Today I want to talk about a style that is being given in great magnitude in international catwalks, especially in the renowned fashion house Balmain, which is characterized by following a line with elegant colors and cuts, and has shown a great liking for the Military style.

When I speak of military, I do not refer only to the clothes with camouflage print, but I mean all kinds of pieces that remind us of military uniforms, whether they are jackets like the one I'm using in photographs, or shirts, pants, Or others that are within this style.

This style gives us elegance immediately, generating in our outfit a different proposal but ideal for semi formal events. This jacket gives us character and strengthens our image, if we want to make a difference in front of others, this is a great option.

Golden buttons are classic in military uniforms, which is why we must take care of the combination of colors next to this type of jackets, so as not to obscure this distinctive seal they possess, but to focus attention on them.

One way to enhance this color point is to be coupled with sober and neutral colors, such as black and white, where the style of the jacket next to its buttons will be highlighted in the first instance. In addition, it increases the intensity and luminosity of our outfit, which is very important if we want this to be the protagonist of our set.

Recommendations: This style of jackets is ideal for semi formal events due to its details and finishes. It is best to use it together with semi formal garments, ie it is not advisable to wear jeans or sneakers with this line of jackets. It will enhance our image if we use it with a pair of trousers with design, and some black boots or relatively formal shoes.
