If I have to love anything about trends this year, it is definitely army fatigue and camouflage attire. Although it has been around for decades, it is one of Autumn’s biggest fashion highlights. When you go to stores such as H&M, Forever21, DEB, Rainbow, Wet Seal, Macy’s, Dillards, Rue 21, Body Central, Urban Outfitters, Target or anywhere, you will see it plastered on every mannequin from pants and leggings to jackets, hats, backpacks, scarves, shoes, and even cell phone accessories, coffee mugs, watches, purses and dog clothes. I’ve always liked the camouflage design. Browsing the web, I saw some ladies who looked really fly in their army fat:

Note: This is sort of a long entry because I wanted to show you that there are so many ways to be creative with army fatigue. So scroll all the way through to get the full experience.

Army fat with short skirts…

I like the baggy look.

So lovely.

I like this jacket. I would wear jeans.

This is my favorite camo print- it’s dark with no added studs or anything like that.

I like the distressed jacket… no flag, though!

Red is such a great color to pair with army fat.

I like the contrasting pink.

I like the jumpsuit.

I like the contrasting yellow.

Nice.

I like…

Sort of cute.

Mary J. Blige… love this!

I dig.

I really dig the vest.

You may like.

Old school high waist jeans…

I love skirts that are this length.

Very nice look!

Found this online. I am sad that I cannot remember the website, but she sales vintage and slightly used clothes. It’s awesome.

Great look.

New York Army Store

I would try these with a wedge shoe.

I like the army fat shirt around the waist with the knee high boots.

This is probably the pair I would buy. However, I would wear them with military/combat boots or flat shoes.

This is OK.

Love the vest!

Cool.

Army Fat and Leather

Military look…

Queen Badu.

I like this look.

One of my favorite looks.

I like the camo up against the yellow.

This is aight…

Worth trying?

Like the shirts.

Nice.

Rihanna’s crazy a$$ loves camo.

I like this.

Both styles are nice.

Cute.

Love it.

Lol. Nice.

I love black tops with camo.

I like these skinny cropped pants with heels.

Love it!

In order for me to rock the jackets they definitely have to be cut a certain way. I like them cropped, military cut, and I even like the suit jackets. I DO NOT like rhinestones or any funny patches attached. Some of the jackets above have added studs, but I do not like that part of the design. Maybe you do? I actually dig awkward zippers and pockets, but that is it as far as I go.

Love this design.

Ok.

Just a simple t-shirt.

Love this color. The light and fades camos are nice. Even the grays.

I like the light camo. But I prefer the dark.

I like the cut, but no added stones or studs for me!

Like the collar here, but not those rhinestones!

This would be better if it was a boyfriend cut jacket. This one may be too short.

This is the design I like most. No weird colors like red, blue, or yellow camo! Yuck! Just the basic greens, browns, and blacks is all I can handle.

Minus the flag on the sleeve, I love this!

Love the jewelry layering…

This is kind of cool.

Nice.

Men look great with this look. Do you agree?

Nice look… Love it.

The weekend look…

The neat look…

The professional look…

The everyday look… I love this hood! This is my favorite style for men.

Simple…

The everyday look…

Look at those shoes!…

Sweet.

I actually like this color.

I really like hoods on jackets!

…like this.

Great military style looks.

This is OK.

I like the red against the camo.

Is this too much?

Camo on baby boy.

This print is decent.

I actually dig all these prints as well.

Love the cut of this pant.

This is cool. The sleeves could be a bit longer.

I like the vest.

I like this cut.

This is OK, but not my fav.

I like this, but I prefer a more “rugged” look.

This camo coat may be a bit too bright for my liking…

Love the tan shoes with camo…

I like the pants, but not those sporty shoes.

Very nice print.

Cuffed with mustard-colored shoes

Pocket Camo Shirt

Camo shorts… very popular

Camo vest…. Ok, but not my fav.

Camo shirt with khaki shorts.I really like that look.

I see this combination a lot on the younger guys.

Overall, I will continue to buy camouflage attire because it just sits well with me. However, paying super high prices for it is not an option. Often times you can get it at a Thrift Store. Again, I do not like the studs on Army Fat/Camo and I do not like the actual word “ARMY” being on the clothing. However, to each their own.
