It's official! Army prints still rule the fashion world. Street style, influencers, and this season's catwalks are putting camouflage center stage once again

This design is bang on trend and charged with history: while it takes its name from the military uniform, it's the little details that have earned it a place in the world of fashion.

The print originated in France and was created by a group of artists at the request of the government for use during the war to facilitate strategic attacks. During the First World War a camouflage department existed with over 3,000 artists who helped adapt it for the Marine and Air Forces. We bet none of them ever dreamed how far this print would go.

 

Today, brands like Miu Miu, Dior, Jeremy Scott, and John Richmonol are backing it for this season. We've got everything you need to select basic items and combine them for the perfect look as you do battle against the cold.
