We never thought we’d be taking style cues from Michele Bachmann but famous people and fashion sometimes make strange bedfellows. We couldn’t help but notice her white military jacket (possibly this one by Lafayette 148 New York) that she wore at Tuesday night’s GOP debate in Las Vegas (and previously at the GOP Presidential Pre-Debate Party). The jacket was just as odd and out-of-place as her political stance on A LOT of things but made us think back to 2009 when the Balmain and Michael Jackson military style jackets were the IT things to wear. So we wondered, is Bachmann reviving the look? And does that make her a fashion trendsetter? The jury’s still out on that one, but we did begin think about white military jacket trend for Fall and rounded up a few chic options that are a tad more stylish than Bachmann’s. Check ’em out:
