This isn't the sort of trend where rules should be laid down; it's open to interpretation and rich with possibility. In other words it’s a girl thing!

This season from the runways to design houses, the combination of earthy palette, olive greens and burnished neutrals, along with lots of smart utility features, clean cuts and a few flowing girly pieces are a perfect complement to all our autumn standbys.

So what’s the trick to getting this global trend right, without looking like we've been drafted? Choose your military accents wisely, mix and match that olive colored cargo with a soft floral blouse, or your broken-in combat boots, with an irresistible sequin skirt.

Here are a few looks to get you started, but remember there are no set rules to this trend so have fun with it and let your imagination guide you!
