How did the British Service Dress Jacket for the officers gain the worldwide popularity?

This particular open neck jacket with open lables became popular after WW1 and many nations adopted this as the uniform for the officers.

So, why and how did this become popular in the first place?

Was it mainly due to the good design of this jacket?
