Military style coat

The military style, which implies a military direction in clothing, arose in the 20th century. At that time, civilians wore a simple military uniform and supplemented it with world patches and holes to express their disagreement with military actions.

This direction also had practical meaning - during the First World War, the lion's share of the textile industry was uniforms for soldiers, and money was needed to create clothes for civilians. So, wearing a military uniform, people also saved public funds, but over time, notes of the military style began to be traced in the peaceful attire of the inhabitants. This season, women's military-style coats have gained immense popularity.

Military-style clothing is distinguished by strictness, restraint and elegance of cut. Straight lines, a minimum of decor, well-thought-out practicality and convenience of styles, conciseness of shades - this is what distinguishes the attire of military style.

You can’t confuse the military style with any other, because the density of fabrics and thematic stripes always speak for themselves. Often, military notes can be reminiscent of a khaki pattern recognizable all over the world or its shade.

Shoulder straps, large sewn-in pockets with flaps on buttons or clasps, belts in the form of coarse twine or wide leather belts with a massive buckle are another distinguishing feature of the military.

It may sound strange, but the military style is not suitable for all young ladies. The fact is that large details that are an integral part of such clothes can expose the figure in a far from good light. In the case of a coat, you should remember a few important rules:

1. If you have fairly massive shoulders, then you should avoid models of coats with shoulder straps, as well as half overcoats and trench coats. It is better to choose a model with visible elements at the bottom of the outfit - a belt, a shiny finish.

2. For short and fragile girls, it is better not to give preference to coats with massive shiny buttons, as well as models with lace trim. It is advisable to choose shortened and slightly flared khaki coat models.

As for the shades, we can say that the classic khaki color scheme has acquired red, blue, purple and pink shades this season. It is interesting that the models of women's coats do not always differ in a military pattern - they can also be plain.

3. Any model of a “military” coat is ideal for tall and thin girls, and especially a double-breasted one with massive shiny buttons.

4. Girls with small breasts should choose coat models with patch chest pockets, and ladies with a lack of volume in the hips should choose models with hip patch pockets.

But the coloring, which always differs in shades of olive, light green, tan and dark green, suits absolutely everyone.

In the fashion season 2016-2017, the following coat models gained particular popularity:

1. Models with pea jackets and a double-breasted collar, as well as elongated overcoats with synthetic winterizer insulation, giving the image rigor.

2.Models - redingote, which are fitted in the upper part of the product and flared in the lower. A slightly pleated back and neat vertical seams slim the look, while the stand-up collar, gold-tone duffle buttons and lapels add a touch of elegance.

4. Long coat models similar to a real general's overcoat, which will attract the attention of others and make the image unique.

5. Classic elongated parkas will be a salvation for active and original youth who want to stand out from the crowd.

Fashionable models of military coats are usually created from dense wool or other natural fabrics, but coats with leather inserts are especially popular this season. Various kinds of applications will help to dilute the severity of the military style, but will not reduce its charm and elegance.

In terms of length, there is a certain conservatism in fashion circles. Traditionally, medium-length models are considered popular, but if you wish, you can find elongated military coats and completely short ones.

Boots and ankle boots with heels with contrasting inserts, massive rivets and coarse clasps will add some elegance to the image. Youthful lightness will be given to the image by sneakers and sneakers, combined in shade with a classic military coat.
