If you’re like me, you love camo print, but you also know it can go from super cute to super tacky REAL QUICK.
I love a good camo print as a pop to any outfit, as a subtle touch, or as a statement piece that inevitably makes everyone ask you “omg where did you get that?!” And with a mild camo obsession that’s lasted the past few years, I decided to share a few of my do’s and don’t’s when it comes to styling this tricky print, plus a round up of my favorite camo pieces!
CAMO PRINT DO’S:
Warmer tones: One of the best ways to ensure that camo is cute and not tacky is to skew towards warmer, “fall,” tones that have tans, browns, and/or muted greens in them. These are classic camo shades & won’t go in and out of style the way some other shades will.
Use them as a fun accent: Camo is a great statement print and is best styled alone as a pop to any outfit. Try a great camo jacket over a sleek neutral outfit, a pair of camo sneaks with black pants or leggings, or a camo pull over with plain pants & boots.
Invest in subtle pieces: If you’re not into making ~a statement~ you can always indulge in a subtler camo print; ones with all muted colors & very similar shades throughout the print are best for this look.
CAMO PRINT DONT’S:
No colored camo: Please for the love of god, unless you are a hunting pro or wearing a costume, please do NOT purchase colored camo. I know neon is “in” right now, but neon and camo are two trends that should NEVER go together.
Wildly varied in shades: Don’t get camo that has a wide array of shades within it. It’s too busy and it doesn’t look as chic when all of the colors pop too much and don’t really go together. I steer clear of any camo that is too overly saturated, because it tends to look tacky.
Overdo the camo: A camo workout set is one thing (sometimes…), but wearing too many camo pieces at once is a big no no. Honestly my #1 rule for myself is to never wear more than ONE thing camo at a time, but if you MUST, I’d recommend spacing them out (like one of the above pullovers with a pair of camo sneakers).
