Women's Military Jackets Are Trending. Are You Answering Fashion's Call to Action?

A collage of women's military jackets, including a Hussar soldier, Jenna Ortega, model for Balmain Spring 2009, and models for Ann Demeulemeester, Dior Men's, Vaquera, and McQueen Spring 2026.

“I’m tired of living through historical events” has become a popular internet catchphrase. It certainly captures the feeling of being sentient in 2025 (see: more tariffs, fewer human rights, global political leaders squaring off in a will-they-won’t-they World War III). Tensions are high.

Fashion is responding in the best way it knows how: by making women's military jackets the archival silhouette revival of the moment.
