prized fall camo prints for a look that reads modern-day GI Jane. (And you best believe studded combat boots are in order for all you contemporary boss babes with an edgy streak.) Armed with certain wardrobe workhorses — think an army green shacket, tough-girl booties and tailored military-inspired outerwear — it won’t be long before you’re ditching your goody-two-shoes image (‘bout time!) for an alternative look that’s downright fierce. Be it day or night, the boardroom or after-hours, we’ve got you covered with 19 military-inspired statement pieces that will work their magic around the clock. *Adds everything to shopping cart for a DGAF ‘tude*

1. Zara Military Style Patch Hat ($13): Fake it ‘til you make it with this military patch beanie that gives off a don’t-mess-around vibe. Just add some mirrored aviators and a black puffer jacket for a look that’s straight-up gangsta.

2. Glamorous Pom Military Shirt ($142): This is not your everyday military shirt, people! Turn a mundane Monday upside down with this relatively unassuming khaki button-down that’s been jazzed up with playful tassels and medallions. When you’re not wearing it tucked into black culottes for the boardroom, toss it on over a lightweight cashmere sweater and jeans (don’t forget some desert boots!) for a pared down, weekend-ready #OOTD.

3. Zara Velvet Toggle Jacket ($149): Who knew military could look this chic? Not us, but then again, we shouldn’t be surprised. Take the “more is more” approach with this velvet toggle jacket that *will* be spotted a mile away. The fancy gold decorative accents will make you feel dressed to the nines at a fall fête — just toss this hero piece on over a drop-waist dress and slip into some edgy Miu Miu-inspired ballerinas for instant style cred.

4. Topshop Twist Front Crop Top ($30): Don’t back down now: Embrace the military trend on an upcoming GNO with this midriff-baring twist-front crop top that’s ready to tear up the dance floor. Team it with ripped black jeans, oversized hoop earrings and a mini leather backpack for a downtown aesthetic.

5. Zara Flat Military Ankle Boots ($70): Proceed to channel a straight-outta-boot-camp vibe with these flat military ankle boots that mean serious business. Maybe steer clear of the boardroom — unless you want to be on HR’s hit list, that is — but DO wear them to the pumpkin patch, a rock concert or when walking your pooch around the block (‘cause why not?). Hint, hint: They’ll look fly with a lumberjack flannel button-down and thick marled socks.

6. Urban Outfitters Vintage Military Surplus Jogger Pant ($54): Werk it in these vintage-inspired surplus joggers that are this close to becoming your new stay-at-home staple of choice. (The pocket compartments are our fave part.) Running errands across town? Don’t hesitate to slip these wardrobe workhorses on with a stylish pullover, a camo print baseball cap and Chelsea boots.

7. Zara Military Detail T-Shirt ($20): Found it. We heard you were on the hunt for an anything-but-basic tee with next-level military details. Team this embellished top with a newsboy cap and high-waisted cropped flares for a casual-cool vibe that’s so RN.

8. Pull&Bear Military Coat With Badge Detail ($90): Call up your neighborhood girl gang: You’re ready for a night of debauchery. Usher in an air of mystery with this gray military wool coat (just check out those badges) that will make you feel like the top lieutenant in charge. Juxtapose a swishy metallic pleat skirt with some old-school Chuck Taylors for a getup that breaks all the rules.

9. Elodie Patched Woven Shirt ($49): Here, quirky patches lend a festive update to an otherwise predictable woven shirt. Between the rocket-ship emoji patch and army stars, this popover is jam-packed with personality. Pro Tip: Roll up your sleeves and order a size up for an effortless fit that has lazy Sunday written all over it.

10. Zara Military Mini Skirt ($70): Upcoming date night with bae? Take it there with this versatile wool mini, complete with two rows of military-inspired buttons on the front, that calls for a neck-tie blouse or sultry bodysuit. Tough-girl ankle boots (what else?!) and a bold red lip will deliver up just the right amount of confidence.

11. Urban Outfitters Vintage Mesh Surplus Crop Tee ($24): Next to your go-to metallic bomber and Yeezys, this mesh crop top is practically a no-brainer — especially for a true rebel without a cause like yourself. You know the drill: Layer it over a lace bralet and toss on some silk joggers or tie-waist pants for no shortage of RiRi-esque swagger.

