The camo trend is steadily creeping up on the high street, and it is my guilty pleasure. Cast off the memories of the cargo pants you had when you were ten, this look is vintage instead of childhood nostalgia. Have a look at the Ragged Priest brand; I've been doing a lot of styling work to do with them recently and they're becoming a favourite. They re-work old vintage items with denim and studs to create garments that are distinctly eighties skinhead and instantly recognisable. I have picked out this cropped jumper from the collection sold in Topshop because of its subtlety and versatility, yet unique nature. The camo jacket defines this trend and is a key piece for the season; Topshop and H&M are also selling similar versions at the moment. The PU band on the shorts gives a strong line to an otherwise quite organic outfit, complimenting the wash of the denim. The satchel is actually from the men's section but was too good to pass by as it fits with the trend perfectly. The patent boots are an eighties must. I have featured River Island boots in this post, but for the real deal invest in a pair of Dr. Martens - another childhood classic reworked. The spiked necklace rounds the outfit off perfectly and compliments the army nature of the trend but gives a strong contrast to the organic colours and lines.
