Military styling is all over the runway catwalks this fall 2011, but why is it so popular for men? Could it be that women love uniform and somehow a man might have a better chance with a woman if he looks more official? Could we all be bewildered with the lack of leadership in our beloved country and therefore feel the need to throw on the Military regalia to make us feel in charge of lives?

Whatever the reason the look is undoubtedly super-cool right now and we love it.

The double breasted trench coat, the pea coat, the cargo pant and the heavy footwear are all part of the autumn season, styled in a short and chic manner.

The look is definitely not new, born in a post war era circa 1930s, 1940s and appearing at some point during each decade thereafter.

One thing the military look does give you is functionality, the garments are purposeful keeping the elements at bay and giving you plenty of storage space for all kinds of 21st century gadgets.

Keep the colours dark for this look, remember it is winter and you don’t want to look like Richard Gere in An Officer And a Gentlemen.
