A bit of history
After the First World War, military clothing supplanted civilian clothing, since many factories were redeveloped to manufacture clothes for the front.
Buying ordinary clothes was not easy. Moreover, it was often necessary to simply alter military clothes into everyday ones. Thus, the emergence of a military style can be called a consequence of the end of hostilities.
The factor of imitation also had its effect. Young people sought to assimilate themselves to the heroes of hostilities and therefore gave their preference to clothing, which blew a military era.
Later, the style embodied the protest of young people against hostilities and world conflicts. The youth of America thus protested against the war in Vietnam. Initially, this was done using old military clothing, on which signs and symbols of peace were applied.
The transformation of military clothing into civilian clothing clearly demonstrated the negative attitude of people towards the ongoing wars.
Hippie subcultures wore military thigh trousers. Thus, they emphasized that each of them could be in a war, and it is necessary to get used to military uniform 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 became apparent. There was a direction of high-military. In accordance with it, the clothes began to resemble the uniforms of the higher command personnel. It was obligatory to have broad shoulders.
Popular colors were khaki, brownish-green and gray-green tones.
All buttons on jackets and coats should be buttoned.
