styling an upcycled army jacket 4 ways

We love upcycling army jackets.

They are both neutral and still have a sense of unique style.

There are plenty of US Army jackets available at thrift shops.

But not everyone wants to wear a uniform jacket as it is.

So, we love adding bright and unique appliques to them to make them stand out from the rest.

But the styling doesn't end there.

With the new colors and styles incorporated into the upcycled jacket, new styling options emerge.

4 Ways to Style an Upcycled Army Jacket

Here are a few ways we would style this upcycled army jacket:

1. Neon Hoodie: the neon yellow outline of the lettering on this jacket makes a neon yellow hoodie a great compliment. It also brings the brightness to the front of the outfit.

2. Dark & Docs: some days you just want to wear dark clothes. Dark jeans, tops, and docs all go perfectly with a military-style jacket.

3. Black and White: This early 2000s American Apparel striped hoodie would go great with Seven brand flare jeans and boots.

4. No Top: If you can’t decide what to style the jacket with, you can always just button it up over a bra or go topless underneath.

With neutral tones, the sky’s the limit in terms of styling choices.

You could also go full art department and rock it with a black turtleneck and beret.
