Bored of the dark and dusty look derived from camo prints? Here are 5 stylish ways to wear the camouflage trend this season.
Camouflage prints can be tricky to wear but they input a strategic fashion statement into your wardrobe. And do we ever say no to an excuse to update our outfits? Never!
If you’ve seen how Olivia Palermo seamlessly styled her look merely with a combination of white shirt, camo shorts and strappy heels for the opening of a new Sephora store in New York just last week, you might have gasped at how minimalistic yet effective it was.
The camo print peeked through her chic number and it was a well-thought out getup that had me at hello.
So, if you’re wondering how to take the military’s camo wear straight into street chic wear that can take you breezily from day to night, I believe a scroll down is in order:
♥ camo pants
While camouflage patterns are originally made to cloak your presence, it does no use to limit your fashion scope with only dark and morose looks. Pop a bold favorite color of choice like neon or mustard yellow via high neck crop top, jacket and heels to go with your tapered camo pants.
Keep your clutch muted in a beige and black colorblock styling and put some shades on to block out the rays while you shine like the sun.
Overall Military
♥ camo overalls – Nasty Gal
Find a unique camo piece like a camo overall with splashes of abstract floral and wear it over a plain grey tank. Opt for a print on printed shoe look by slipping your feet into a black and white leopard style flats. Don’t forget the shades, the afternoon sun is an eye-wrinkle maker.
Adventurous Camo
♥ camo jacket – Flea Market
Instead of safely coordinating camo prints with strictly plain pieces, pack a style punch by mixing in a boxy white top with floral appliques and scalloped trim, distressed boyfriend jeans, and pointy pumps. Wear your camo jacket tied around the waistline like a boss.
Delicate Camo
♥ camo shorts – Madewell
A play of improbable juxtaposition is the queen of fashion styling much loved by the young and fashionable. Team a black lace top with a pair of camo green shorts for effect. Sprinkle your favorite jewelry and highlight the neckline with a leopard head chain necklace. Keep it feminine in the footwear department with a pair of ankle strap sandals.
Camo Over Skirt
♥ camo shirt – Carhartt
Layer a bold camo shirt over a plain flowy tank worn with a tight pencil skirt and strappy nude heels for a touch of laidback chic. Feeling a little hot? Tie the shirt across your waistline and wear it like an accessory.
