ALL IN THE DETAILS: Contrasting With Camo

Rocky Top, Tennessee is known for many things and camouflage is one of them. Sometimes it’s a good thing (in this Fashionisto’s case, it is), sometimes it’s not so much. Camouflage is one of those patterns that is used in so many different ways. You can look at camouflage and think military, hunting or, recently, stylish. Since camouflage is used in so many different pieces and styles of clothing, it is an easy piece to contrast with.

This Fashionisto paired his cool camouflage pants with a faint polka-dot button-up shirt. The subtlety of the polka-dots helped this Fashionisto pair the shirt with the camouflage because it is not overbearing and complements his pants nicely. To finish off, this Fashionisto wears brown wingtip boots. They match the camouflage and pull the entire outfit together.

The cool thing about this Fashonisto’s outfit is that it can be worn to many different places. For class, parties, concerts or date night, the outfit is the perfect combination of stylish and simple. Finding a simple go-to outfit like this is good because you can play around with it by adding a jacket, a different shirt or even a different pair of shoes. Camouflage has the luxury of integrating itself into many different forms of fashion.

How To: Vintage stores are notorious for selling old army jackets and vintage camouflage stuff. Stop by and grab one, then play around within your style and see what you can come up with. If you’re a Fashionisto, use camouflage to accent a cool T-shirt or button-up, like this Fashionisto did. If you’re a Fashionista, belt a vintage army jacket with a dress. Experiment!
