What to wear with camo cargo pants

Pink looks great with red, or black. It also plays well with brown. An often overlooked color combination is print with muted greens like those greens of a camouflage. Why does the latter combination work? The base colors of pink and muted green are red and green, respectively. The former is lightened up with white, and the latter with black. Black and white are a great pairing like red and green. So are the lightened up and darkened versions of them.

I love the combination of pink with the shades of camouflage. Here I wear my camo pants with my pink cashmere sweater and suede olive green utility jacket as a Casual Friday look for a workday without work without meetings. To dress the outfit up a notch I added my pink pearls opera length necklace. Furthermore, at work, I slipped from my brown booties into my nude with pink cap toe pumps that you saw before in this post.

Interested in more cute camo outfits? Then you may like to see this camouflage cargos and motorbike coat look or this winter to spring transition look where I paired them with tough lace-up boots to not slip on clear ice which is a great danger of spring in Alaska.

Outerwear also needs styling

Even though its spring time, it is still too cold in Alaska. Thus, a light winter coat is still a must to wear with camo skinny jeans. There is not much insulation between the tight skinnies and your skin. 😉

Matching the outerwear to your outfit permits you to open your coat when it warms up during the day and still look stylish. In case of this outfit, you have to consider what colors go with camo green.
To stay with the army colors and the street chic theme , I added my loden coat, a brown bag and brown booties. The outer outfit was my olive green motorcycle coat and a beret. See this post for  another styling idea for a green beret.

Never forget to style your outerwear. #styletip Click To Tweet
