Unless you are in the military or are an avid hunter, your closet probably hasn’t seen camouflage since the mid-90s. Well, it’s back. Fall 2012 has upped the military-inspired ante to include this tough, utilitarian look, but unlike the designs in the 90s, this season’s camouflage trend incorporates the print into some fresh—even feminine—cuts and styles. The key to wearing camo is juxtaposing soft, glam pieces against it…and using it sparingly. Pair the skinny twill pants below with heels and a cowl neck sweater. Or incorporate a simple camouflage scarf or bag into your look for just a hint of the trend. It’s a fun, trendy print that is sure to liven up your look all fall and winter.
