Summer Series 2: Camo Print for Men

Okay fellas...last week we did color-blocking tips for you as well and hope that you looked at it and want to try something new. Now this week we are doing another summer print for you guys that is a little more subtle...camo print. For some reason camo print is always appropriate for the summer and a numerous amount of male celebrities like Big Sean, Jay Z, and Lil Wayne wear camo print. So we are going to show you how they've incorporated camo print in their wardrobe and how you can get a similar look. 

First we're going to start out with Big Sean. We love his style and he's definitely going to become someone that is featured on the blog quite a bit. If you look to the bottom left...he is seen in a black snapback with blue detailing to match his blue low-top shoes. He put on a black tank with his camo shorts and wore some black socks pulled up. Now we know that you guys may not want to go with the socks but this look is really easy to achieve. 

     Okay you can start out with this pair of  Free World Welland Camo Cargo Shorts from Zumiez. This is just one of many places to get a pair of camo shorts from. Then you can get this Zine Fixed Black Tank Top from Zumiez as well. So far you have the same exact look we're pretty sure for wayyyy cheaper than what he paid. Now as far as the hats go...just get whatever snapback you prefer and you can match your shoes to it if you'd like to. Just refer back to this picture while shopping...We have a mobile version for the blog that we know for sure works on iPhones and Androids.

     So if you wanted to go a more subtle route as far as shoes/style..look at the picture of Jay-Z below.. He is seen in camo shorts also but paired it with a white tee and black sneakers. It's more clean-cut...and we like that!

     This look is extremely easy to achieve, just do the same camo shorts that were listed above and you can do a plain white tee and black shoes. If you wanted to do a tee with color, you can do this BDG V-Neck Tee from Urban Outfitters in the Orange color with the same camo shorts. For shoes, do something similar to this pair Tan Converse Jack Purcell Leather Boat Shoes. 

     If you wanted to do a different color scheme...try this pair of Grey Camo Shorts from Hot Topic. This pair of camo shorts will allow you to do another bright colored shirt. So try the BDG V-Neck Tee in PINK...yes PINK. Then just do a simple pair of black low-top sneakers like these Black Monochrome Chucks. 

     Now....for the last look with camo shorts..you can do something similar to what Lil Wayne did...He is one that is fond of camo print and it looks great on him! Look to the left..he is seen in a pair of camo shorts, a graphic sweatshirt, "sloppy socks", and a pair of low-top blue sneakers. 

     This goes to show you that you don't have to do a plain colored tee or tank with your camo shorts. So if you wanted to go with the more traditional camo colored shorts ---> Welland Camo Cargo Shorts from Zumiez then you could do this Yellow Vans Elect Tee. For shoes you can do the Black Monochrome Chucks in the tip above and you're all set. It's up to you on whether or not you want to do the socks and hat.  

     Now if you wanted to do the Grey Camo Shorts from Hot Topic..you can do this Keep A Breast Foundation Graphic Tank. This would go great since it is black and it has red and white in it if you weren't sure. Then just do the same black chucks or you could do red low-top ones if you wanted to. So you can look fly while fighting for a cause! 

     Now look to the left...Wayne is seen wearing a camo print tank..he loves his camo. He paired the tank with a pair of printed jeans, but we suggest that you keep it simple and go with some plain cargo shorts.

     Start with this Altamont Shootdown Camo Tank ...it's the SAME EXACT tank he has on in the picture. Free World Khaki Cargos  or these  Black Free World Cargo Shorts either one would look good. Now depending on what cargo shorts you go with ...that will determine the shoe we suggest. If you do the khaki cargos then you can do something similar to the Black Monochrome Chucks (they pretty much go with everything) and if you go with the black cargo shorts you can do something similar to these Tan All Star Vintage Material Low-Top Chucks. 

Well guys...we hope that we gave you some helpful tips and outfit ideas that you can see yourself buying. We got the links for the pieces from Zumiez, Hot Topic, Urban Outfitters, and Converse. Don't forget to leave any questions or comments you may have and be on the look out for your supplemental video tip/pictures on Friday. 

Next week will end our summer series 2 on prints and colors so we can get you ready for fall essentials!
