Coldplay School
While Chris Martin's attire at recent Coldplay gigs has left my husband thoroughly unimpressed, it has left me feeling quite the opposite. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a military look? Or his handsome face? Or his seductive voice? I don't know...but I feel pretty sure that I like his punky, colorful take an army clothes too.

I love the military look like this, I've been looking for a while for a good military cut jacket but it's hard to find them that look right.
In an age in which most current bands have no visual - let alone musical - identity, Coldplay (or Chris Martin - he IS the band), are smart enough to incorporate a little role-play fantasy into the theme of their latest album. It's certainly nice to see costumes back in rock, a medium which has its roots in non-conformity and freedom of self-expression.
