Camo Confidential

From London to New York, Camouflage has once again made its debut as the flavour of the month, becoming a part of the spring and summer 2014 fashion collection.

This season Camo is taking various forms from the traditional army style version to blue-floral Camo, simple Camouflage pockets and combining Camo with bright splashes of colour. Before adopting this playful trend, think about how much of the pattern you are willing to work into your street-style outfit and whether you are wanting to embrace the full Camouflage pattern or simply stick to the more conservative, chic, khaki colour. Camo print can be seen on trousers, shoes, satchels, jackets and hats. To avoid looking like you just walked out of the army or from a game of paint-ball, why not incorporate Camo more subtly into your outfit but still be a trendy fashionisto.
