btw. i can't believe how provacative i find those first robert cavalli boots.

Thank you for putting the essence of this look into words so eloquently!

I have to admit, I also love this look - and I am glad to see that this incarnation is not just a rehashing of what was done in the 80's.

There is a very slim possibility that I may embrace this look again given that nifty outfit Condie Rice wore to Russia (?) last year (black paramilitary duster with pencil skirt and knee boots - even at over 50 she looked classy, sexy and powerful. Pulled this look off very, very nicely, she did).

ditto, also in the details, the high neck, the decorative pockets..

agreed travolta

i find austere very sexy to wear

I love this Marni coat...it's a bit militant, but very classic as well.

And I'm dying for this Prada coat....

i love the new military trend.

IdiotGirl · 25-07-2005

I like it. I've also loved sharp clothing with definitive lines. But of course only tall and skinny people can pull it off in my honest opinion.

utopia · 26-07-2005

I think it is really lovely...it's really very classic though, not so much trendy, imo. though I it can be tailored to fit right into this year's trends, if done more along the lines of a period look this year - either edwardian or 1940's... with that said, I'm really feeling inspired by the structuring of 1940's women's military uniforms at the moment, after seeing a collection at a museum. loving the military colour scheme as well - grey and navy...

^ I'd love to see some examples of 40's women uniforms, I tried google but nothing appropiate came up.

Zara has great military jackets, I tried a dark grey coat on and it felt like it was the one, perfect sharp distinct collar, €180 which is a little above my budget

Then I found a shorter black jacket of really nice fabric, I shouldn't have tried it on as it's also a little too pricey. But, at least I'm really motivated to get a job now

GAP has a military style jacket it was kind of cute but I didn't try it on. I just love the buttons!

morgan38 · 26-07-2005

^I think I know which one you're talking about. I liked it a lot too and even tried it on, but it didn't look so good on me. Oh well.
