From war front to the fashion runway! Last season’s designer collections were attacked by the camouflage print. Since then the crazy-cute military print is all over the place! We are witnessing the military influence on everything from shirts, parkas, skirts, shoes, tights, tops, and trousers.
Fall winter 2012 collections from designers like DKNY, Edun and Rachel Comey, appeared with different textures, prints and various fabrics and camouflage was one of them. Although the original military print has an edgy army streak to it. But all thanks to the designer who have transformed the way we use to see camouflage before. There’s something about camouflage that makes it both gritty and glamorous!
After limiting itself to the category of jackets and parkas during the first round of fashion weeks, camouflage caught fabrics like crepe, chiffon, georgette and even sequins embellishment. The military print is so versatile that it can amalgamate with almost all kinds of looks, be it ethnic or western.
Here are the top three coolest ways to camouflage yourself :
Old War Remains: If you are lucky enough to have your grand dad to be an ex army guy, then nothing like it! Old military pieces look even more rugged than the contemporary camouflage print. Dig up his old wardrobe for an authentic-vintage military uniform. Jazz up your old piece with studs and patchwork to work the latest style. Target pockets, cuffs or epaulettes and turn into a fashion soldier!
Play with the Print: Don’t restrict the camouflage to neutral shades only. Be upfront about mixing the signature camo print with new contemporary ones. Mixed-print is the latest news in fashion. You can pair it with a printed mini skirt or sequins embellished shorts for a downtown chic appeal.
Military Accessories: If you find the camo print too hard to pull off then you can always play with camo printed accessories like caps, belts, shoes etc.
