In tough times a girl needs a tough outfit, so make your military wardrobe troop through both the Summer and Winter seasons by investing in a khaki jacket. Not keen on the fierce angular shapes so well loved after the craze of Balmainia? Then head for a more slouchy style, with many catwalks rocking either the parka jacket - a la Tory Burch - or the billowing but belted trench, as seen at Aquascutum. If you want to be really ahead of the crowd, opt for the aviator take on the military trend, and follow Christopher Bailey's lead by purchasing a shearling jacket, as seen at Burberry.
