Camo for Spring and Summer
Most often, you associate camo print for fall and cooler months. What are some ways to make your camo appropriate for the warmer months? Jodie and I are sharing some inspiration to help you have fun with camo in spring and summer. When thinking of ideas of outfits to share, my first thought was brights! Instead of pairing camo with darker colors, choose colors you associate with summer to brigthen it up.
Camo with Orange
In the past, both Jodie and I have paired camo with orange. Here are those outfits. My outfit at that time was inspired by Paula from Dimples on my What.
Like me, Jodie added some other colors to her outfit.
Camo with Pink
I wanted to share different camo pieces and for a minute, I couldn’t find my camo tee. I thought I might have donated it since I do not wear it often, but thankfully I had not. Camo and pink make for a fun color combination and Jodie and I are sharing two different examples.
As I put the pictures next to each other, I realized that both of us are sharing examples of print mixing. My shorts have a very small print to them and Jodie is sharing double camo.
I really have enjoyed my little distressed olive sneakers. I am on the lookout for a similar pair in navy as I have wished I had a pair many times.
Camo with Yellow
I feel like I have had the idea of this outfit before but I never actually wore it until last month. I really worked well for a cooler spring day. The top is very lightweight (a souvenir from our last trip to Europe in 2019) and the cropped pants are not too heavy either.
I love all of the yellow elements in this outfit from the earrings to the sandals. If you do not have a pair of colorful sandals grab a pair. These are the same from the first picture in the post which was taken July 2020. They are just a pair of Target sandals but they still look and fit like new.
Jodie’s top is technically not yellow but I thought it still fit well under this category as the zebra print in her blouse is similar to my striped print above.
Camo with a Graphic Tee
I have several graphic tees that could have worked with this thrifted skirt, but I thought the flower graphic was perfect for spring.
I always feel like my most summery sneakers are my white ones as they brighten any outfit and they bookend this look well. This is not the most practical skirt to wear because of its length, but it is a fun one.
I love how each of these outfits were shopped from my closet and that each of these items is at least a year old or more. The pink Old Navy shorts are probably the oldest piece which is why they are actually too big on me now. But since I really like the color and print (I also have an orange pair), I will continue to wear them.
I hope all of these outfits gave you some ideas on how to wear some of your camo pieces during the spring and summer months. As long as the fabric isn’t too heavy and it is not a jacket, you should be able to come up with a few ideas shopped from your closet!

Thanks!

The camo looks great with all these warm, spring-like colors. I think I like it with the bright pink shorts best, but maybe that’s because I love distressed sneakers 🙂

Ha ha! I saw a few of these sneakers in other colors at TJMaxx and was mighty tempted!

I would have never thought camo could go with so many different colors and work in so many outfits! I love the yellow with it best…maybe it’s all the different yellow accessories!
I don’t have any camo as my husband really, really dislikes it. He rarely says anything so when he does, I feel I need to listen!

I agree, if hubby really hated one thing, I probably wouldn’t wear it. Thankfully, he seems to like everything I wear! No aversion to any print.

I totally forgot about this idea, and I just love how you put it together. Now it’s my turn to copy your camo with the graphic print. I think I’ll do that tomorrow!! Thanks for the idea,

Thanks, Jodie! I think we sometimes get stuck wearing just certain combinations so this was a nice exercise.

I really love it with yellow! I only wear it with pink actually, which is also such a good combination. However, the more I see other colours combined, the more I like it. Every colour goes with camo it seems.
mimifce
They sure do! I also like navy with camo.
Jennifer
Love how you put them together!

Yes to all these camo looks! I love those shorts and would love a pair. I have camo joggers that I wear all summer long.

I have been surprised that I have liked camo as much as I have. It is a fun print to play with.

It is interesting how versatile cameo can be. And it almost feel neutral enough of how you styled it casual and dressy. I love the exampes you showed with the pops of colour.

Yes, the print can become a neutral and it does pair well with the bright colors.

Bright colors and camo are a fabulous combination. Each of your looks are so great. Thanks for sharing your styling ideas.

You know, I think that is the key to keep the print stylish, pairing it with the brights!
Jill
Camo print is so versatile and I love it styled with all of these colors! I haven’t worn my camo shorts or pants in ages and need to style them soon!

I am actually wearing the camo tee again today (and like you I hadn’t worn the print in a while) for field day at school.

I don’t have any camo in my wardrobe but you wear yorus so well! I really like the yellow with it especially, it’s such a fun and cheerful combination. Anything with yellow usually is!
Thanks for joining the Weekday Wear Link up 🙂

I think that might be my favorite color combo!
Alexandra
Camo is such a fun print to pair with so many colors and prints! I think my favorite is with the pink shorts.
mimifce
I had fun trying some new combos!
