Military fashion: women’s military clothing trend

Military fashion as a trend is nothing new, in fact I’ve been tracking its rise on Fashionising.com since 2008. But while fashion trends tend to burn out within a few years, the women’s military fashion trend isn’t going anywhere, though like all true fashion trends, in 2010 the military trend will evolve. Gone (but not quite) are the decadent lashings inspired by military uniforms of the Georgian and Victorian eras. Rather, military is now about functionality and utility. If the 18th and 19th centuries originally inspired women’s military fashion, then it’s true to say that in 2010 it’s inspired by the military uniforms of the 20th century.
Think functionality. Think understatement.

The Female Dandy: 2010 Women’s Fashion Trend

Over the past years fashion trends have largely been echoes of the 20th Century; we’ve revived everything from the 1920s through to the 1980s – even a bit of 90s most recently. So it seems natural that we should venture back further, and add a bit of the 19th century into 2010 fashion trends.
Masculine fashion for women takes a dandy turn in Autumn(Fall)/Winter 2010 – or rather, a more dandy turn. Building upon elements already big in past seasons – like the tuxedo trend and military fashion, the female dandy in 2010 is part Beau Brummell, part Oscar Wilde, and at times a touch of Coco Chanel.
