Defender of the Fatherland Day: military style

Send

Military refers to those styles that, even going out of fashion for a while, never lose their loyal fans and supporters.

If you want to surprise your defender on February 23 with an unexpected outfit, perhaps you should save air dresses and flying skirts until March 8, and this time give preference to a strict and mysterious military style image.
This universal trend originated as a protest of the civilian population against the war, which, in fact, gave it life: during the First World War, the textile industry of the countries participating in the conflict was reoriented to the needs of the front and supplied uniforms. For civilians, clothes were often not sewn, but changed from a military uniform, and a strict "officer" cut was traced in a wide variety of things, from children's clothes to women's robes.
In the second half of the 20th century, when another military conflict broke out in Vietnam, the youth of America came up with the most peaceful of all possible protests - through military-style clothing. For some time, the military remained the destiny of the hippies, but in the 80s the famous Dior and Louis Vuitton were shocked by fashionable foundations, releasing military-style collections. After this turning point, it was possible to say with confidence that the military uniform had found its deserved place in the wardrobes of fashionistas and women of fashion very far from the army realities.

Style features

The cut and details of the military-style clothing replica clear and strict silhouettes of a certain averaged and universal military uniform. Models complement all kinds of stylistic attributes: epaulets, epaulettes, large metal buttons, stripes, decorative medals, various lacing.

The colors, as you might guess, include all the “army” shades that you can imagine, ranging from khaki and ending with marine navy blue. However, if you try, you can find examples made in more impractical, "girlish" shades - powdery beige, pale pink, white, but this is rather an exception to the rule.
Fabrics are usually used quite dense, emphasizing the severity of the lines: hard and dense cotton, leather, denim, velvet, rough linen, tweed, twill.
The military does not require that absolutely all the components of your outfit belong to this style. On the contrary, it is assumed that, for example, a military-style jacket is combined with a flying delicate dress, but at the same time sets the tone for the whole image. This, incidentally, is an important detail - the military style in a women's wardrobe does not imply rudeness and deliberate rigidity. On the contrary, military elements are used precisely to emphasize the femininity and fragility of a figure.
