Favorite Uniforms

[Vintage lover]

I was wondering what some favorite uniforms of the lounge are. I personally like the look of the Uniforms of the First Napoleonic Empire, as well as the American Uniforms used in the Spanish American war, specifically the use of mandarin collars.
Here is a website with lots of Napoleonic Uniforms for reference

This is a tough one. There are so many great looking uniforms throughout history that to try and pick one or two is difficult. If I had to choose, I particularly like the militaria of the Roman republic around the time of Julius Caesar. When you had a high ranking soldier with all that regalia and colo and the red crested helmets, I think that is the best. Then again, I did study Latin in high school for 3 years.

If I had to make a number 2 choice, I would say the English uniforms of the medieval period with all the colors and coats of arms.

SoWesPac khaki for me--still practical and professional, and far enough from "current issue" to be viable for everyday wear (as long as the wearer conducts themself appropriately) even around large military bases like the newly merged "Joint Base Lewis-McChord"*snort*.

Although not a uniform as such. American Indian warriors looked amazing.
I agree Napoleonic (Calvary in particular) looks good as well.

But I vote for the Greek Hoplite.

I have to go along with General Patton. I think the German uniforms of WWII are the best. My favorites are Luthwaffa and one that I don't want to get any flack over.

On German WWII Uniforms, it is my understanding that Hugo Boss was the designer of the SS uniforms, but I am not sure about other uniforms of the Reich.

My favorite is the WW1 U.S. Army Officer's uniform.
