Call it recession-minded design, but this year's crop of military looks was less flamboyant and more austere than in recent years. Rather than a show of conspicuous epaulettes, fringe, and an overflow of gold buttons, the traces of regimental style can be seen in color, details, accessories and outerwear. Don't get us wrong, gold buttons and large collars (with and without fur) were present, just in a slightly more serious way. And it wasn't just American military style that was celebrated, a taste of Eastern Bloc fare was present as well. Feast your eyes on our favorite iterations of what is now becoming a runway mainstay: military chic.

The Coat
The ultimate appeal of military style is its androgyny and tailored shapes. When a garment is fitted to your body, defining your waist, your shoulders, the length of your arms, you simply look more put together – and that goes for virtually every body type. A coat like this does the trick, nicely. Its clean lines and tailoring will pull together the most casual outfit.

The Collar
An officer's jacket, a la double breasted gold buttons, isn't the only way to do military. Shearling lined coats are reminiscent of one of the bravest positions in the services: fighter pilot. Put it over a maxi dress or a pair of classic blue jeans, a pair of chunky ankle boots will bring it all together. The luxe fur collar is very this season.

The Dress< /h4>
Victoria Beckham knows how to create a sexy body-con pencil-skirted dress like nobody's business. She is one of the go-to designers for elegant restraint. Notice how she adds just a touch of military style without going overboard. Take a lesson and keep your military apparel simple and chic.

Part Deux
In case you needed another example of pared down military style, this coat from Beckham is exactly what we're talking about. Try a military color other than army green. Camel is a refi ned choice indeed.

The Cape
This cape and cap combo can only call to mind one thing: homage to public service, not just in house, but abroad too. Try the same mix for a show-stopping look that will turn heads.

The Belt
Not into buying a new piece? Or want to stick to something less costly than a new winter coat or frock? Pull out your cargo jacket and your favorite medium-width leather belt. Now put them together. Thank Marc Jacobs for the low-key, on-point pairing.

The Jacket
This jacket has military tailoring and details, with the standout hardware, but includes blazer elements too. More evidence that this year military has gone a bit more subtle. Try a jacket that includes a bold zipper or pockets with outer flaps to emulate the look.

The Bag
Crossbody bags are available in every shape, size, and material/skin. From evening to casual, they're everywhere. And they shouldn't be confused for a military-esque messenger. More solid, structured, and bigger than your typical crossbody, it's one way to infuse this “trend” without breaking the bank on an entirely new outfit.
