We’re still loving wearing summer pieces but we’ve also got our eye on the season ahead. For a great color that works any time of year, we are stocking our carts with everything olive green. Work a military-style jacket into your wardrobe with shorts and heeled sandals, then wear it with high-waisted jeans and a sweater when the temperature drops. Opt for olive-hued boots, pants, or dresses for chic pieces you can wear both now and later.

We’re excited to shed our heavy winter layers and lighten up with spring outerwear. One of our favorite trends is military-inspired jackets. We love how elevated Kate Davidson Hudson's basic pieces look when topped off with this relaxed piece. Pair an olive green utility jacket with jeans and sneakers or over joggers when you need a light layer.

From cargo pants to coverall jumpsuits, the utilitarian trend is strong for fall. Model of the moment, Kaia Gerber (flanked by mom, Cindy Crawford, no less) flawlessly demonstrates another take on this ultra-cool style: the army jacket. We can’t decide what looks chicer—an olive-hued blazer dressed up with a skirt and heels, or worn casually with denim and boots. Either way, Kaia’s giving us cravings for a military jacket of our own.
