“The Brigade” was accused of romanticizing crime bosses, calling it a “crime against Russia” and saying it was drawn by real gangsters’ money. However, all this did not prevent the series from becoming a symbol of the dashing era of the 90s and being quoted. We all know what to say when we see a Lincoln car, why a dog is man’s best friend, and what the correct answer is to the riddle “winter and summer are the same color” (and yes, it’s not a tree). And the friendship of Sasha Bely, Kosmos, Pchela and Phil has become a real standard for many young people.
However, the series was remembered not only for its plot, but also for the style of the characters, which could very accurately reflect the spirit and street culture of that time. Sasha Bely’s leather trench coat, Pchela’s beige jacket and Cosmos’ oversized knit sweater – these were essential elements of the on-screen gangster’s wardrobe and were firmly entrenched in them.
His images do not lose their relevance to this day. Lately, nostalgia for the 90s is growing exponentially in every aspect of life, and the fashion industry is no exception. Oversized leather jackets, wide-shouldered men’s coats, and of course the Olympics (reflecting the culture of our skirts). Now we see all this in shows by Balenciaga, VTMTS and even Louis Vuitton, as well as street style heroes and popular girls. But we invite you to enter the gangster era of the 90s with the help of the classics of Russian cinema and see what our favorite heroes were wearing. Moreover, the situation is quite favorable – today the series “Brigada” is exactly 20 years old.
Black trench coat like Sasha Bely

Leather products are one of the main trends of this season. At the fashion shows of the autumn-winter collections, the designers relied on rough, worn embroidery, and during past fashion weeks in London and New York they decided to stick to the classics. So a black leather trench coat like Sasha Bely’s is a must-have.

beige jacket like a bee

Autumn without a beige jacket is not autumn. We recommend that you prefer men’s models with a cut to the floor and wide shoulders. About the same as the bee.

Knitted sweater like Cosmos

Cosmos went to criminal meetings only in tight suits, but in ordinary life he preferred comfortable sweaters and turtlenecks, combining them with classic coats and trench coats. Beware, Cosmos doesn’t give bad advice.

Phil’s Harrington Jacket

Phil is the most humble and non-confrontational of the company. He wasn’t wearing leather jackets, formal coats, or sassy alcohol T-shirts. But there was a lot of sporty style in his wardrobe, and Phil Harrington adored his jacket. And this model is a timeless classic. It can now be worn with cargo, even with classic jeans.
