Military gear is designed with one purpose and one purpose only — functionality.
While blending in with a surrounding environment or staying warm are the biggest functions for a soldier's attire, they're also very fashionable.
With fall right around the corner, incorporating a military-inspired jacket in your wardrobe will bring you the best of both worlds, in terms of function and style.
Whether dressing casually or professionally, there are plenty of military-inspired jackets out there that are perfect for fall.
From aviators and bombers, to peacoats and field jackets, military-inspired attire is a must for your fall wardrobe.
Check out 9 of the best stylish military-inspired jackets below:

Alpha Industries MA-1 Blood Chit
Bomber or flight jackets are one of my favorite outerwear styles to wear in the fall, and Alpha Industries makes the best one I've worn. The brand is known for its authentic military style and the MA-1 Blood Chit is a testament to that.
Inspired by the Vietnam War, this bomber features the "Blood Chit" flag on the inside. The flag was worn by soldiers and contained a message in several languages to identify an airman as a U.S. Aviator. If they were shot down, the Blood Chit asked to aid the airman in avoiding capture and in being returned safely to U.S. Forces.
Alpha Industries MA-1 Blood Chit, $150
Topman Camo Print M-65 Field Jacket
The Topman Camo Print is a fashionable take on the classic M-65 field jacket. It features a distressed woodland camouflage pattern, four front pockets, a Velcro chest strap for patches, and a drawstring waist.