12. Jeffrey Campbell Parche Khaki Arms Combo ($180): For a more literal take on the military trend, opt for a pair of these comfortable and functional slip-on sneaks with wear-everywhere appeal. Potentially WTF-worthy, yes, but they’re actually starting to grow on us. One thing’s for sure: The embroidered stars and army-inspired patches will serve as an instant conversation starter, no matter where you rock ’em.

13. J.Crew Cotton Shirt ($90): Not so fast, preppy enthusiasts! You, too, can snag a military-inspired look this fall. In lieu of your crisp white button-downs, make an effort to go utilitarian with this army green cotton shirt that’s just as laid-back-chic as it looks. If you feel so inclined, pop it over a striped tee — and throw some statement-making chandelier earrings into the mix — for a little extra pizzazz. Jenna Lyons would be so proud.

14. Missguided Lightweight Military Trench Coat ($94): More streamlined than grunge, this cream-colored trench is what you wear when you want to look super put together in zero seconds flat. Not only are the gold buttons glam AF, but the mid-calf length is a shoo-in for a slew of after-hours affairs. Pair with leather pants, a chambray shirt and suede sneakers for an off-duty look with military undertones.

15. Topshop Horoscope Three Buckle Boots ($140): These bad boys were made for walking — and channeling a military-chic look this season. When stiletto ankle booties feel too predictable and combat boots make you feel like you’re trying too hard, opt for these mid-heel stompers featuring trend-right buckles. Team ‘em with anything from boyfriend jeans to an off-the-clock utility shirt dress for instant street MVP status.

16. Topshop Camo Hooded Shacket ($92): Introducing the camouflage shacket-meets-hoodie in disguise you quite possibly will never want to take off. Pssst: We don’t blame you one bit. You’ll gravitate toward the borrowed-from-the-boys fit on mornings you’d rather just stay in bed and seek solace in the super soft jersey material once cold weather hits.

17. French Connection Military Floral Print Pants ($98): So maybe cargo pants and traditional camo prints aren’t your jam, and that’s perfectly okay. Do the military thang on your own terms with these ultra-feminine camo-floral pants that can be styled alongside a leather moto jacket and leather slip-on sneaks for a daytime casual uniform that slays. We’re so down.

18. Mango Military Style Coat ($230): Tailored to perfection, this navy military coat is more than deserving of a spot in your fall wardrobe. The red contrast trim, gold brass buttons and double-breasted style will make you feel super legit commuting to your nine-to-five. Round out your look with a pants-over-trousers getup and pointed-toe ankle boots that demand respect.

19. Nasty Gal Collection Got Your Six Soutache Military Jacket ($158): Can you count the ways to stand out from the crowd in this soutache military jacket? The limit does not exist. Start calling all the shots by styling it alongside a black bodycon midi dress, a leather mini or plain ol’ vintage mom jeans for a getup that says cadet-in-training. Girl boss-approved Doc Martens will be required from here on out.

Tommy Hilfiger Crossover-Hem Dress

Florals for spring aren't groundbreaking, but during fall they are. This crossover-hem dress is for anyone who's been reading one too many dark romance books and want to dress like the mysterious book or tea shop owner who's stylish. It has an invisible back zipper for a seamless look and is lined in case you're afraid of wearing something sheer.

Macy's

Avec Les Filles Faux Leather Drop-Waist Dress

It's hard to believe, but leather dresses can be sexy without revealing a lot of skin. The bodice is fitted, but the 'skirt' portion flares out, offering a nice balance that makes you feel comfortable. Plus, we just love a drop waist!

Macy's

Lauren Ralph Lauren Double-Faced Georgette Shirtdress

Vince Camuto Floral Printed Faux-Wrap Belted Dress

Add pops of flirty color to your fall wardrobe with Vince Camuto's belted dress! The ruffled hem will make it look like you're wearing floating flowers which will look so good with a pair of Steve Madden boots!

Macy's

DKNY Ombré Belted Pleat Skirt Dress

You can easily get away with wearing this pleat skirt dress to work or church because the hemline rests right below your knees. The cute contrast between the solid top and pinstriped bottom keeps it from being anything but boring which is the goal for fall.

Macy's

24seven Comfort Apparel Collared Wrap Dress

Dressing for comfort is at the top of everyone's list this fall, so it makes sense to have a collared wrap dress on-hand this season. It's the easiest way to look sophisticated without trying too hard. All you'll need are a pair of cute Target heels, cute jewelry, and one of your wool fall coats to complete your look.

