Modern menswear has a lot to thank the military for. Mostly, it’s the outerwear silhouettes that have evolved from functional combat kit to become everyday essentials – think trench coats, pea coats, safari jackets and bomber jackets.
But military footwear has also jumped the trenches and made a march for our collective wardrobes, with the likes of the summer desert boot being one such example. However, the style that has courted the most cachet with modern style is of course the combat boot, which has brought an edge to the luxury streetwear aesthetic.
