Angela Scanlon

From Stella McCartney to Isabel Marant, it’s all about sportswearthis spring. Take cues from uberstylist Angela Scanlon who clashes herarmy jacket with a basketball top and Zara sequin skirt for a modernevening look with a sporty spin.

Buy now: Angela's jacket is from Shutterbug, Kilkenny or try Shutterbug's Facebook page for vintage military pieces. Urban Outfitters Vintage Surplus collection is another top choice for camouflaged army jackets.

Blanaid Hennessy

Do like Shutterbug vintagestore owner Blanaid and nonchalantly tuck a vintage sequin top intosome ripped boyfriend jeans. A khaki military jacket and Topshop heelscomplete this weekend-ready outfit.

Buy now: Blanaid’s jacket is Penneys (and no longer in stock) so try this River Island one for size instead.

AnnMarie OConnor

Stylist and presenter AnnMarie O'Connor teams her camouflage jacket with a slick leather skirt, killer heels and a striped Breton top for a contemporary cocktail look. Just add a punchy shade of lipstick.

Buy now: O’Connor’s army jacket is actually a Carhartt shirt which she got from the men's section of from Urban Outfitters, Temple Bar. It’s roomy enough to layer up as a light jacket!
