Give a subtle salute to military details with a modern twist
Words and Styling by ALISON EDMOND

For a strict update to your fall wish list, a nod to military details and structured tailoring is key. A jacket with shiny buttons at Paul Smith; chic side-stripe pants done best at Alexander McQueen; sharp-shouldered cuts at Fendi; or Jimmy Choo knee-high leather boots — all are subtle salutes to winter’s celebration of cool uniforms as well as staple investments for seasons to come.
