Putting together a brutal look: military clothing for men

Men's fashion, despite everything, is becoming more and more brutal. For most, looking rugged and military is a priority over showing off in T-shirts and meggings. Preference is increasingly given to a style that retains the idea of ​​a soldier’s uniform and the corresponding details. Of course, we are talking about the military.

A couple of moments from the history of appearance

The first fashion for paramilitary clothing was forced. In the post-war years, the shortage simply left no choice - they wore everything that was left in soldiers' factories or in their father's chests, gathering dust after the military events.

With the growth of production in the textile industry, everything was gradually forgotten, but in the 80s, fashion again allowed paramilitary clothing to appear on the catwalks, now within the framework of a full-fledged men's style.

After the harsh 90s, a new growth of interest in brutal military began. Today this is a separate trend in fashion, which has its own view of how a man should be dressed.

Characteristic features of the style

Military has distinctive features that make it impossible to confuse this genre with others. This:

1. Color. Khaki, earthy shades of green, blue and brown, sand and grass, as well as camouflage prints with various patterns.
2. Fitted style. Any piece of clothing, one way or another, has a more or less pronounced waist. These can be not only darts, but also a belt, belt and other attributes.
3. Angular rough features. Broad shoulders, straight legs, boxy details - all shapes have an edge.
4. Things are usually supplied large patch geometric pockets. However, outerwear made of drape most often lacks them, since it is difficult to sew small details from such fabric.
5. Rigid materials that hold their shape. Linen, twill, thick non-stretch cotton, denim - any fabric should be of high quality and durable. Coat - made of drape or cashmere. In women's military clothing there is a greater variation in materials, while men's clothing should consist of fairly coarse fabrics.
6. Characteristic paramilitary elements. The presence of buttons in a row and more, shoulder straps, lapels, lapels, different styles of pockets, lacing, belts, stand-up collars and other relevant details.

The main things in creating a current image in 2020 are color and elements. Depending on the type of style chosen, styles can vary greatly.

Types of military clothing

There are several of them. At first glance it may seem that they are similar, but the style of each has its own characteristic features.

Casual. The most popular destination in 2020. This may include casual clothes in khaki and similar colors, camouflage print, a small number of details characteristic of the genre. There should not be more than one or two military items in the image.But it is advisable to choose the remaining elements of the ensemble in a brutal theme.

Formalism. These are ordinary things, painted in camouflage print. For example, this could include boots or sneakers, beachwear, backpacks, bags, jackets, jackets, trousers and other wardrobe items that are not related to the paramilitary genre. It's just a decoration, coloring, fashion detail, nothing more.

Glamorous military. There is no room for casual here, only expensive materials and fittings. When dressing in this style, you need to match it. Ensembles are not for the trenches and soldier’s everyday life; this genre is intended for elegant, stylish and fashionable expensive clothes and their trendy styles.

Wardrobe base

Deciding to revolutionize your closet is easy. Military is external masculinity, focusing on brutality. Such clothing gives confidence in one’s own abilities, emphasizes the figure, and some details make it more prominent. Start assembling a wardrobe in this genre with the following elements:

1. Cargo pants. Loose at the hips, tapered at the bottom, perhaps with slight turn-ups. On the sides there are large patch pockets. A leather belt with a plaque is required. For bright looks, buy trousers with a camouflage print; for casual, unobtrusive ones, plain khaki, olive, or dirty brown are good.
2. Shirt. Simple straight style, preferably with large pockets on the chest. A row of metal buttons will add some color (simple, discreet ones are also allowed). When it comes to colors, it is better to choose plain ones; you can have double stitching and straps to keep the sleeves tucked up. Pairs well with camouflage trousers or jeans. Contrary to current fashion It's better to wear this shirt completely tucked in.
3. Boots. It is considered a military classic rough army, suede or distressed leather with laces and a wide round toe. For a brutal everyday look, choose plain dirty green or brown boots; for a glamorous look, you can probably wear camouflage. But it’s better to wear the latter with completely plain clothes.
4. Jacket. The choice is huge. If you consider a cool model, then you can stop at a windbreaker classic style made of thick cotton with a large number of pockets (on the chest are required, as a characteristic element of style). Shoulder straps, a stand-up collar are welcome, a hood, stripes and other details are possible. Color within the genre in question.
5. Lingerie. T-shirts and T-shirts, plain or with camouflage prints, are an integral part of a soldier's wardrobe. High-quality cotton and loose styles are a priority. There are no regulations regarding panties and socks.
6. Coat. Cashmere or drape double-breasted, mid-thigh length (pea coat, overcoat) will fit perfectly into casual wear. Paramilitary details are welcome - shoulder straps, metal buttons, for example. There may be no pockets on the chest. The style is desirable to be slightly fitted, within the style. The color ranges from khaki to black, of course, not camouflage.
7. Long shorts. Recommended: camouflage print, multiple pockets, belt. They look good with both a T-shirt and a shirt. In addition to shoes, try, for example, high-top sneakers.
8. Accessories. To enhance the effect, you can add aviator glasses, a wolf fang on a leather cord, a metal “personal badge”, a military-style shoulder bag, as well as bracelets made of cord or metal and other interesting details. It is imperative to observe the measure in quantity!

Tips for choosing clothes

It perfectly emphasizes the male figure, moreover, it can hide flaws. But in some cases, there is a high probability of “missing” the choice and the opposite will happen. We recommend paying attention to the following points:

1. If your hips are tight, do not buy trousers that fit completely around the leg and have large patch pockets.. This will further increase the volume in problem areas. It is better to opt for a loose model of a classic style with minimal tapering at the bottom. And no gateways.
2. Visually widen the shoulders and enlarge the chest Clothes with shoulder straps and large patch pockets in the chest area will help. Shirts, jackets, double-breasted coats, and jackets work great.
3. Increase the size of your biceps (of course, visually) a rolled up sleeve or a pocket with a flap in the forearm will help.
4. The choice of camouflage print imposes some restrictions on the image. It is advisable that there is only one piece of clothing in the ensemble with such a pattern. If you want to dress completely in camouflage, the pattern should be the same everywhere.
5. For a casual look, choose clothes with simple shapes in muted matte colors, perhaps with some amount of stylized fittings.
6. Don't wear pants that cover your combat boots. It is better to leave the top of the shoe visible.

In general, to create an everyday military look, you don’t need to dress completely in military clothes. One or two elements are enough, which favorably emphasize the brutality of the male figure.

Important! When buying clothes with any symbols, be sure to make sure that they are harmless. There is no need to provoke others with the insignia of the SS or other similar organizations.
