Military Coat
Military style, implying a military direction in clothing, originated in the 20th century. Then a simple military uniform was worn by civilians and supplemented with world patches and holes to express their disagreement with military actions.
This direction also had a 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 clothing for civilians. So, wearing a military uniform, people also saved public funds, but over time, notes of military style began to be seen in the peaceful attire of the inhabitants. This season, women's coats, created in military style, have gained immense popularity.
Style features
Clothing in military style is distinguished by rigor, restraint and elegance of cut. Straight lines, a minimum of decor, thoughtful practicality and convenience of styles, conciseness of shades - that is what distinguishes the garb of military style.
Military style can not be confused with one another, because the density of fabrics and thematic stripes always speak for themselves. Often, military notes can be reminded by a world-famous khaki pattern or its shade.
Epaulettes, large sewn pockets with flaps on buttons or buckles, belts in the form of coarse twine or wide leather with a massive buckle - another distinctive feature of the military.
To suit
This may sound strange, but the military style does not suit all young ladies. The fact is that large parts, which are an integral part of such clothing, can put the figure far from being in the best light. In the case of a coat, you should remember a few important rules:
1. If you have sufficiently massive shoulders, then you should avoid models of coats with epaulets, as well as half-winches and trench coats. It is better to choose a model with visible elements in the bottom of the attire - a belt, a shiny finish.
2. For short and fragile girls, it is better not to give preference to a coat with massive shiny buttons, as well as models with ribbon trim. It is advisable to choose cropped and slightly flared models of khaki-colored coat.
Regarding the shades, we can say that the classic khaki colors this season have acquired red, blue, purple and pink shades. It is interesting that women's coat models do not always differ in military patterns - they can be monotonous.
3. Any model of a “military” coat, and especially a double-breasted one with massive shiny buttons, is ideal for tall and thin girls.
