We’ve seen the power of green return once again this season, with the colour landing itself a spot in our top trends rundown for autumn/winter 2015. Seasonally-appropriate and surprisingly versatile, this masculine shade will make a welcome addition to any cold-weather wardrobe. Here, we show you six foolproof ways you can introduce military green to your looks this season, along with the key pieces you should be considering picking up in the hue.

1. The Flight Jacket

There’s no surprise that the flight jacket works so well in military green, considering the outerwear style was originally designed for pilots in the US Air Force. Today, the silhouette’s timeless appeal and strong heritage remains, looking as rich and masculine as ever in the earthy tone. If, like most of us, you’re not an actual pilot, you can still work this piece into your daily rotation with ease – throw it on with jeans and a T-shirt for an effortlessly cool off-duty look, or dress it up with an Oxford shirt, slim-cut chinos and leather Derby boots for a superb high-low combination. Keep an eye out for styles with shearling collars to nail two key AW15 trends in one.

2. The Lightweight Parka

Another outerwear style with a strong military heritage is the parka, with the modern fishtail silhouette originally used to protect the United States Army from the elements during the Korean War. Today, the parka has been adopted by city dwellers and country explorers alike, who still appreciate the cover and protection it provides against inclement weather. An extremely versatile addition to your transitional season wardrobe, a lightweight unlined version looks just as good thrown over a jeans and sweatshirt combination as it does a suit for those brisk morning commutes.
