SS25 Trend: ‘Army Days’, Military jackets, olive drab, and utility details

Several designers showed riffs on military and utilitarian styles during the SS25 runway season. While some designers, like Elie Saab served up traditional looking versions of army looks, others, such as Versace mixed things up adding utilitarian details with other contrasting styles.

Here are ten looks from the recent SS25 shows.
