What Is ‘Camelflage’ and Why Is it Trending?

There’s another trendy color to look out for: camelflage.

Just like millennial pink, calmelflage subtly came across our radars. Racked points out that no one took notice of the medium brown hue until Kanye West, Sienna Miller, and Karlie Kloss wore camel coats. I also noticed Camie Juan and Liz Uy wearing it during their trips abroad.

Aside from coats (our weather’s scorching right now anyway), camelflage is a versatile color for any piece of clothing. It goes especially well with neutrals and pastels. Heck, you can mix it with millennial pink too.

Spruce up any plain top with Love Affect’s necklace. The combination of faux suede tassels and colorful stones make it a boho chic accessory for those who want to channel a Coachella-like vibe. Available on Nordstrom.

You most likely have several shirts in your wardrobe now, so grab one with a glittery design to change things up. This Mini Lara Lip Natalie Jumper from Markus Lupfer comes in a camelflage hue and it’s adorned with a gold lip. It actually looks like something out of Kylie Jenner’s merch shop. Available online.

Miss Selfridge’s Camel Peg Leg Trousers is a great addition to your workwear uniform. Simply pair it with a white top—one with a ruffled collar will work—and a pair of nice heels. Available at Greenbelt 5.

If you’re looking for heels for your trousers, Charles & Keith has these Peep-Toe Slingbacks. The camelflage hue makes it look classy and timeless—a nice switch from your usual black pumps. Available at Power Plant Mall.

For more casual gatherings, wear this comfy skirt from H&M. You can make it a preppy look with some sneakers. Available at SM Makati.

Have a semi-formal event coming up? Opt for a fun and sexy ensemble like Missguided’s Slinky Drape Front Mini-Dress. Available on Zalora PH.

I find that brown flats are as essential as black ones because it goes with almost anything. A classic choice are these ballerina flats from Mango, which can be worn with jeans, dresses, or skirts. Available at Glorietta 2.

Put all your travel necessities in this oversized bag from Zara. This is also perfect for day trips or when you just want to pack light for, let’s say, a three-day vacation. Available at Power Plant Mall.
