The best camouflage print outfits for you to conquer the urban jungle

Army or utilitarian?

1/11

We might be celebrating our boys in green on July 1st but the funny thing about this particular print — like plaid, gingham or stripes — is that they you don’t need a special occasion to purchase a piece because they’re perpetually in trend.

And like any of the borrowed-from-the-boys-trend, you don’t want to literally look like it’s borrowed-from-a-boy, so here are 10 pieces that are the 2.0 of #camostyle (they’re slicker and slimmer).

They’re guaranteed to not make you look like you’ve leapt out of a ‘90s music video, but if that’s your thing, no one’s judging.

Quilted tote bag, $69.90, Zara.

Everybody loves a classic BBT (aka the basic black/brown tote), but for days where you’re looking for something that says “hey, she must be a stylish globetrotter” or if you just want to make sure you never miss your bag on an airport baggage carousel ever again, this camo one fits the bill.

Targo trousers, $96.90, Topshop.

3/11

These cargo pants prove that you don’t need bells and whistles to make cargo look modern: A straight leg looks slicker next to camo’s usual baggy and simply changing up the print makes it more designer and less army-issued.

Utility shirt, $59.90, Stradivarius.

4/11

Nobody’s saying you can’t treat camo like a neutral when it’s in a darker print like this Stradivarius one. Hint: it looks best when you pair it with dark washes of denim or something tailored underneath like wool trousers or palazzo pants.

Eres Aquarelle print swimsuit, US$360 (S$493.90), www.net-a-porter.com.

5/11

You might know of Eres aka the “Rolls Royce of Swimwear” for its second-skin flattering fit and how their pieces look good as swimwear or as a bodysuit. What you might not know though: While most people will tend towards black or brightly coloured swimsuits, be that cool chick in the camo one.

Crofton crossbody bag, $39, Timberland.

6/11

When streetwear brands such as Supreme and Off-white have officially made the SAF E-Mart utility bag a “thing”, it’s hard for us to frown on what was once a bag no one thought was stylish. The added bonus of such a utility bag are its exterior and interior pockets and an adjustable sling we’re sure you won’t complain about.

Rolled hem chino, $39.99, Cotton On.

7/11

The classic chino gets a camo upgrade that’s as modern as it gets: It doesn’t lose its utilitarian pockets (and they’re still deep enough for your phone and cards) and it has a relaxed fit that doesn’t pool at your ankles. Its mid-rise keeps it casual too but we’d advise you to keep it just for weekend wear.

Camo sliders, $18.53, ASOS Design.

8/11

Pardon the pun but anybody who wants to dip their toes into the camo print trend, these sliders won’t break the bank. Even if they’re not for you, they’re still comfy enough for you to hit the beach or pool with them.

Camouflage jacket, $59.90, Pull & Bear.

9/11

You might be intimidated at first by the fluorescent orange on this particular jacket but as long as you stick to this rule — this is the third colour you should be wearing in your outfit of neutral colours (white, black, navy blue or creams) — you’ll stand out in a sea of denim jackets and black blazers.

New Era 9FORTY cap, $35, JD Sports.

10/11

Another way to ease yourself into the camo print trend, the camo cap works exactly the same way as the sliders we’ve mentioned: If they’re really not for you, just use it for something else which in this case, are bad hair days.

Crew socks (sold in a pair), $20, Adidas.

11/11

Fact 1: No one is going to complain about having a new pair of socks especially when they’re as comfortable as the one from Adidas (they’re made from a stretchy cotton).

Fact 2: If you end up preferring the black version, we’re pretty sure the man in your life wouldn’t mind the camo printed one.
