Military inspired everything has continued from fall into spring. And celebrities are obsessed with J Brand Houlihan Skinny Cargo Pants
($230). The have that army feel but are still feminine, thanks to a snug fit and zipper sides. But they still are cargo pants so do not wear them with combat boots and a backpack like Ciara. I like how Rachel Bilson and Khloé Kardashian wear theirs the best. The white tee and straw Chanel bag keep with the classic, casual vibe of the pants and leopard wedges make them safari chic.

Back in October, I showed six different ways to wear Charley 5.0 Denim Leggings ($165). Since then, I’ve worn the jeans too many times to count. But the tie-dye pair I received at a gifting suite sat quietly in my closet. I finally tried the pants during a girl’s weekend in Las Vegas. I actually felt semi-cute but they have not seen the light of day since. Unlike Ciara, I wore my Charley 5.0 Skinny Tie Dye Denim Leggings
($159) during the day with Steve Madden flats, which I think works much better to downplay the loud print. This week, mystyle gave Rihanna a Fashion DUI for pairing hers with the bright pink Givenchy sandals currently on sale at Neimans. The shoes are killer—just not with those jeans.

I’m going to New Jersey next week and it’s supposed to be about 50 degrees and rainy. I will be wearing jeans and taking a casual rain jacket. Is it too late in the year to wear boots?
—Iris, San Diego
It’s never too late in the year to wear boots. I sometimes wear my favorite tan Jeffrey Campbell knee-high flats in the summer with a pair of denim cutoffs. Plus, it’s 50 degrees where you’re going! For California girls like you, me and Jen Aniston that is turtleneck weather.
But if you’re worried about looking too wintery, wear something that says spring on top, like the pink blazer Ciara paired with her J Brand 912 pencil leg jeans or the Marc Jacobs jacket Rihanna used this week to brighten up Torn Jett J Brands and motorcycle boots. You can also go for a classic look like Hayden Panettiere did with a white button-down over Paige Premium Denim Blue Heights skinnies (the same ones I’m wearing in the pic to the left!)
If you go back east later in the year when it’s 90 degrees and rainy, you can get a pair of Melissa plastic flats. That way you can splash in the puddles and keep cool. Safe travels!
