For a couple seasons now, we've seen military, surplus and utilitarian-inspired looks on runways and on celebrities alike. The military trend was carried through during Spring/Summer 2010 runway shows as well, and looks like it's sticking around for a bit. Characteristics seen on military styles include epaulets, fold-over collars, mandarin collars, broad shoulders and brass buttons. Designers like Alice & Olivia and Current Elliot are sharing their military-inspired looks with the masses, as seen in a selection below.

For some, the look conjures up bad memories of high-school band. For others, it's a fashion-forward choice. What is your take on the military jacket? Yay or nay?
