Camo pants for fall
It took me over a year between deciding to add some camo to my wardrobe and actually purchasing some camo for my closet. But I now have a soft camo tee from Nickel and Suede (looks like it is no longer available) that I love and these camo pants from TJMaxx.
Today I am sharing 3 simple ways to wear camo pants. I am fairly basic in my looks most days as you can see in this post. Check out Shelly from Queen in Between though with her awesome print mixing in her Wednesday post last week!
With a white tee
I actually had to update my white tee and get rid of this one, so I ordered it again it white and in black but in medium this time. The two pack v neck tee is the Amazon Essentials brand. My navy one is still going strong and does not need to be replaced. I carried the white with my Converse and my spotted cork earrings (Nickel and Suede). I like this look as it simple still looks put together.
Black tank and wedge sneakers
I wore this look on a date night with my husband to watch a Falcons’ football game in downtown Atlanta. It was still warm even at a 8 PM game and we had some walk involved from the parking lot to the stadium (more about our outing on Wednesday’s post). I like the addition of the belt, another Amazon September purchase.
Stripes and sandals
For this last look, I added a little pattern mixing with the stripe tee (always a safe bet) but I did promise Shelly that I would try it with a floral! Any pattern mixing other than shoes or a scarf baffles by family (no girls!) so I am sure to hear: does that go together?
This tee is my favorite striped tee. I love how soft it is and how it is higher cut in the front but lower cut in the back. You can see a peek of the back in the following picture but I will have to take a nice picture of the back one day!
I will leave you with my attempt at pattern mixing with a floral. What do you think? I have just a few floral blouses and this was the only one I kind of liked with the pants. My son only said that he liked the look with the stripes better than the floral so progress!

Thanks, Jodie! It is fun experimenting with clothes… 2 of those outfits I have worn. Pretty sure I will do the stripes one this fall too!

I was a late comer to camo pants and only got my first pair this year – I love them and practically wore them the entire spring. I think I will be doing the same this fall. I am not a fan of florals with camo unless there is a really good color way match. I do love them with stripes though! I wear mine with a red/white striped t-shirt. I think the first outfit with your white t-shirt and white converse is my favourite – I am really not a conservative dresser, it just really looks pulled together 🙂

Thanks, Lisa! I should try them one of my other stripes shirt! Good idea! I do like it with the converse and white tee a lot too!

Your camo pants certainly prove how versatile they are. They certainly work with all your tops. I actually quite like the floral too. As a mother of grown boys I was never really worried about their opinions, they are still way more conservative than me.

Lol! My boys usually don’t comment much but since my oldest takes my pictures, he sometimes has something to offer!

I have camo pants too and love to wear them for fall! They are so much fun to wear! Love how you print mixed yours! I like to pair mine with lace or pink for an extra feminine touch too!
mimifce
oh, lace, that would be pretty!
Mica
Love the outfit with the white tee and converse – such a classic! it’s a shame you had to replace the tee but it looks great in that photo! 🙂 I like the stripes for a bit of print mixing too. You wear these so well!
Hope that your week is off to a great start 🙂
mimifce
The tee is the exact same but in size medium which is actually even better! Thanks, Mica!
Jacob
you look good in all the camo styling picks.

I have one pair of camo jeans from Loft, that aren’t quite as soft as id like, but I love camo too! Great looks, I particualry love the pattern mixing with your pretty yellow floral. You look wonderful! Who would have thought camo would be this versatile?
thanks for linking!

Thanks, Jess! I tried something a little out of my comfort zone with the yellow blouse and it was fun. And I do love the pants!!
Laura
I just love camo, too, but because it’s still so warm here in Louisiana, I haven’t officially brought mine back into rotation yet. I need to do that!
mimifce
I know! This week, I am back in shorts and skirts because it just gets so hot still!
Donna Walmsley
These pants are just the most fabulous fit on your neat figure!! I prefer the first two options you showed, but the camo works well with the stripe too!! As a print I really enjoy camo – I picked up a jacket recently and look forward to pairing it with my olive skirt and pants … fun times!! Thank you for sharing!

Camo is one of my favorite prints and I treat it as a neutral these days! Some of my favorite things to pair with it are stripes, leopard, dark florals! I was totally out of my comfort zone at first, but now it just comes naturally. These pants look fabulous on you and I love that you tried something a little different with your pattern mixing.

Thanks, Shelbee! Oh, didn’t think of leopard! Might not do leopard blouse but I could pull off a leopard scarf! Thanks for the idea!

Lol! There is a pair of camo joggers I am eyeing, maybe next month!
