I still love stripes and plaids, but...

JAileen

My new favorite pattern is...camo! I do not want to be mistaken for a member of the military, so no olive or desert colors. I think I just like the amorphous pattern.

Anyone else like it?

I think I was really attracted to those during shutdown ( still do but slightly less now ). It looks great on you - nice classic colors in a camo print!

I like it too, in those same non-traditional color palettes. I’ve thought about getting that red Rag & Bone tee. I like blue camo especially because it looks a bit like water.

That's interesting JAileen. I don't think I have ever owned camo print. I like the shapes though and agree it can be a fun change.

Another camo lover here...and i like the grey you’re wearing...i do wear green camo, but live in a place were everyone knows the real stuff from the fashion stuff and no one confuses the two.

And i love that red camo tee...

I like camouflage print although have never worn it myself as it is hard to come by when compared to leopard print. I love your and Kkards collections.

I am a no on camo, but I have been enjoying animal prints in non-traditional colors, like olive green arid pine green leopard prints.

Fun camouflage collection! I don’t have any pieces right now. I used to have some fashion camo as well as some real camo. The red t-shirt is really unique! Also like the thumb hole design on shirts

I like camo too, though more on accessories than clothes. But that grey version is swell!

Looks good!

I like it too but I prefer the green and brown versions for me. I don’t think I have any right now but I always keep an eye out for it.

I like the *idea* of camo because, ever since learning I look better in more rounded shapes & curved prints (I suspect I'm a Romantic/ Soft Classic Kibbe Type) I've been having a hard time finding patterns that flatter this body but also don't look too twee or girly (I don't mind florals but I'm not a 'cabbage rose' print kinda person, lol).

Camouflage is one pattern that I think fulfills both of these criteria, the others being animal print & *some* polka dots, but I prefer to avoid the 'actual' colour schemes of these prints (e.g military connotations of olive/ khaki camo). At the same time though, I don't look great in washed out (like camo often is) or very high contrast colours (like a B&W polka dot). I need depth, like a burnt orange/ rust camo on chocolate brown.

So if I can ever translate the *idea* of camo into a flattering *reality* on me, I'll let you know For now though, I'll live vicariously through you all lol

I like camo in traditional olive as well in as a softer palette. I have only one linen camo tee right now, but I am always on the lookout for camo pieces that will work with my wardrobe.

I’m going to have to think about this pattern. In non traditional colors (green or tan) it is quite interesting.

Interesting...I like it in nontraditional colours, especially blue, for the reason Janet gives. But I rarely buy an item in this pattern.

I can't shake the hunting and military connotation for myself but enjoy it on others in non-camo colors, especially on you JAileen, because of your bird appreciating activities.

I'm not enjoying my stripes as much this year and I realize that more than ever I can not anticipate the effect age has on my style preferences!

I like it too, I think it is because it is more interesting than no print but still subtle.

I don't wear camouflage either, but enjoy it on those who feel fab in it - like you!

I love camo, especially in muted blues and gray, though I like traditional olive camo patterns as well.

Thank you everyone, for sharing your thoughts.

RobinF, that’s it exactly - very subtle. I don’t want traditional color schemes, I know my things don’t look military, but I also don’t want to look like I’m playing at war, either.

KKards, fabulous collection of camo!

Janet, I really didn’t want to buy the Rag and Bone tee, but it was the only red one, so I was forced to. Hahahaha! Exactly how I feel about the blue. I wonder if I started liking camo when I started drawing last year.

Phoebe, I’m sorry stripes aren’t doing it for you anymore.

You've found a great camo print that flatters you, Janet. I like it!

I'm not into camo for myself, I think because I wore it in the military, but I DO like this amorphous type of pattern and have a lot of similar ones.

Notsaf, nice collection!

Sharan, I think I forgot you were in the military. Yes, I wouldn’t wear it then, either.

Jenna, it sounds like you have a great collection, too.

I have a pair of camo pants in the traditional olive green cor palette. I like them and wear them frequently. I think I prefer it on my bottom half, though.

Meant to reply before, but wearing camo today in your honor
I didn't used to like it, cause I don't want to be mistaken for a hunter, but I like that it's low contrast!
