Embracing the Camo Craze
When you think of camouflage (camo) print, what comes to mind? A few answers might be military fatigues, deer hunting and—yes—Elmer Fudd. But savvy fashionistas have different answers: new colors, hot trend, street style and sexy—yes—sexy! Camo has come out of the functional closet again in the last year and hit fashion runways with a vengeance. More great news? No “fashion fatigues” here—the trend shows no signs of letting up. Not sure how to wear it while keeping it stylish? Try these quick tips.
1. Add a touch of femininity: By its very nature, camo print is masculine and a little bit edgy. If you choose a tailored camo shirt or jacket (they’re everywhere right now and they are gorgeous), add gold or silver jewelry or a crisp white blouse. Don’t try to overwhelm the camo since, after all, it’s the focal point of your outfit …just add some girly touches.
2. Keep the rest of your outfit simple: Yes, yes. Mixing prints is also a big trend this fall, but camo is not your everyday print. Combining it with something else dilutes the sexiness and it no longer looks powerful. Pair camo slacks with a simple black biker jacket and pumps or wear a camo shirt with jeans.
3. Accessorize with camo: Let’s face it—not all of us are ready to go all-out camo or you may not feel age-appropriate to embrace it fully. But you love it, so what do you do? Accessorizing with camo is a great addition to a neutral outfit and it doesn’t require a total commitment. Opt for a handbag like the Miche Gabby and you’ll look and feel sexy—with a little bit of edgy thrown in.
Fun :)
