The Hunter’s Apprentice

Sure, the national economy has seen better days. Excess money that normally would have gone toward a family vacation might be redirected for essentials such as food, clothing, and mortgage payments. But there are still plenty of opportunities for a family to spend time together and bond into a tight-knit unit. Fall is on the way, and in many states that means the start of hunting season.

This time-honored tradition offers more than just a chance to retreat to the woods for a few days. It’s also an excellent way to teach kids basic survival skills. If your child is not yet old enough to hunt, take him out to camp in a youth hunting camo shirt. Have him observe as you clean your rifle and wait patiently in a deer blind. With the peaceful sounds of nature all around you, this could be an experience that inflames your child’s interest in hunting.

Camouflage: More than Meets the Eye

With a little forethought and creativity, it’s possible for fashion-savvy women to find stylish clothes on a budget. This does not have to mean forsaking quality for a few cheap garments, however. In many instances, you can reuse the same flashy article of clothing in a number of different contexts. This is especially true of camouflage clothing, which has recently made a resurgence in the fashion world.

On the fashionista front, camo patterns are all the rage because of their unique versatility. They can be the centerpiece of your outfit or act as subdued accompaniment. Camo clothes can also serve as a reminder to support our nation’s men and women stationed overseas. Finally, ladies camouflage clothing can be worn in a practical sense – out in the woods during a hunt. Ladies can take their place side-by-side with their husbands in a deer blind, totally looking the part of wilderness assassin.

A Show of Support

Infant camo clothingNo loving father wants to miss out on the key moments of his child’s life, but men serving overseas in the armed services don’t always have a choice in the matter. Back home in America, the rest of the family can rally around dad in various ways. Care packages are one option, but there’s no way to manufacture the brief, indelible moments of communication between a father and his wife and children.

Imagine the look on dad’s face when he’s greeted by a satellite image of his infant son in camouflage baby regalia. It’s a show of undivided support for the man sacrificing so much for his family and country. Infant camo clothing doesn’t need to be practical; but there are times when its sentimental impact defies measurement.

It’s a well known paradox that camouflage duds stand out in sharp relief against a backdrop of dull clothing design.

Ladies who adopt a camo fashion statement have nothing to hide. In fact, they prefer reflect their inner strength through spirited camouflage garb. Ladies camo clothing can be subtle when worn underneath an overcoat or as an accessory, but it’s probably most effective as the standout piece in a complementary outfit.

If you’re finally getting into the camouflage trend, it would suit you to find matching accessories to compliment your outfits. Like the sudden reemergence of Army-inspired clothing, finding a camo tote would work really well with an outfit.

As I discussed in a previous post, women’s camo wear is all the rage and making sure that you’re not using a hobo bag or a designer purse with a more casual style can make the difference between chic and disaster.

Chic, not Geek

For many people, camo may be the trend for 15 year old Army brats wearing their dad’s stuff (or really just teenagers in general), but it’s finding a welcome new place in hipster fashion.  Thanks to scene trendsetters like Jesse Lacey of Brand New, wearing army-inspired clothing is more chic than ever.

Ladies camouflage is now widely available and in various styles, so you’re not just wearing the same style of camo.  Camouflage also comes in different colors, not just the typical green and browns. This time it’s about standing out, not blending in.

Say It All…With Your Purse

If you thought the camouflage look was only for tomboys, think again. Camouflage used to be limited to fatigues or other clothing that was reminiscent of the military, but nowadays, the fabric has expanded in popularity to be used in many different color schemes and styles of clothing. For example, it is possible to purchase all kinds of skirts and professional wear that utilizes the camo color palette without overtly using the traditional camo pattern.

Camo accessories have also received an overhaul. While it used to be commonplace that a camo purse would resemble a military knapsack or other strictly pragmatic style, it is common to find products now such as a pink camo purse. In particular, these purses are the perfect blend of masculinity and femininity, as they use the strong and bold camo pattern with the girly touch of pink. If fashion is all about making statements, these kinds of accessories will announce you as a strong feminine force.

If you’re sick of your kids going outside and playing in their school clothing, consider investing in some clothing that can work double duty. After all, you’ll save yourself a lot of time, money, and hassle if you purchase clothing that they can wear both to school and outside while they play in the mud and climb through the woods. Some clothes that fall into these two categories include all varieties of camo gear.

The market for kids camouflage clothes has expanded as parents have realized how durable and wearable these clothing items are. And the kids are sure to love wearing them to school because the styles and patterns have become very stylish. While it used to just be a simple camo t-shirt, now it’s a tailored cut with adorable detailing like butterfly decals or army stars. The colors are also more varied, so it’s common to see pink camo gear on clothing and accessories.
