It can be a real pain when stores put their best (sold out) pieces in their show window, and you realize that when you're wading your way through the racks.

And thanks, I love it too

It was part of their new stock for Fall/Winter, but I think they just did it to lure people like me into the store

I got this gorgeous Ralph Lauren button down shirt with epaulets on the shoulder and point-flap pockets, I love it sooo much. It's from the Ralph Lauren Purple Label and I got it for only $70 at the store in Georgetown! Such a deal sicne its worth like $295.

I have this old jacket that I think Im going to add epaulets too, just cause. I think Im gonna but boucle epaulets with a d-ring, that would be cool.

I LOVE military coats, especially the ones by Jean Paul Gaultier, Balenciaga and Eley Kishimoto.

Great thread Spike.

But hasn't military "style" been around for ages....... These types of coats, I've seen them around forever..... But yes, the new shapes are more refined, I like the cuts and the strategic placement of the buttons. Very modern.

 

[MulletProof]

love it.

i have a dark blue jacket with golden buttons, inspired by the Gaultier one..i immediately fell in love with the entire look when i first saw it. it's such clean and elegant trend, especially when paired with night dresses. also, i concur with travolta, it's kind of sexy . thanks for starting the thead, spike.

yeah, they've been around for a few years now..but in different shapes, types and colours think.

good eye mulletProof, it all started with Balenciaga and it sure is blooming for fw05.06

it is certainly a 'rising' trend much more with fitted jackets that look a bit like cheerleader or 'vintage' army clothes, lots of buttons, high collars, super fitted, sleeves with high cuffs and rushing on shoulders.. its cute, i like it

thanks for the thread but...
KINDLY POST CREDITS FOR ALL PHOTOS POSTED

I love this trend i have about 5 different jackets in this style, i love them with big shiney buttons. I also like ones with gold piping. They are so versitile you can were them with loads of things. Ive been wearing myn for ages though, i got my first one around about may.

 

[AlexN]

Yes, Balenciaga is the absolute best in military-esque fashion, IMO.

 

[Spike413]

^ Yes, it's all in the sharpness of the cut.

 

[vintage_princess]

A lot of indie bands have been wearing this style.

I love it too, i don't know if it would look good on me i'm too short. I want it tho, and it's too expensive.
