Why do authoritarian governments have such stylish uniforms?

Why do the "good guys" have military dress uniforms that just look like frumpy oversized business suits?

Will fashion ever be politically correct again?

Why wont my regime work?

Heres my budget


$3,000 weapons
$4,000 supplies
$5,000,000 uniforms and propaganda

We just lost another battle, what can I do different?

In every non-communist regime, aesthetic is a foundamental part. First, a dictator is usually someone with a great ego which wants his people to remember him, so a lot is invested into art, architecture and yes, military fashion. Second, you want to make it appealing for people to join ("sure, you won't a say in what i decide, but at least it will be a good ride").

Monarchist aesthetics>Fascist aesthetics

People already spend a lot on dress uniforms. It's not any more expensive to produce a pattern than actually looks good instead of something like pic related

I do not like the puffy pants.

...

Kings and dictators are basically the same thing, but usually dictators come from a military background, so you'll never see that shiny stuff on one of them, not in public.

Where is the aesthetic? Is it hiding behind the man in the ridiculously gaudy bathrobe?

Aesthetics are also very important to Communist regimes, Stalin was obsessed with it and countries like North Korea and China are still obsessed with it to this day. Order and uniform are very important to them.

Yeah actually I would say the two in the back round are arguably the most Beth's testicle in the pic

holy shit, disgusting

US uniforms look like shit, desu

you need to impress people to control them

That's not why they lost you cuntleaf.

>Beth's testicle
Fuckin Beth
>aesthetic*

That makes the uniform though, saddle breeches and boots

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks our troops look fucking stupid

disgusting

...

Shut up faggot if Hitler had won he'd be the king of Europe.

NVA is the perfect example of aesthetic uniform

Why do you constantly post cross dressing chicks.
Also, the authoritarians spent so much effort on those uniforms they lost the wars they started.

There's too much emotion in their faces for them to be a viable force

Women just can't do it like men do. I wish they'd just accept it

The puffy pants are a practical feature exaggerated for effect.

Look at any military cut pants, from modern BDU pants to Soviet combat uniforms The pants are designed to give room around the thighs and crotch in order to not restrict movement, then tight below the knees to not leave anything that could get caught on terrain, wires or other obstacles. This look is exaggerated for fashion reasons, and the high jackboots exaggerate it further.

I think it looks a bit silly but it has practical reasoning behind it.

Yeah I hate the US uniforms. They're what I'm referring to when I said "frumpy oversized business suits"

Greek women have proven themselves in every war. I am optimistic.

That looks pretty gay desu senpai

The modern breech cut is better looking and far more comfortable/functional imo

Combat uniforms can't be high fashion and still be effective I get that, though the Germans did a decent job at it.

But our dress uniforms need to actually look good.

True, but their uniforms are shit.

You guys are fucking stupid. They background (jacket) is a solid color to show off the accolades and rank, the blanker the uniform, the more of a peeon you are. So, instead of looking "kewl" you look intimidating/impressive compared to other people who haven't achieved as much as you. It's solely out or pragmatism. Then again what would the best military in the world have to say on the subject.

Because their goal is to project ruthless efficiency

Sloppy hipster outfits don't fit that image

Some exceptions apply.

Hitler could actually do something in his uniform, if that fluffy cunt had to do anything other than slowly walk down a red carpet she'd get tangled up in that stupid cape and pass out thanks to her corset.

that's more to do with communist economic model being unable to produce anything that isn't a raw material or a weapon

That's an American mercenary.

mfw there a whole jodhpurs porn section

I wish we had world war 1 uniforms

So to be a good background it needs to be an ill fitting, shapeless jacket?

...

There is a reason the word ponce is derived from the Spanish word for prince. He looks like a fucking queermo.

And world war 2

>a fucking firefighter helmet

holy shit, are you for real ?

perfect for pounding marmalade

...

The design of the French helmet in WWI was derived from that of local firefighters yes.

The helmets were trash though, why couldn't they just stick to the stahlhelm?

>tfw can't get your girlfriend into SS uniform cosplay

Because the devil doesn't show his horns. On the contrary, he's good at looking good and tempting people.

...

>not having firefighter helmes shaped light a Stahlhelm

...

because the BRD did

Fucking nips

Not impressed, people say that Fascist uniforms are "pompous" because of the way they're designed but showing all those sewn stripes and accolades looks even more pompous and gaudy af.

>Best Military

You mean decent-tier military which just happens to have the best toys, and an untouchable island.

>fascism
>the devil

Choose 1

German combat dress was garbage for deep winter conditions. An example of style getting in the way of function.

And Mongolia

Their officers look like theyre cosplaying as mid 1800s US cavalry officers.

>france
kek

the vert first military helmets used in WWI were fire fighter helmets

The simple suit of grey is all I need.

I fucking like that.
Traditional style that shows off the nation's cultural history.

Actually the strongest military by far. Now go back to taking care of your wife's son.

Nothing hotter than a woman in tall boots and riding pants.

Dude stfu. Everyone here is mad jelly of your fashy slavic state that's actually about protecting the interests of its own people, a rarity among european countries at the moment. You aren't the commies anymore, the Bolsheviks are gone. Putin made Russia great again.

Uniforms at the time didn't have a perfect fit on most soldiers, but I agree that the Confederate Army had the best and most varied Uniforms in American History.

ur fuckin gay

Only nazis made a "fascion" statement. Soviets, on the other hand, went for a modest and purely utilitarian approach. Asians just copied the west without doing much. Central Asians and Africans apply lots of fluffy and shiny stuff.

...

...

>fluffy cunt

kek

Is this really so hard to figure out? The people in charge of the US Military hate the people who wear the uniforms. Does the farmer dress up his cattle before the slaughter?

Because when you're going for average, you get average- which was the mentality of the Soviets. It should just function and nothing more. That's when you get crap like:
You get something better when you put effort into it, which is why the German forces looked good. It was a strive for something better and always improving.

The way you look and present yourself is always important.

Fucking army always looking like boyscouts
>And this one is my grenade throwing badge!
>And my "I pass the pt test" medal!

...

Modern Finn combat uniforms look pretty good.

How about this one? I love the early 1800 uniforms, gonna see if i can get some european ones.

I could see this being used in a Hugo Boss advert. Fresh 100 emoji sign etc

That flak looks like it sucks ass to use

this. You guys have medals for being able to visit the toilet without help and another one for cleaning your ass.

>medal for passing PT
You say it as if it were a joke.

underated.

They look like fucking train conductors lmao

...

The only decent looking American uniforms are the navy dress whites.

Oh Coo Choo Please. All aboard the Nippon Express!

it's for hiding traces of sea men

Why are dress uniforms even necessary? For showing off your pretty medals or whatever? Looking sharp?

I don't see why they ought to even exist.

You mean the vmi

i dont see why your country should exist

What the fuck is with those pant legs though?

I was in the Marines, I can't take the army seriously. Everyone's a spooper special snowflake with 47 different accolades. Just wear medals for fuck sake. Ribbons preferably.

...

those visor caps look pretty gay

See

Baddies are the best dressed

All the awards and shit are stupid I think. Only medals, rank and unit insignia m really matter, anything else is just messy clutter.

>Philippines
Tell us more about your relevancy to the conversation.


Oh wait.

For the record, I consider this fairly objective. The Russian army specializes in ground conflicts, while the USA is more about levied conflicts using ships and aircraft. That in mind, USA still wins. That gives you a good idea of how strong we are. We own the three strongest military groups on the planet.

You know who has the biggest navy? The US navy.

You know who has the second biggest navy? The US air force.

I have BDUs and they don't look anything like that.
