Trend Report: Camouflage

There's no doubt that the military trend has legs — it has steadily survived from season to season with nothing more than simple tweaks along the way. This winter in particular, we're seeing all camouflage everything: a not-so-subtle nod to army influences that always manage to look edgy, sophisticated, or feminine, depending on your styling choices. Check out some of my suggestions below, then prepare to shop some chic camouflage pieces that will help you stand out rather than fade into the background.

• For an edgier look, pair your camouflage jeans with a worn-in rocker tee and leather jacket. Add biker boots or studded jeans — and just see if anyone tries messing with you.
• Camo can look cool and girlie in a snap — throw a printed utility jacket over your flirtiest white dress then throw on pretty heels and jewelry. It's an unexpected look that's totally worth wearing out on the town.
• The military trend can definitely be office-appropriate; try tucking a crisp button-down blouse into a camouflage skirt or layering a camo dress under a fitted blazer. Cinch the look at your natural waist with a leather belt for a sleek silhouette.
