With the weather going from basically freezing to warm enough to not wear a winter jacket in less than week, the spring jackets can now make their appearances. This past weekend I got myself a green military camo printed parka. I loved the jacket so much that I wore it three times out of four days and one of the days, I wore it twice. That tells you how much I loved it.

The army/military green color is great neutral color to break up your color palette or even tie it all together. Parka’s are a great transition piece from colder weather to warmer weather or vice versa.  Parka’s are also referred to as utility or cargo jackets because of their worker-esque look. Parkas stand out in their olive green color, or khaki as the UK likes to call them, but they do come in navy blue, black and every grey and tan. Also don’t be afraid to dress your parka up either, I even paired mine with a pair of heels – which is where the “street stylin” comes in. There are some great options with different looks available that allow you to either dress up or dress down, mix match different styles and come up with your own.

Here is how I wore my military jacket this past weekend. I wish I had gotten a better picture of the second outfit, but that was a quick save from SnapChat. My jacket is the #4 from the picture above.
