Photos show how much Muammar Gaddafi's wardrobe has changed during his 42 years in power. The former Libyan head of state was known for his outlandish outfits in bright colors and accoutrements. But he didn't always wear eccentric clothing. Gaddafi began his career in the army and was usally seen wearing his military uniform.
