The Essentials: 12 Camo Picks For Casual Friday

You don’t have to be battle-ready to rock the camouflage patterns inspired by traditional battledress, nor will you blend into your surroundings (how ironic). In fact, with designer heavyweights like Marni, Givenchy and Christopher Kane pumping out ultra modern interpretations of the military-esque print—by way of slinky blue mini dresses and city-ready colour blocked jumpers—there is no reason for you to be AWOL on this trend. Best saved for Casual Fridays, casual office environments or the weekend altogether, pair your favourite camo piece with feminine separates (think: crochet lace pencil skirt with a camo button-down, or a structured peplum blazer with camo skinnies). Top off with glam baubles to offset the heavily masculine print and avoid looking costume-y.
