The key to a truly versatile wardrobe is stocking key staples in neutral hues – traditionally earthy colours, sand tones, camel, black, white and grey – no wonder the monochrome movement has been so indomitable for 2015 and 2016. So it might seem almost sacrilegious for Jiawa Liu and I to be endorsing a colour for the coming autumn, let alone green. But military green is not just any green. Its ever so specific desaturated earthy personality makes it the perfect new neutral to change up your wardrobe for the new season.

How to wear it? Trust me on this, the military green will camouflage right into your everyday wardrobe (pun intended). However, for an effortlessly put together look, keep the whole outfit to no more than two or three key colours. Reference these dark and muted green badass military roots with oversized utility pockets, then inject a modern touch with a sexy wrap skirt (for her) or a pair of powerful loafer with silver buckles (for him).
