Trend - Camouflage Pattern

Trend 

Camouflage

Camouflage stands out as latest fashion trend. 

The print that at one time was only a tool for military troops to go unnoticed has become a front-and-centre look in fashion. It’s been adapted in luxe fur, sequin sweaters, athletic wear and casual kicks. It’s for girls and boys, women and men.

“Camo is peaking,” according to Emilia Fabricant, Aeropostale’s executive vice-president of design, merchandising and production. 

“It’s hitting everything, from sweaters to outerwear. It’s so graphic. It’s edgy but it’s also completely neutral.”

Camouflage & Sneakers

Many Sneakers brand also adapted camouflage pattern on their product. 

1. Nike Dunk SB High Brian Anderson (2006)

Nike SB team member Brian Anderson constructed a classic with his hunter-friendly take on the Dunk High. The shoe features olive camo printed on denim along with a nubuck ankle and toe. The bright orange Swoosh and inner gives the sneaker a sick accent to make the shoe stand out against the competition.

2. Bape x Adidas Super Ape Star (2009)

A Bathing Ape and adidas got together and went in on the Superstar model. The shoe featured Bape’s classic camo concept over the sneaker’s upper but left the timeless three stripes and shelltoe alone for a clean yet modern upgrade on a classic sneaker. 

3. Bape x Converse Chuck Taylor (2006)

The Converse Chuck Taylor has been an American classic for nearly a century, and A Bathing Ape has been the king of camo prints for the past decade. When the two got together they didn’t reinvent the wheel by any means, but you can’t deny that these are the epitome of classic casual style.

4. F.C.R.B. x Nike Lunar Rejuven8 Mid (2010)

When Nike Sportswear and Sophnet’s F.C.R.B. linked up on this collabo sneaker, fans knew they were in for something sick. There were no disappointments. The shoe featured a dope camo print covering an already extremely popular silhouette.

5. Supreme x Vans V-106 (2009)

Supreme took the classic vulcanized Vans V-106 model and pimped it with their original camo print.

My Camouflage Items

I Love Camouflage pattern. 

If you keep up with the current fashion trends you would know that camo-pattern is definitely in. In shorts, pants, shirts, sneakers, bag, hat etc. 

I really like this pattern because I feel like you can really do a lot with it and mix different prints with it.
