Who knew that the military trend that got hot several years ago
wouldn't die as suddenly as it returned, but instead would grow far and wide
until it blew out of proportion. Khaki
and camouflage-colored thick shirts and jackets dominate then stores, along
with tops, pants, dresses and bags - all paying tribute to the military
fashion. All that put together makes a gal look like a new recruit in an
ill-fitted army suit, or, in worst case - a hobo.
As much as I`m a fan of tomboy style, I don`t believe that a hobo look
is ever a good choice or has anything to do with good taste. And believe me, I
tried. Seeing Lindsay Weir in the show inspired me to give the overhyped hobo
jacket another chance. I went to my favorite stores and tried some of them on and
result was the same - I just don't see it. But relax, I`m not really trying to
kill the buzz for you - if you do enjoy the grunge army look, totally go for
it. Just please, pair it with skinny jeans and converse, not baggy army pants
and chunky boots with spikes - unless you`re indeed going to fight a war or
joining a neighborhood gang.
Though, I must confess, my rant about aggressive fashion trend with all
those military outfits, spikes and leather has become too mainstream, and the
true freaks (to which I do refer myself in some sense) can no longer wear any
of that with pride. So I can`t help waiting for the day when the fashion world
switches its focus to something else, and give all those cool attributes back
to the wild kids.
