When you think of formal attire, there are three general thoughts of men’s attire, such as a suit, tie,and so on; women’s attire, which is often an evening dress of silk; and any uniform. Uniforms are big part of fashion, though not everyone has the honor of getting the chance to wear one.

A symbol of pride, significance, determination, discipline, and nationalism, the uniform is both formal and casual-formal in public events, casual during military events, which can be quite ironic to come to a party in work clothes, albeit ironed and pressed worked clothes.

The idea of looking fancy is to wear your uniform, coming full with the iconic pockets and shoulder straps. However, the rest of the fashion world is getting jealous, and is taking a fancy form of significant fashion and turning it into something that is anything but fancy-casual.

How can you turn something fancy into something casual? Through postmodernism. Postmodernism is a slightly complex idea, but to keep thing s simple, when it comes to the world of fashion, postmodernism is what gave birth to the concept of “retro.” So, when you are wearing bell bottoms from the seventies, a tie die shirt from the sixties, or a dress representative to the roaring twenties, you are bring a retro theme out, and, therefore, you are being postmodern.

Generally, speaking, postmodernism is when modernism runs out of ideas and brings in old ones-such as what has been going in the military for generations: shoulder straps, for example. By adding shoulder accessories onto a jacket or a shirt, it is adding a military theme, a postmodern theme. Although fashionable, using such techniques are more casual than anything, and can, if done without moderation, take significance away from the military, the origin of such new fashion techniques.
