Fall 2010 Trends: Army Green


The most obvious trend of Fall 2010? Army (or Military) Green. It kind of all started with Christophe Decarnin's Spring/Summer 2010 RTW Collection for Balmain, though. A whole season before. But it was such a rejuvenated trend, many took it and ran with it for this coming Fall. I feel this trend is so simple and self-explanatory that I don't have to say as much as I did in my last Fall trend post. Let us just enjoy these collections with one of the season's most-casual colors.

Moschino Cheap & Chic had a Fall 2010 collection that kind of embodied every up-coming Fall trend. Very quirky and commercial. But out of all the looks in the collection, two stood out with the trend of topic. The components that make up the looks work very well together and are spot-on with Fall 2010 trendy-ness.



What do I love most about this collection? The coats. Burberry Prorsum brings great coats for females and males in the Army Green color. Fur collars and trims, oversized, gold button detail... I want to wear them all. The styling with black bottoms/boots to match the green tops is a constant in the show. It also extends the kind of "dark" style to match the trend.



The collection that started it all was Balmain Spring/Summer 2010. Christophe (still on that first name basis wish) projects trends as if it were his birth rite. Deconstruction, golds, army green. The trend was set off earlier this year, due to this show, and will continue through the Fall season.



The revival of this color from earlier this decade was a complete success. It's a casual color this season that has actually been a must-have the entire year. Let's see how much longer it lasts!
