Trend Alert: Military Styled Denim Jackets (Huge)

Hello fashionistas, we are living in a mainstream world consisting of everything pop culture, where a trend can be hot now and cold tomorrow - which brings me to the discussion of the next pop craze,  denim jackets - military styled denim jackets. Today's Fashion Scoop will show you how celebrities rock the denim trend, while also pointing you in the right styling direction.

Celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna have both been fashionably guilty for wearing denim jackets while making many public appearances.


Rocking The Trend: 

Rule number (1): Never do double denim (ex. a pair of jeans with a chamboray/denim top). 


You're best bet would be to wear no other denim at all while wearing you're denim jacket - the point is to rock the current trend and bring out your edge with the denim jacket - forget everything else.


Rule number (2): Accessorize the trend, one must always remember to accessorize - a simple bracelet, chain, and handbag will kick some edge into your gear.


The best shoes for women to wear with this rock star image are booties with heels or knee-high boots that fold at the top.. Tip: Denim also goes well with leather and suede shoes.

Men can pair their denim jackets with khaki pants and leather sneakers, or military styled boots to match the image of the military styled denim jacket.

Is Mariel Haenn Hollywood's Trendsetter?

Many people are intrigued by celebrity wardrobes, the stylish outfits they wear, and many of which become a popular guide of fashionable trends for the general audience - which is why I want to focus today's Fashion Fix Scoop on celebrity fashion stylist, Mariel Haenn.

Mariel Haenn is one my favorite fashion stylists, she's worked with top notch A-list celebrities such as Jay-Z, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Meagan Good and now she's making quite a name for herself as well - she's currently the image creator and mastermind behind Rihanna and Ciara's fashion.

Based on all the ad-campaigns she's been involved in (Cover Girl, Sean Jean, Pepsi and etc.), her superstar clientele, and all the styling for fashion editorial she's done, it seems Haenn is pretty much Hollywood's trendsetter - respectively.


Working with such public figures not only puts Haenn in a position where she's not just styling clients anymore, she's now reached a level where she's setting fashion trends all over the world.

The military look and leather gloves became a major trend last spring/summer season, right around the same time of Rihanna's music video, "Hard" debut (you can also see Ciara is also wearing leather gloves in her music video "Work" as well).

It would be great to see Mariel Haenn behind the scenes while working with her major clientele, something like her own reality TV show would really do me justice - well that's if she even has time for that.
