From Curtis's book on Saint-Just, he mentions that he often wore a blue double breasted coat, with large brass buttons, and riding breeches, and riding boots. As he was a very outdoors type, his best times were helping the army. So, I can defiantly see a military influence in his clothing.
Saint-Just's clothes should look like he can get on a horse at any moment and command an army. ie: one can wear them in action, unlike Robespierre's. Robespierre horseback riding...I'm have trouble imagining it.
From paintings, I've noticed that often the breeches had a tricolor ribbon at the end (right before the socks/tights begin) For breeches and stockings, one can always just take tan colored pants, and tuck them into a pair on knee socks.
I've got some drawing/studies I've done of various Revolutionaries, and their clothes. (Costuming is a bit of a hobby) I'll post them to revolution_fr.
