Camo has been a huge trend over the past year and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.  I mean, we all saw JT rock the superbowl in his camo get-up.  I held off and fought it for awhile but every time I see it styled I just can’t help but like it more and more.  Originally from New Brunswick, Canada, I often saw camo worn year round but it was always in the form of hunting gear.  This kind of ruined my take on camo being stylish and is why I held off on the trend for so long.  But fear not – I have come to love the trend and am here to share how to wear camo this spring without looking like you are about to go on a hunting trip!

Structure

Finding a piece that is structured is an easy way to wear camo without looking sloppy.  I love this utility jacket that I snagged last week.  A layering piece like this can make so many outfits (Stay tuned – next week I will show you 4 ways to wear this jacket!)  It has a drawstring to cinch the waist, giving you some shape, and the lapels and collar are stiff enough to stay pulled up if you feel a preppy vibe.

Colour

There are so many styles, prints, and colour tones of camo.  Stay away from the orange, red or blue prints. Those scream hunting season! I like to stick with the faded or dark greens.

Fit

The fit of a piece makes the difference between stylish and sloppy.  In saying that, I don’t mean that everything you own should be super tight.  Make sure the piece fits you properly and match it with the right pieces.  I love my camo hoodie.  It is a little oversized and super comfy, but with jeggings and booties, the look has the perfect casual feel. (ps. the hoodie is 20% off this week with code LOVE20).  I love a camo pant that fits like a jegging (and am totally in search of some!) – they are perfect to pair with a slouchy white tee.  If your camo piece is an oversized top, pair it with a slim fitting bottom or vice versa  …which leads me to my next tip.

Balance

Styling any trend is all about balance.  A camo jacket with matching hat and pants just doesn’t cut it.  Use your camo piece as a pop to your outfit.  It is just another print like stripes or plaid.  Try adding a girly touch to make it more feminine like blush earrings, a pom pom beanie, a preppy tote or even a great pink lip colour.
