a combat boot that won't kill your budget

Military style is one of those trends that just keeps on coming back. Long-skirted coats, a plethora of army green, and endless pairs of boots have repetitively found there way into women's closets. After all, what is sexier than a woman who can rock badass military wear?


While you may want to avoid the lace-up boots and camo in one outfit, military style looks great combined with more feminine pieces that use lace, silk, ruffles or more neutral tones.



I settled on these faux leather lace-ups from F21. The patterned tie neck offsets the shoes, with a pair of navy shorts to pull it all together. Blouse: vintage (second hand), $1.50. Shorts: F21, $13.80. Boots: F21, $24.80.



Try more masculine boots with a loose tunic or summer dress. Add a cardigan and a belt, and you've got a simple outfit that is military chic. Vest: F21, $14.80. Dress: Zara, $69.



For ultimate comfort, throw on an oversized sweater with combat boots. Brown and black here isn't my favorite combination, but I'd love to see the dark brown mixed with mustard yellow or a nude tunic. Sweater: Moda International (second hand), $2. Bag: Deena and Ozzy, $15 (sale).
