Decorative elements are the key points of the military. An important part of the military image is bright edging, gold cords, patch pockets, shoulder straps, metal buttons or rivets, metal jewelry in the color of gold, silver and copper, belts. And if you want to make your coat more splendid, then use decorative medals and orders, stripes and lacing.

Buttons, braid, twisted as on hussar dolomans, belt, metal jewelry can change not only the silhouette, but also the style of the coat. A coat with patch pockets will emphasize the severity of the image and strong character. If you are attracted by a trench military uniform, then choose a straight and austere silhouette with a minimalist design, but if a ceremonial uniform, focus on the bright decor.

Which color should you choose? If you prefer to dress in a military style, then the coat should be chosen in dark blue, black, green or brown colors. Experimenting with color can create a unique look.

Even under Peter I, each branch of the army was assigned its own specific color. This means that even today, especially for women of fashion, nothing prevents them from dressing in a uniform of any color. The traditional khaki color looks good with pink, yellow, mustard shades, dark blue and black - in combination with red and wine.
