Is there anything more butch than the soldier look? Some might argue for the leather clad cow-poke, but the military type has managed to keep mossy green in style forever. So what are the essentials that keep this look fresh for Beijing's urban rich and poor alike

Choose a style for yourself. Military dress can be pop, sexy or sporty.

Never lose the tough, strong image. That¡s the spirit of a soldier look.

Camouflage is the main pattern.

Muscular guys can choose vests or tight T-shirts to show off their muscles; long sleeve jackets and camouflage coats go along well with slimmer chaps.

Girls who choose a sexy military style can try crop tops, vests, short skirts, and high-heels.

Boys who have long hair should give the army style a miss. Girls should wear pigtails.

Accessories are the most important part in military dressing. They make this style exciting.

It looks very awkward when you put on more than three colors in a military style. Styles can be various, but colors should never be more than three.
