TREND REPORT | MILITARY & CAMO STYLE

The Camouflage prints; aka 'The Camo trend' has made a comeback this season! All of us thought that it was gone but the fashion industry you know..it repeats itself. And once again Camo trend is back! And with the camo style, military trend is born again! That means we'll be seeing studded military designs everywhere this Fall / Winter! :D
Military & Camouflage prints reflect a strong image. The  dark green gets along perfect w/ the color red. You can wear red lipstick or darker colors while wearing camo prints.
Now lets start with Hairstyles;
There is no specific hairstyle that gets along well with this trend but hair bun's & braids look stunning with these styles.
They add a powerfull & strong look. This picture is a great example:
Well, if you want to look sexy in these prints, just make natural waves & use your hair open. 
And for the color; there isn't a specific one but if you are already going to make changes this autumn; i suggest you to dye your hair Ombre! Darker at the roots, than gradually lightning. You'll glow with this hairstyle & also; you'll have a trendy hair style & color! ;)

Jackets!
It is the signtaure piece of Military & Camouflage clothing. Combine it with white or black shirts. But never combine it with complexed prints like floral or animal (zebra, leopard ) prints, NEVER! You will look ridiculously funny! No-Way!
And you know, this season studs & spikes rule the fashion industry (!) , so we'll match studs with camouflage designs..
This jacket is amazing! Besides the strong image the camo print creates, this is a very chic look!
You can both wear black or white inside your jacket..
This look is more sporty & masculin. The bigger size your jacket is; the more masculin you'll look.
Here is another combination.. We see combo jacket & a white dress that created a contrast. But the bag - i would prefer another one..
Woww!! A Chanel brouche & Camo jacket! Love it! The colors & the bag, a very chic look! <3
And now, here is a combination that you must NOT do! What is that bag? Camo + Leopard prints  = NO WAY! Please just dont do it! Seriously, do people think they are marginal when they look different?! lol :D
Woww, navy doesnt look that bad with the jacket right? Well, you can give it a try too..
But there is one detail that you can see in all pics: Black! Yes, there has to be at least one or two black pieces of clothing on you! or jewellery.. But camouflage prints need black..

Jackets as Shirts?
This is another way to wear jackets too.. If you dont want to wear a tank top inside your jacket; just tuck it in your pants, jeans, shorts or skirt. Your shirt is ready! :D
I guess it creates a sexy image. Btw, love this styling!

Vests & Coats?
Here is another option if you dont like wearing jackets.
And at cold weather; well, military coats are a life saver! It is usually combined with black leggings or pants - and the bag too!
If you want to wear a scarf in addittion too; you can try the colors red & yellow too!
But white & black is cult option & a life saver! Just put some black clothes on & a military coat: Ta daa; you really rock this trend! ;D

Skinny Pants!
I think pants are better & easy to combine with everything compared to Jackets or bags. You can combine with more colors. Example pics are given below; you'll understand what i mean..
Oh wedge heels, camo pants & a white tank top! Classic look! Perfection!
I have nothing in Camouflage printed at my closet, so i guess i'll get that camo skinny pants from Zara ;) 
Tamara from Glam & Glitter combined her camo studded pants with a grey cardigan & looks chic.
A military look combined with leather jacket, Jeffrey Campbell boots and aviators.. oh wait she didnt! I just completed her look lol :D Well, she'd be better with Ray Ban aviators; that's the one thing thats missing.. As you see, accessories can change your whole look in seconds.
Well, you can combine dark green with leopard print but with camo prints, never!

Inspirational Street Style
There are many bloggers that have amazing styles & i made collages from their pictures too; to show you how to  combine camo & military prints with.
P.S: Thanks to Chicisimo, i found most of the styling pictures  there. 
I didnt understand the purpose of mixing colors grey & brown at the 2nd pic..
Me wearing my navy skirt :)
Love the combinations at pictures 1 & 4.
Love 2, 3 & 4
Oh love the 1st pic alot! So sexy!
2nd pics is a little mixed but it looks chic!
I didn't comment to some pics; that means i love them all! :D
We see that Camouflage & military (just green) jackets or pants can be both styled chic & sporty. The only detail that differentiates this two are accessories! 

Camo bags or what?
Combine your Camo jacket with light, vibrant, red or neon colors. Keep the bag simple. Or try to match with your jacket..
I guess the best color that gets along well with camouflage is RED! Oh J'adore!
I didnt mention black bags 'cuz its classic; no need to even tell :D
Another option is Camouflage printed bags! Here are some celebs that are wearing Lv Camo bags.. I like Fergie, Ashley Simpson & Rihanna's style combinations the most..
Again leopard prints - but this time we see it in a bag! I think its too much again, i dont have tolerance for this; i can only accept leopard print with dark green colors; but not with camouflage prints, sorry..

And what shoes are better to combine with Camouflage prints?
Biker boots, studded boots, nude shoes or any Jeffrey Campbell shoes - as long as they are in black!
Have i told you that this season black & studs will rule the fashion industry? Oh yes i did! :D
You can find these boots anywhere; just check Zara, Stradivarius & Bershka for affordable priced boots. Last week i checked & they are still bringing new boots & all of them have studs! Great isnt it?! :D
Jeffrey Campbell is always a good idea; you can never do wrong or look bad w/ these shoes! You got to have one! I need to have one too! 
Oh and forgot to mention, wear aviators as sunglasses! Do not wear cat-eyed sunglasses!
That's what i'm talking about! ;D
Well, it was fun but we came to the end of this post :(
But no worries, i'll continue writing season's trends & share with you my lovely friends, followers & fans :)

  9. you should really reference all those photos - because one of those in the military jacket, leather skirt, yellow belt with the brown fur hat is of me and was photographed by Tommy Ton. A bit weird finding my photo on someone else's blog (but flattered none the less)!
