even knightly fashion took from their military garb
well depending on the time period at least keep in mind that from the early milites of the Carolingian empire to the knight in title only at the end of the ancient regime you are talking about more than a thousand years
things like puffed jackets where inspired by the arming coats worn under chain and then later plate and brigantine
brigantine in and of it's self was a mixing of armor and fashion
when plate armor was developed you had a lot of artistic and fashion expression in those as well especial with the high nobility but even lower nobility and even men at arms would have embellishments made to their plate
this is skipping over things like helmet decoration, heraldic design, outfitting you men at arms and a dozen other ways in which fashion and armor cross pollinated over those thousand years
heck even the tie you wear at formal events is derived from the scarfs worn by eastern light cavalry
