Brass buttons, epaulettes and double-breasting scream military and you can find a variety of pieces inspired by this look. Celebrities like Isla Fisher, Mischa Barton, Beyonce, Victoria Beckham and Chloe Sevigny have been seen in military-inspired looks.

Since they can often encompass a lot military details without it looking overkill, jackets and coats are great for military styles. If you want a bold colored coat, the military details should be subtle. Fred Flare’s bright red coat has a flattering a-line cut and costs $72. I love the Express take on the military coat, shown below in heather gray and also available in pitch black, for $79.50. If those are above your price point, check out Arden B’s military zip up jacket

To militarize your bottom half, purchase a skirt or leggings with military details. This adorable pencil skirt is only $22.99 at Charlotte Russe! Anthropologie is a personal favorite of mine and they have a red brigadier skirt for $78. Macy’s has a pair of leggings for $38 with button snaps.

For a touch of military style, I’ve found a few accessories for under $80. Juicy Couture has a cute military hat for $55 available in beet (shown below), black and gray. These sexy brown boots are at DSW and on sale for $74.95. The fingerless gloves from Free People are available in red, black, gray and eggplant (shown below) and cost $28.

Celebrities have been wearing tulip skirts for a while now and they will continue to be popular through fall. They have been seen most recently on Lo Bosworth, Diane Kruger and Isla Fisher. This style is very flattering for those with wide hips or a larger mid-section. The best tops to wear with this style are form fitting and tucked in or cropped. It is best to wear these with heels or flats depending on how casual the skirt is. To make them cold-weather friendly, you can pair them with tights. I’ve found a few tulip skirt options for under $60.

Topshop sells a classy pelmet skirt with a tulip shape for $55. American Apparel sells a micro-fiber tulip skirt in 8 different colors, including the burgundy shown below. Or go bold with Scottish plaid sold at Forever 21 for only $14.80!

Try a loose shirt tucked in with Topshop’s skirt a la Maria Sharapova. I’d wear this purple t-shirt from Victoria’s Secret ($26 each or 2/$40). The side ties will make it easer to tuck in. I’d wear these bright yellow platform pumps from Pink Duchess on sale for $34.95. To tie the look together, you can add some colorful jewelry or a printed scarf like this one from Rumor for $32.

Jessica Stroup and Rachel Bilson have gone with cropped jackets. I like the one below to go with American Apparel’s burgundy skirt. It’s at Free People and at a huge discount ($49.95 from $148)! I’d wear shoes with some hardware. Try these studded flats on sale at Tilly’s for $16.99 or the heels from Fergie on sale for $54.97.

Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie have chosen a form fitting white shirt with their tulip skirts. Tuck one into Forever 21’s plaid tulip skirt (Express $19.50). You could wear flats or heels with this. For flats, I like these cute red ones by Blowfish on sale at DSW for $39.95. Or these platforms from N.Y.L.A. sold at DSW for a sale price of $89.95 would be awesome with this outfit!
