Military green: learn to value your looks with this timeless color

Some colors are timeless and often seen at certain times of the year, such as military green, which is present in many classic pieces of the colder seasons.

This shade of green is a great alternative for those who prefer neutral tones to escape a little from white, black and gray, as it offers the same ease when combining the pieces and assembling the looks.

The color is commonly seen in pieces like parkas, vests, jackets, and pants, and is great for creating a more urban, up-to-date look. In combinations, it is common for it to be mixed with more neutral tones, including jeans, or even with a bolder tone such as caramel or burgundy.

Military green can also predominate in prints, such as camouflage, or serve as a background for floral prints. The color also allows for monochromatic looks that can be casual or more sophisticated, depending on the shoes and accessories chosen.

how to wear military green

See below for tips developed in partnership with style consultant Danyla Borobia to learn how to insert military green into your looks or to improve the use of color in different pieces.

military green blouse

Blouses are easy to find pieces in military green. They can compose uncomplicated looks with jeans at the bottom and complemented by metallic accessories in a more elaborate option.

For a more fashionista look, the style consultant Danyla suggests the combination of the military green blouse with white pantacourt, even more if combined with caramel shoes. “The low-cut blouses or blouses with large armholes ask for strappy or lace lingerie in black, to give a touch of sensuality and freshness to the military green”, adds Danyla.

Military green shirts and vests

Military green shirts and vests are great options for a third piece that complements and provides extra charm in a more neutral look. According to Danyla, the vest is a great option to compose with striped dresses, as it is current and elongates the silhouette.

To get out of the common sense of combinations and be more daring in the looks, the consultant gives the tip: “Compositions with dark neutral colors such as petroleum blue and wine come out of common sense and are allies in the impression of personality and elegance in the look”.

military green pants

This piece can be a good alternative to traditional jeans, due to the versatility of combinations. To create a more sophisticated look, silk blouses are great options, as Danyla indicates.

“The color compositions can be the most varied, when opting for the rose quartz color, the look will be more current”, says Danyla. Other options to complement the look with military pants are blouses with ruffles and romantic inspirations. Metallic sandals and flats can complete the looks.

military green skirt

Like pants, skirts can be used to balance out the most romantic looks. Monochromatic combinations or the skirt combined with t-shirts are great options for updated looks for the club.

“The midi skirt with a metallic or sequined shirt or blouse tends to leave the look with a fashionista perfume”, says Danyla to unite the color with the midi trend and create a look full of personality and style.

military green shorts

Informality and comfort are one of the main features of the shorts. But the casualness of the piece can be overcome by combining pieces in more noble fabrics, such as silk, for example, and with heels or moccasins.

“Looks in monochromatic or analogous colors guarantee instant sophistication for the shorts, which is a piece that refers to informality, and a feeling of extra centimeters in the silhouette”, adds Danyla about ways to create a more elaborate and sophisticated look with the shorts.

military green dress

The models of dresses in military green can be varied and valued for necklines, whether deeper, on the back or shoulder to shoulder. To complement them in cold day looks, the bet can be a denim or leather jacket.

“For evening looks, it is best to bet on more noble fabrics and edit with glamorous accessories, gemstones and metallics are the bet to create a brighter look. For the day, it can be paired with animal print shoes and bags, which guarantee boldness with a touch of modernity” adds Danyla. For a comfortable look, white sneakers can complete the look.

Military green jacket and coat

Parkas are a classic in military green. In addition to this model, the overcoats and bomber jackets are excellent in color and can have a current touch if made in oversize modeling, with the application of patches or buttons.

“The jacket helps to bring charm and versatility to the pieces of the wardrobe, it is possible to take out of the closet that party dress or the white outfit, which only came out once on New Year’s Eve, and put it to play, making every penny worth it, to leave everything with a modern feel, it is worth investing in a mule without heels and walking fearlessly”, teaches Danyla.
