Do you Camo? Camouflage that is! There is no hiding from camouflage this spring. This military inspired print is popping up everywhere and like Leopard never really goes out of style. As early as I can remember I have always had a thing for military inspired stuff, like watching the late reruns of Mash to playing with GI Joe to even picking out a camo t-shirts to sport during summer camp. This season there is no wrong way to wear this trend. Rather than playing “hide and seek” with this print, I’m going to help you come out of hiding by giving you 5 ways to wear fashion’s it trend!
MODERN DAY COOL
Think camouflage print shirts, jeans, pants or shorts are all great ways to start incorporating this look. The key to wearing this is all about the fit. Unless you want to look like your going to combat go for more fitted garments like skinny pants, jeans, shorts, and tops.
STYLE TIP:NON STANDARD PRINTS: Besides making sure you have an amazing fit, take it up another notch by looking for non standard camo designs. This could be something as simple as the finish being metallics, sequins, mesh, or sheer rather than typical khaki print. Here are links to get this look:

EVENING GLAM
Want to throw a curve ball at your nighttime look? The easiest way to do this and turn heads is through a camo style dress, skirt, romper, or slinky top. STYLE TIP: ADD FEMININE PIECES: Since camouflage prints are on the masculine side, it’s important to add feminine pieces when wearing this look. Some great options are heels, jewelry, sequins, pleats, lace, or anything else that screams girly. I applied this style technique to the strapless dress that I wore by adding a coral and gold necklace and heels. Here are links to get this look:

EVERYDAY CAMO
No longer are camouflage print jackets reserved for the army and hunting, instead they are at the forefront of our season. Think more fashion dynasty, less Duck Dynasty. In new colors and styles, camouflage jackets are the ultimate everyday staple item for spring 2014! With so many ways to wear them and an array of prints and patterns, camouflage jackets are here to stay; no hunting or fighting required, just an eye for style!
STYLE TIP: VERSATILITY: Choose a style that you can wear beyond a statement coat. It’s important that you can wear this more than once or twice. STYLE TIP 2: POLISHED: Besides choosing a style jacket that is versatile, it’s important to make sure you don’t go too big in size. Forget the notion that military inspired jackets are worn bigger; today you should look for a more tailored fit. Aim for an overall polished look when wearing this jacket. Since the print is already tough and rough, choose pieces underneath that are polished and simple. Here are links to get this look:

BRIGHTEN UP
Not a fan of your typical camouflage print? Designers have dropped it’s classic color scheme of brown and green, favoring something fresher, louder and admittedly more exciting colors.

MINIMAILIST
If you are not exactly feeling this trend try adding it in small doses, such as the accessories. Camouflage print handbag, or clutch would be a fun choice in addition to watches, scarves, jewelry, and shoes.
STYLE TIP: NEUTRAL COLOR PALETTE: These accessories often pair well with neutral color ensembles. Also, with that in mind, remember to use the camo accessories as a highlight to your overall look, so pairing with neutral color clothing will create this effect. Here are links to get this look:
