In honour of St. Patty's Day, I thought it best to leave the green beer to the frat boys and instead, focus my consumptive energies on the green hue du moment: army. Since fashion always reflects our current culture, you are going to see camouflage and army references everywhere this spring. Avoid uber-trend burn-out by embracing the softer side of military chic as seen at Stella McCartney, MaxMara and Chloé. Subtly salute the trend by sticking with neutral shades of khaki, army green and hints of gold but keep fabrics soft, relaxed and sweet. Not exactly your stereotypical drill sargeant but hey, we're all about love, not war.
