Looks like a lot of hipster camo above, especially the first pic.

The Rock in a fashion thread!

some of it is hipsterish but it seems it can rocked lo or hi.......like a white Gucci belt!!

Unless you're military or Wu, camo's wack.

With that said, the only piece of camo I've worn (and will ever wear) in my life is this Swiss Army jacket I found at an antique store last year:



(Not my pic, but it's pretty much the same jacket. Much nicer pattern than the boring ones above.)

If you must though, I'm with Delay. Keep it su tle.

Im surprised yall 30 somethings aint doin this. At least on the casual tip.

Herm....u aint got no Camo underwaers?

Only time I've worn camo is when hunting.

I've actually wanted to "rock" camo at various times in my life, but far too many already beat me to the punch to where I've always had to conclude...nope, far too trendy for me.

Hotsauce84

Nope. No camo underwear, socks, nuffing. It's corny. I mean, c'mon...look at holmes with the frosted sideburns!

batmon

U will still see a variation of this Uptown. Maybe w/ out the hats though.

But your homie who had the yellow shoes/suit is doin' it.

here's another thing aside from this dudes nauseating everything ... if you wear a tie clip, move that shit down so it just peaks out above your top button.

I've got a couple of jackets, only one of which I still wear regularly, and a cap. Threw out my last pair of old cargos a couple of summers ago. Not really a fan of fashion camo, but being of average height/build I have issues with the cut of regular army surplus joints, especially things like the width of jacket sleeves, so I can see the appeal from that p/o/v.

I like the boots that the old guy with the jacket/vest combo is wearing. Dunno about anything else on this page, although I guess the tie would be OK.

Only two looks I like. The pattern is worked in with everything else in a nice balance of subtlety and centre-piece to the outfits
Full disclosure - I got neon yellow pumps, too.

Let me stop you right there.

So true you had to be stopped twice

STEP AWAY FROM THE CAMO

I have a couple pairs of army BDU camo shorts that I wear fairly often, but not the regular woodland camo print you see most places. I like the Vietnam-era Tiger Camo, like this:



Or the Multicam pattern:


I think high-fashion camo pieces like blazers and slacks look really silly though. I'm not against buying expansive clothing, but people buying $600 camo jackets at Bergdorf Goodman are nuts.

pliggity-plus one.


i think at this point in my life, the only rockable camo item would be an ACTUAL surplus jacket, not the freshly silkscreened pattern on that redheaded yoot. ill bet he has a bright yellow swap meet wu shirt with faux crackle he rocks underneath it. IMO, to be used sparingly, and with minimal pocketry.

I've picked a couple of Carharrt camo pieces off the shelves before but never purchased. At a push I could go with something like this for the autumn/winter months.

batmon

those look fine

I have a pair of Camo Vans that I rarely wear...they are good for dirty digging.....other than that camo as fashion is either ironic, hillbilly or Duck Dynasty inspired.

I have a camo canvas belt that I wear here and there with jeans. I think camo in small bits is okay, but I'm not a fan of, say, big jackets covered in camo.

Shorter and tighter fit would get a pass.

Have to own up to buying one of these about 7 years ago and still using it ocassionally



Also remember buying these in NYC in 1999.

No.

Shorter, leaner M-65's or bust, imo.

Camo on a blazer is wrong.

I got a couple zip up camo jackets that I like. Variety on typical woodland tones. I got no problem wih camo but I'm not very fashion conscious.
I got a nasty dent in passenger door of my '01 prius that I banged out. I considered covering it with a camo decal strip across the bottom 8 inches of the side of the car. Bad idea?
