Here in New York we are right on the cusp of fall. It may be a few more weeks away but if there is any print that can bring you into this new season, it is the camo print. Before you relegate this print to your man’s closet, let’s chat about why this print is perfect for yours.
The camouflage print is just that, a print. Just like any other print this print can be layered with or worn alone. If you are wanting print mix a plaid print or linear print work best. In recent season there have been various colors of the camouflage print to hit the runways such as a muted print like this dress from Gap, as well as bold colored camo prints. Regardless of the one you are drawn to, there are a few things to keep in mind when styling this print.
Since camo can be a strong print, do not wear it head to toe. This leads into the next point of showing some skin when styling this print Feminine pieces such as a dress or skirt soften the look of this typical “rough” print. A high heel camo printed shoe can also be a fun way to toughen your look while being feminine at the same time.
Accessorizing just might be the key to pulling an outfit together when it involves camouflage. A small simple bag is best since the print can be a little overwhelming. Keep jewelry to gold or silver in understated pieces. Instead of styling this print with a chunky boot or sneaker, a feminine flat,sandal or pump keeps this look fresh and relaxed.
A few simple ways to ease into incorporating this print into your closet are a utility vest, dress or simple t-shirt. When you are comfortable there are always camo printed pants or jackets to try.
