Think camouflage; we wouldn't blame you for thinking Bill Oddy, bird watching, and Bear Grylls. But this season, it's going to be a tall order to beat the trend of the men's camouflage jacket-as well as using the pattern on accessories, t-shirts, and anything else you can get your hands on-link this with some retro classics like raw Edwin jeans and Adidas Original trainers, and you've nailed this season's best look.
Take a look below, and find out how you can work camouflage into your wardrobe subtly, without looking like you're about to take a pounding on a paintballing range:
The first thing to consider is how much pattern you're wanting to work into your look-are you thinking of having a touch with t-shirt details? Or are you going to go the whole hog with a full camo jacket? One thing to remember- going for the latter will do anything but help you blend in.
We've put together a braver outfit- but it's something we reckon anyone could pull off.
Start with the
Carhartt Michigan jacket- using one of the infamous American work wear brands best jacket styles, the camouflage really sets it off and makes a huge statement of masculine style.
This jacket will give you loads of options. Wear denim underneath to add some texture- whether it's a denim jacket with a popped collar, or a neat chambray shirt buttoned to the top.
Try mixing your smarter looks with it too-there's nothing wrong with this camo jacket over the top of a white cotton shirt, teamed with neutral tie.
Next, we've included the
Carhartt camo pocket tee-dead easy to pull off with any look, but the perfect t-shirt for layering under the Carhartt jacket for the ultimate casual look.
You can wear this tee throughout Summer too-wear it with a pair of rolled up chino shorts , your favourite sneakers and a flat peak cap.
We reckon there's nothing better to link with camouflage than a pair of crisp, skinny raw jeans, so try these Edwin ED-80's for a slimmer fit- then wear them with a small double roll up. The dark colour contrasts with the lighter patches of camouflage, making them the perfect partner for your legs.
Avoid washing your raw jeans at all costs-this will help them develop a unique wash that no one else will ever have.
Chuck on a
Carhartt camouflage belt too- you might want to opt for something plainer if you're going for a camo jacket, but it works a treat at breaking up an outfit; especially if you're wearing your raw Edwin jeans and a plain shirt. This belt will give an element of bravery and interest to any outfit.
Finally, it's time to add a few final touches, with some heritage styling and a flash of colour thanks to some retro Adidas sneakers.
The Adidas Original Adistar trainers seamlessly blend the look into the street wear trend, whilst the classic three stripe and heel coloured detail match into the Nixon Timeteller watch.
Roll your Edwin's up past the ankle, leave your socks at home and let your ankles breathe. Then cuff your jacket and let the colour of your watch show-perfect for spring, and just the right accompaniment to the camo look.
