Legendary Style

The highly anticipated documentary This Is It is finally in theaters everywhere today! I am going to see it tomorrow afternoon and I can't wait.

As we all know Michael Jackson was know for his awesome dance skills, but the one thing that set him apart from all other performers was his signature style. This included the sequined glove, white socks, aviator sunglasses, fedora...and last but not least -- the military jacket.

Below are some of the military style jackets that were once worn by MJ. My favorites are the red and gold one in the front, along with the pastel blue one immediately to the right.


Military inspired clothing has been making its way back onto the fashion scene since 2008 with high fashion designers like Balmain, whose designs have been seen on many celebs. I think it's a 'classic' trend that we'll continue to see over the next few months.

But you don't have to purchase a Balmain jacket to get an MJ-esque look! There are many budget friendly military inspired pieces that can be purchased, and I've featured some below:


Arden B. Military Button Front Jacket - Structured yet feminine. I think it would look great paired with skinny jeans.

Forever 21 Soldierette Button Vest - This would looke nice with a long sleeved crew neck.



Dollhouse Bayard Peep Toe Platform - I love these...but I think it would be too much if worn with a military jacket. I think this would be great for a plain ensemble, so that shoes would be the main focal point.
Blowfish Silla Flannel Flat - A great everyday shoe.
If you haven't seen the trailer for the movie, you can check it out below.

Stay Bronzed and Beautiful!
