From rock to edgy-feminine to bohemian, the militant trend defines itself through gold detailing and ornate trims on military jackets, paired with skinny pants, foho prints,shiny leggings and strong accessories.

Menswear expertly tailored, curve-hugging suits and dresses, high collars, ruffle and bow blouses, waist coats, tailored vests, slim-cut jackets in both a double or single breast, hats, elbow gloves- this trend is a mixture of sharp tailoring and stereotypically masculine clothes, but all cut to accentuate and flatter the female body.

Collarless Jacket This streamlined cut still adds enough chic to the edgy look when worn with a wild tee or a chunky chain.

Thigh-high leather boots, jackets, leather shorts, leather skirts, leather gloves, and leather dresses- yes! leather shorts!
