Trending: Camo Jackets & Chokers

The month of April was a 101 course in some major trends currently slamming the fashion world. First up is the camo jacket. Recently spotted on Maryse and Lana (I'm counting days 'til we see  Paige embrace this look too ;)), as well as Ariana Grande and Cara Delevigne, the look is an outgrowth both of the military trend that's been surfacing lately, as well as the reinvigoration of grunge. Anorak-style jackets are hot hot hot, but other silhouttes, including bombers are out and about as well. Camo makes a great pairing with other neutrals, creating an effortless tough-girl vibe.
Edit: check out Express and Urban Outfitters for several affordable options :)
Another item that's having a you-NEED-this moment is the choker necklace. A 90's staple, this look has recently been sported by both Renee and Brie Bella, along with Taylor Swift, Gigi Hadid and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Chokers lend themselves flawlessly to the low necklines of summer, whether v or rounded. They are available in a wide variety of genres, including sophisticated crystal pieces, grunge-leaning leather and braided cloth bohemian styles.
I've never been a massive fan of camo, so that's a trend I'll likely be skipping. The choker, however, I can totally get behind! It's a look I completely LOVE! Hint: if you don't yet own a choker, you can create the appearance of one by looping a long chain through itself and wearing it like  a lariat, but backwards. Alternatively, try a narrow scarf looped closely around your neck. Add a pin at the center for a bit of metallic or jeweled shine.
