Military Jackets – A Style Of Its Own
What’s the name of the bearer of the most recognizable style in the history of pop culture? I can give you a hint — a red grid military jacket.
Yes, the same worn by the unforgettable and irreplaceable Michael Jackson. No doubt, his style was a huge part of his success, and now designers use that item in their shows and, in their turn, such celebrity outfits as that of Beyonce, Rhianna or Victoria Beckham bring that style back to life. Why not follow that trend yourself?
You can chose from various types of old military coats and jackets, beginning with modern women’s leather coats with high collars, aviator-style leather bomber jackets and ending with grid, constable jackets and tunics with piping.
This style is very practical; it’s suitable for both men and women and accentuates both the feminine and the masculine in its own way. For men they make a great addition to even the most classic style. Of course jeans look great with this style.
Women can successfully combine the short versions of grid jackets with short cocktail dresses, shorts, and pants. All types of leather jackets turn a women into a sexy wild thing, no matter with what. They rock! Only depending on the clothes you wear with it, your looks can range from casual to very sexy. But don’t overdo it with leather — too much and you will look like you have a fetish.
Don’t forget the accessories. If you have chosen a grid jacket or one with piping, be careful, the effect will be spoiled if you wear, for example, white sporting shoes with it. Better put on boots.
About jewelry: these jackets usually have golden or silver buttons, so choose earrings or necklaces of the same color to match them. The same goes for women’s evening shoes — silver or gold are perfect!
If you have settled on a retro style bomber or biker jacket, you will not have many problems with completing your look. The only thing you need are maybe 80s sunglasses like aviators and the right hairstyle.
The advantage of military jackets — leather or otherwise — is that you can always wear them for any season — winter, autumn, spring and even summer, though spring and autumn are ideal for enjoying leather. Luckily it is spring now, so don’t miss the chance! Make the best of the season and the best of your style.
