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.

A bit of history
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.

The transformation of military clothing into civilian clothes clearly demonstrated the negative attitude of people towards the ongoing wars.

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.

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.

Peculiarities
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.

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

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.

What to wear with?
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.
