The evolution of military uniforms and its impact on the world of fashionGeneral George Washington assembled the first US military uniform in 1776 (Salute to Service - Uniforms military). Based on the red uniform of the British Army, a blue uniform contrast was created that continues to influence the design. With the continuous influence of civilian fashion and different environments, the uniform is constantly changing. Uniforms within each branch may vary based on rank and occasion. Key factors in design also include practicality, appearance, and whether or not it follows military personnel guidelines. Overall U.S. military uniforms evolved dramatically after the Revolutionary War. With this fast-paced evolution over the years also comes the ever-changing and growing evolution of the fashion world. These two different worlds collide with style. The intentions of men's and women's clothing have always been to keep up to date with current trends, capture attention and flatter. Fashion has one of the biggest impacts on our lifestyles. When the United States enters the war, new military uniforms and styles come onto the scene. The war affects the designs, fabrics and colors of current fashion trends. Occasionally some styles reappear in different forms during times of war. The core of the design and creativity comes from adding to the garments of the past. One of the main items of clothing constantly influenced by military style is the women's jacket. Jackets are most commonly used to keep a person warm, protect from the elements, and complete an outfit. For soldiers it was used as a means of protection against enemies during the war. There were a multitude of jackets created throughout the history of warfare. Each of them helped... half of the paper... our country live. United States military uniforms evolved greatly after the Revolutionary War. Not just changing your own style, but the style of civilian fashion and opening up new ideas for design in the fashion world. Many however are unaware of the military background of some of their clothing as it has lost its original meaning and developed modern use in our country. Uniforms originally created to make soldiers look elegant. Civilian clothing, on the other hand, follows the trend and is intricately designed to attract attention. The two, being complete opposites, have somehow collided to create a permanent impact on the way men and women dress, influencing the desire to dress more elegantly and professionally, also influencing musicians, artists and designers and the way in which they dressed for their professions..