Macy's

En Saison Mixed Media Dress

You have to buy at least one cute ribbed dress during fall — it's an essential piece that signals the transitional weather. Though the temps can fluctuate depending on where you live, you can definitely get away with wearing this dress once temperatures drop down to 65 degrees and or lower!

Macy's

ELOQUII Plus Size Funnel Neck Dress

This easy fit dress was made for fall! You don't have to worry about pesky zippers because you just simply pull it over your head and it glides right over your curves. It does have a funnel neckline, but the fabric will accentuate your hips in the best way.

Macy's

Donna Karan Metallic Brocade Dress

Have a birthday or special event coming up? Don't get caught lacking without this metallic brocade dress! It reminds of The Gilded Age with it's gold pattern that's set against organza.

There is no one on this earth with a better heart...I’m 31 years old and I’m not a perfect person, but I am definitely deeply good, and I’m proud of who I’m becoming. I will never let disreputable evil tabloids ruin my life or my perception of what is real and good.”

October 30, 2024 — Ethan Slater Finally Speaks Out About His Relationship With Ariana Grande

Almost two years after meeting Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater finally opened up about their relationship in a new interview with GQ. “Obviously, it was a really super big year and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public," he says. "There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard."

But the clouds also came with silver linings. “Of course, it was an amazing year and a really beautiful thing, and I’m just really excited," he continues. "I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this. She’s poured herself into it. I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

"The moments where somebody broke, it was always great. There's one that's seared into my memory of, in Doctor Dillamond's classroom, I don't remember what Ari said but she got Cynthia [Erivo] and it's just the two of them across the way and they're staring at each other and she got her so good. There's something really wonderful about breaking. It's delightful."

He also praised Ariana and Cynthia for how they welcomed the rest of the cast their first days on set. "[They] would hug everyone who came in," he continues. "This huge movie is something that we've been waiting for for 20 years on a big scale with the biggest stars in the world, it could have felt really intimidating and it felt really familial immediately."

This post has been updated.

"I have too many boots in my closet," said no one ever. While you may have decided to donate some pairs you've outgrown to make space in your wardrobe, we're sure you're likely already on the hunt for chic replacements as we speak. You could call this intuition our heightened psychic abilities from the Autumn Equinox...or you could say we've been there, done that.

Since it's impossible to buy all the stylish fall shoes — though, we're certainly trying — we've found the top 15 Steve Madden boots that made it to our wishlists this year!

Short Steve Madden Boots

Steve Madden

Roland Brown Leather Boots

Every fall closet needs at least one pair of Steve Madden boots that are a little rugged. These are great for the days when it's rainy out and you're not trying to chance slipping on the pavement.

Put on your best trench coat, rib knit sweater, and boot cut jeans for a casual look you'll replicate well past winter!

Steve Madden

Lizabelle Leopard Boots

The leopard print trend is the gift that keeps on giving because it seems to refresh itself every year. It seems like everyone can agree it's one trend you can't mess up. The sleek design and squared heel give it an air of chicness that makes it look like you're ready to take on the Runway office á la The Devil Wears Prada.

Steve Madden

Rogue Black Box Leather Boots

Feeling drawn to dark academia books now that it's fall? We don't blame you, but we do suggest slipping into these Rogue Black Box leather boots! We can see someone from the cast of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina wearing them with something preppy.

Steve Madden

Keeper Black Leather Boots

More concerned with walking to the beat of your own drum than keeping up with trends? You'll love these comfortable moto boots. While these don't come in half sizes — so you'll have to size up if you're more of a 7.5 than a 7 — they're still the perfect match for all the cute leather jackets we can't stop looking at!

Steve Madden

Brooks Beige Snake Boots

Going for a rocker vibe this fall and need something that'll make you stand out in the crowd? Go for these snake print ankle booties! They're the pointy best friends to the faux leather pants you'll be shuffling into. Who knows, you might keep them in heavy rotation with all of your fall outfits.

Steve Madden

Crue Chestnut Boots

You don't have to go over budget to wear UGGs — these dupes to give you the same appeal and comfort for much less. The inner lining is made of cozy faux shearling which will work with those days you'd rather be bed-rotting, but are forced to show your face at school or to run a few errands.

Steve Madden

Avalanche Tan Boots

Plan to spend a week at a semi-secluded log cabin? This pair is very aptly named 'Avalanche' for all your outdoor adventures. They're cute, functional, and will keep your feet warm when the temperature drops.

