9 Surprisingly Cool Camo Outfits to Try
"Look at the cute camo outfit" is likely not a sentence you utter often, because let's face it: The print is just not that easy to style. Unlike patterns such as florals or stripes that play nicely with a myriad of color palettes and fabric textures, camouflage is, when it comes down to it, a bit trickier. But when have we ever not been game for a wardrobe challenge?
If you're on the same style page, then today's roundup of smart street style outfits is bound to inspire you to test the limits with this bold look. We turned to some of our favorite fashion editors (and street style stars) for ways to create cute camo outfits this spring and even included a few of our favorite pieces for you to shop as a start. Scroll down to find out why camouflage is the unexpected must-have pattern right now. Which look is your favorite?
