Military jacket

Military is a style in which elements of military clothing were embodied, ranging from color to the use of individual details, such as shoulder straps, army buttons, chains, etc. The military is characterized by versatility, or the so-called unisex. The style is equally good for both men and women.

After the First World War, military clothing replaced civilian clothing, since many factories were redesigned to manufacture clothing for the front.

Getting ordinary clothes has become difficult. Moreover, often it was necessary to simply alter military clothes into everyday ones. Thus, the emergence of the military style can be called a consequence of the end of hostilities.

The factor of imitation also had an effect. Young people strove to liken themselves to the heroes of military operations and therefore gave their preference to clothing, which smelled of the war era.

Later, the style embodied the protest of young people against hostilities and world conflicts. The youth of America thus protested against the Vietnam War. Initially, old military clothing was used for this, on which signs and symbols of peace were applied.

Representatives of the hippie subculture wore military trousers on their hips. Thus, they emphasized that each of them may end up in a war, and it is necessary to get used to military uniforms now.

The combination of comfort and style of military uniforms was noted by designers, and in the 60s of the last century, models in "military" clothes began to appear on the catwalks of the world.

After 20 years, the style has not lost its relevance. Moreover, clear boundaries and specifics have emerged.The high-military direction arose. In accordance with it, the clothes began to resemble the military uniform of the highest command personnel. Wide shoulders were a must.

Popular color schemes were khakis, brownish greens, and gray-greens.

All buttons on jackets and jackets had to be buttoned.

After some time, the military acquired a certain softness. Some decorative elements in the form of a stand-up collar, a tie, an order, a belt with a large buckle have become acceptable.

Along with dense fabric, soft silk began to be used, which was perfect for making dresses.

Among the famous couturiers, it is worth noting Giorgio Armani, who presented his autumn-winter collection of unusual models in 2005. The source of inspiration was the military uniform of the Second World War. The models were distinguished by their conciseness and restraint.

Some designers began to use crystals and hussar epaulettes as decoration. The military acquired a touch of glitter and chic.

By 2010, jackets for pilots and sailors are becoming fashionable.

A military-style jacket must certainly have sewn-in shoulders, which will perfectly accentuate the shoulder straps.

From such a wardrobe item, austerity should breathe. A parka with a spotted camouflage print can be called a traditional one.

A special feature of the jacket is a stand-up collar. It has a dual function: decorative and protective. Looks great and weatherproof.

The waistline can be accentuated by a wide belt.

Parka - a warm jacket, usually with a lining. The model is distinguished by restraint and the absence of decorative elements. The presence of pockets makes it very comfortable, and its strength and color make it practical.

A down jacket in military strength can be either with a camouflage print or a plain one.

The first option is more "flashy". It will definitely make its owner stand out from the crowd, which cannot be said about a model made in one color.

In any case, the down jacket looks stylish and interesting. In addition, it protects against cold weather in frosty winters.

The fur trim adds femininity to the models and smooths out the sharp edges of the look.

An elongated or cropped model will perfectly fit into a casual look. The military style windbreaker is designed for those who value convenience, practicality and comfort.

Decorative elements (rivets, pockets, shoulder straps) add zest and chic to the model.

A trench coat is an intermediate model between a raincoat and an elongated jacket. The model is incredibly stylish. Very often it is decorated with two rows of buttons on the front shelf, patch pockets.

The presence of a belt with a buckle allows you to favorably emphasize the waist.

Leather jackets in the "military" style are borrowed from the pilots. The option can be both winter and demi-season. The models are laconic, have a zipper and hidden or patch pockets.

The shortened version is called "pilot".

The combination of a cropped black military jacket and a petite black dress makes a stunning effect. The femininity of the dress is emphasized by the brutality of the jacket.

If the jacket has several decorative elements, then the image does not need any other additions. Makeup should be kept to a minimum. Ankle boots or long boots of the same black color are perfect for this look.

A slim fit jacket is perfect with jeans or dress pants. Ankle boots or shoes are suitable as shoes. The best option is a cropped jacket that does not add bulk to the bottom.

A light, fluffy lace skirt and jacket give a contrasting combination. This look must be diluted with accessories that will make it more feminine. Jewelry in vintage style will cope with this task. Sandals with straps will help to complete the bow.

A military-style evening look is created using a basic khaki color and complementary black or blue colors. Black is used in trousers, whose belonging to the "military" style is emphasized by golden stripes.

A white shirt or top is worn under a khaki jacket. Gold-colored accessories and jewelry will come in handy. Shoes for such a bow are selected with low heels. Ankle boots are the best option.
