A little uniform action from Thom Browne

Thom Browne gets inspired by military uniforms for his SS 2014 offering with jodhpur breeches and a sharp little black tunic jacket not unlike German WWII SS uniforms thinly disguised here as a naval uniform and not completely unlike the ubiquitous moto jacket... Even the grey number could pass for the feldgrau tunics worn by the SS, including the panzer corp.

Designer Thom Brown. Interesting sock!

here's the feldgrau uniform, greenish grey (yes, Joachim "Jochen" Peiper colourized!)

and here's the strikingly chic black version...

Same officer, different pose...

If a bit tongue-in-cheek, this is purely from a fashion and historical perspective!

referencing the uniform above, I was inspired by the silver grey aiguillette (plaited cord) that goes through the the right epaulette (shoulder strap), and found a slightly metallic silver grey mesh tunic with a plaited knit!  I know!!!

earlier on I had put together an outfit in similar colors, black, white and silver, utilizing another metallic silver knit top, teaming the ensemble with a handmade pearl button necklace that goes together extremely well...  Something so crisp and sharp about the black, white and silver combination!  Now for that cap... (just kidding)

Or these cool wide leg b&w gingham pants...

this H&M black crinkle camisole top

Add this black and white plaid shirt to the mix...

I also see it with this ribbed marled black tee...

black and white varsity jacket

rose print varsity jacket

polka dot varsity jacket

to keep it casual, this cream and black varsity cardigan...

and this sharp little pewter moto jacket to dress it up...

Retro grey round frame sunglasses

Silver aviator sunglasses

and I totally unwittingly got myself a London Fog feldgrau olive drab trench coat...

very classic styling...

the skirt could be dressed up with these peeptoe booties...

and these silver glitter jelly boots for a bit of glitz or rain ;-D

And on me!

Black holographic glitter gumboots with grey gore...

And on me!

or this white caged gladiator bootie sandal for contrast...

and these camellia sandals wouldn't look bad with the floral skirt either. This blog post wouldn't be complete without a bit of Chanel!

Coveting: an oversized moto or biker jacket coat

I love the idea of an oversized moto or biker jacket - or is it a moto or biker coat?  The sleeves on this one are quilted and then cuffed with matching faux leather from the body of the jacket.  Gorgeous and generously sized!  All it needs is a sharp little cap to go with it and it's like... uniforms for the vaffen ess ess, to be phonetic...  Hugo Boss knew how to cut a good uniform!

your standard issue utility jacket, like worn here for graduation as Officer's Candidate...

in better detail here, the Adolf Hitler on the cuff title is for the Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler.

and here's the Panzer jacket...
