Utility Jacket | Black Denim | Loafers (save), (splurge)
Earrings | Necklace | Aviators (save), (splurge)
This green utility jacket has been one of the most worn staples in my closet for years. The military jacket trend seems to keep coming back every season, and I can see why. It’s a great alternative to a denim jacket, and even though it’s a neutral, it gives your outfit a little color. You can pair it with virtually everything from layering over a tee and leggings for a casual look to over a floral dress for an unexpected combo of masculine and feminine. For today’s outfit, I decided to pair my green utility jacket with all black. See more ways I styled my utility jacket here, here andhere.

Very cool look – love how the sunglasses complement the jacket.
Nothing beats a great utility jacket! I love the leopard flats too! Great look Jill!

I love my military jackets even if I haven’t worn them much this year.

Love the utility style. I’m after a light coloured jacket just like this. xx
Wow that color is stunning! Very intense! Thanks for hosting!
I’m so glad these jackets are staying strong. I love them. I know how one in camo as well, but my solid green one is oversized and trickier to play with. Love how you styled yours Jill! 🙂
I love this cool jacket and I adore the leopard flats with this look. It’s such a nice contrast and so chic! Thanks for the link up Jill!

Such a super cute look, Jill! I have a utility jacket and vest and I love both dearly! I love how you styled it with all black and then the pop of leopard from your flats!

I am a huge fan of utility jackets! I just love this head to toe!!
I have those same leopard loafers and they are SO good! Love them paired with the olive!
You would laugh if you saw what I was wearing in real life today (actually it’s in my IG stories)…my olive green utility jacket!!!
Great minds think alike.

I have those loafers too and I swear, I get the best use out of them every fall/winter! They are packed away for me at this point – suddenly we’re in the 80’s lately?! The weather has been so bizarre 🙂

I can’t wait until we can wear lightweight jackets like that again! I love this all black look and those fabulous loafers!
I love how versatile utility jackets are! I’m already wearing mine this spring, just like you!
I hope you have a fabulous week!

I love green military jackets. I’ve owned several over the years and that is because for some reason I end up selling said jacket then immediately regret and find myself repurchasing another. This time round, with sustainability in mind I am going to make sure I buy a keeper

Thank you so much Julie! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!
I love the olive military jackets and I may have to get one – this outfit is great and so casual but stylish and a great way to keep from being an all-black outfit. I realized I have all of the pieces to recreate this look, (down to the earrings and necklace!) though my jacket is a light-ish navy blue and I’m not sure it’s really military styling….but kinda. I love it with the black pants and the leopard shoes (how have I missed those at Target? Well, I have two pairs of leopard flats so I probably didn’t need to be looking at another pair). And aren’t aviators the only way to go with that look? Thank you so much for the linkup!

I think the drawstring waists that utility jackets have gives them a nice (maybe more feminine?) look.
Such a smart jacket! I do love the pine green color too. Ive got ON black jeans and havent worn them as much- i should get on that! I do love that you leopard flats are pointed, they look great.
thanks for linking!
