Style Section: Military Chic

By Northern Star staff

Students are braving the last of the winter weather (hopefully) in cool and rugged military apparel.

Check out how some NIU students wear this trend below.



Abdulrahman Almoqitib, junior industrial and systems engineering major, wears a layered coat and hoodie and boots from Nordstrom.

“Don’t copy anybody, just be yourself,” Almoqitib said.


Graduate communication student Brad Carrera wears a gray military-style Calvin Klein coat and Clark boots.

“I just try to keep it classy,” Carrera said.


Danielle Wicks, junior early childhood education major, wears knee-high black Calvin Klein boots.

“You have to wear socks with them,” Wicks said.