Long Steve Madden Boots

Steve Madden

Dawn Wine Boots

These tall boots are the exact shade of wine red everyone's going crazy over this fall! No really, you need Dawn — yes, I'm on a first-name basis with these boots — because she's going to elevate your sweater dress. Although the picture shows otherwise, the heel on these boots are more comfortable than you think.

Steve Madden

Lasso Brown Distressed Boots

We've seen a lot of cowgirl boots during the past couple of years, but none are quite as sexy as this pair. Keeping on par with the distressed look, we're sure the stitching also plays a role in what makes them unique.

Since each pair of these boots are handmade, it's normal if you buy a pair that doesn't look exactly like this. You'll still be getting the same premium leather and sexy wear these boots promise to give.

Steve Madden

Baddie Brown Distressed Boots

These pair of distressed Steve Madden boots are like a foray into that rebellious part of ourselves we generally keep locked away. While we're not talking about anything too crazy, we are talking about our inner rebels who have finally learned to stop being people pleasers.

It's no coincidence these are appropriately named 'Baddie.' Let yours out and grab this pair!

Steve Madden

Lucid Brown Suede Brown Boots

If you plan to spend time in printed maxi dresses, you need these suede boots. If you're giving them the side eye because they have a kitten heel, but we say don't knock it until you try it! Every outfit doesn't have require 4+ inch heels, especially if you plan to spend time visiting an apple orchard before heading over to a pumpkin patch!

Steve Madden

Lizette Cognac Suede Boots

There's the squared-heel we've fallen so in love with! While traditional stiletto heels are usually praised, we think nothing beats it's sleeker (and more supportive) sister. When that heel is paired with suede, you get these perfect Steve Madden boots.

Steve Madden

Lander Black Crocodile Boots

The best thing about crocodile print boots is how well they elevate any outfit. From casual to date night outfits, the Lander Boots will make you look sophisticated with every step you take. Don't be surprised if people keep stopping to ask you where you got them from.

Steve Madden

Bellamie Sand Suede Boots

Is it the year of the suede boots? We won't go as far as to say that, but it seems like our favorite Steve Madden boots have this one feature in common. The slouchy appearance will still give your outfits a touch of elegance, but people will know you're approachable given the relaxed fit.

Steve Madden

Ruskin Chestnut Suede Boots

Take a break from anything with a heel height over 2" and go for the Ruskin boots. They have a squared-toe that'll make people think twice about messing with you in public. They have the perfect weather-beaten look that makes certain boots look better over time which adds to the appeal of them.

Steve Madden

Faye Bone Leather Boots

If you could care less about looking approachable, slide your feet into these bone leather boots. They're trendy and look like they mean business — like all your upcoming fall outfits.

It's official: John Krasinski is now PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. If you ask us, John Krasinski will always be Jim from The Office, but I think this new distinction will do just fine, too. Last year Patrick Dempsey won the top spot, giving us silver fox sex appeal, and we love that PEOPLE went in a different direction with our favorite actor-director this time. Here's everything to know about this fine gentleman — including what his wife, Emily Blunt, has to say about it all.

John Krasinski shares his thoughts on being PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

No one knows how to do dead-pan humor like John Krasinski (unless your name is Ryan Reynolds, of course 😉). His response to winning was, "Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts," (via PEOPLE). He followed up with, "That's not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me."

Of course Emily Blunt couldn't resist making a little joke...

We know Emily Blunt has a great sense of humor too, so it comes as no surprise that she had a little something to say to John about his new title. Besides being "very excited" about his win, she apparently told him she'd willingly plaster his face all over their home, wallpaper-style (via PEOPLE). The Jack Ryan actor said, "My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all."

TODAY also reports the actor revealed Emily may pile on the housework given all this newfound attention. "I think it's going to make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she'll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.'" We don't see a problem with that!

Here's everything Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski is working on right now:

Jonny Cournoyer/Prime Video

He recently wrote, directed, and starred in this year's IF — a film Ryan Reynolds also appears in — which follows a young girl's introduction to a vast world of imaginary friends. It almost feels like the heartwarming TV show Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends, albeit the young girl is dealing with possibly losing her only living parent.

Next up, fans will get to see John star in Fountain of Youth alongside Natalie Portman, according to Deadline. They'll star as a brother and sister who are determined to claim the actual Fountain of Youth for themselves.

Deadline also reports that he'll take the lead role in the upcoming Jack Ryan film. A premiere date hasn't been announced yet, but we do know Amazon MGM Studios is behind it!
