Coats, jackets and blazers that reference a military or band look are really big for Fall 2009. We've been seeing a lot of this trend in the wake of Michael Jackson's death, as well as following Balmain's Spring 09 collection (not surprisingly, Balmain designer Christophe Decarnin was influenced by the late King of Pop and other '80s icons). If you don't own one already, scoop up an affordable military jacket to spice up a simple t-shirt and jeans combo, or to toughen up a cute dress. I feel like these never go out of style as long as you stick to a clean design that isn't too costumey. I'm a fan. Are you?

Thrifting is also a great way to find a military style jacket—some great looking vintage ones out there. Etsy too!
Anyone know if it's still available?
