Do I need more camo?

I have pale grey camo skinnies and a pleather sleeved camo coat with a faux shearling collar.
I keep visiting these

I have the black waxed version of these jeans.
I'm trying to buy stuff I'm willing to wear multiple times. For example I've worn my Kenzo tiger sweatshirt many different times. I've already worn my Kenzo flying tiger sweater a few times. So I seem to be OK with wearing statement items often.
Lately I've just been alternating in the jeans department between my TR Cameron's and my R13 zippered moto skinnies. I was wondering if these would mix things up more. But they are pretty spendy.
What do you think?

Argh, I love them. How much do you wear your regular x-overs?

I haven't worn them much recently. But I wonder if it's because they're black. Except for my black leather skinnies, I haven't been feeling my black bottoms.

Anna - I have so drooled over the black x-over jeans. Major envy. You cannot ask this question. You know you would look fabulous in these jeans. But only you know if they will be workhorses. I am surprised but my gap camo jeans are very useful. So I am a big thumbs up if you feel you can amortize their cost.

Hmmm. How is your work schedule? Would you have the opportunity to wear these enough to add them to your rotation?

Also, how do you feel about the longevity of camo? Will you wear it next year?

My concern is that they seem very brown. My impression is that you (like me) don't seem to wear much brown. I'd like them better for you if they were more of a grey or green camo.

Hmm, you're right on brown. Are these a better color?

I want baggier over skinnies.

I have not read the comments, Anna (I'm hectic), but they seem very brown - and you are more of an olive than brown gal. Cool olive is one of your faves. So the palette on these gives me pause.

These are more green and a bargain by comparison

I love, love the pants. I had not thought about the color issue, though. This might be an item you want to be more of a 10, and it may be more like an 8 if the color scheme doesn't fit with your wardrobe so well. However, they're shown with gray, and so I think they would work with neutrals that you do wear.

I'm not as crazy about the second pair you show--they're fine, just not as special as the cross-over pair. A nitpick I have with them is the way the back welt pockets droop open on the model. The pockets seem placed rather low, too.

These are darker overall

My faves are the AR SRPLS. The crossover effect is actually kind of hard to see with the camo pattern, maybe it's more obvious IRL. I don't love the first jogging pants pair, jut sort of droopy.

since the cross-over is not the most critical component, i like ar srpls then the keegan a far second. but the ar srpls color is really hard to see on my monitor because of the darkness.

And then these are featured in today's blog

OR just give up on camo all together and go Art Deco

I love the first ones, but if the brown colouring is a problem, the ARs are fantastic, too. The darker colouring and less obvious pattern might make them more versatile. I wouldn't risk the Joe's pair, as pattern placement could end up being unfortunate.

Oh, and I ADORE the Clover Canyons, although they aren't really in the same category! If you decide against the camo, definitely get these!

Are silky track pants warm enough for this time of year, Anna? For me, they are a Summer item. But then I probably run colder than you.

I'm not so sure about the camo version but I, too, am drooling over your black x-overs.

I find myself wearing my R13 skinny slouch jeans practically every day. What is it about these jeans?

Heh... I liked the first, the art deco, and the AR SRPLS.

I don't know why, but I sort of feel you need more camo...
