3 Ways to Style a Cropped Camo Jacket

A camo jacket is one of those pieces that can automatically command attention.  There's a sense of power and authority that comes with it.  It can be the star of the show but the way you style it can make all the difference. 

At CIK Apparel, we love a statement jacket because it does the heavy lifting for your outfit. You can keep everything else simple and still look pulled together, confident, and original. Especially when the jacket already has personality built into it through custom details, patches, texture, or color.

Here are three ways to style a cropped camo jacket so it works for real life, not just Instagram pictures.

Date Night/Ladies Night Ready

This look is effortlessly chic; paired with paper bag waist denim, open toe heels and a few key accessories---the sunglasses and clutch/crossbody bag and you're ready to hit the town.

Concert Ready

This is where the jacket starts acting different. Concerts allow us to be a little extra, and now that most artists have themes for their shows, it's your perfect time to shine. It's all about the accessories. Pair your camo jacket, with a skirt, tie, dad hat, junk socks, small bag and a bold lip.  

The contrast between camo and elevated pieces creates balance. You get edge without losing sophistication. This is also why statement outerwear works so well for women who want versatility. One jacket can completely change personality depending on what you pair it with.

Everyday Mom Life Ready

Let’s be honest. Sometimes you need an outfit that can survive school drop offs, coffee runs, a full work day and those last minute errands that always manage to pop up. This is when your camo jacket earns its keep. Even on your most casual days, the jacket makes the outfit feel styled instead of thrown together.

And that’s really the magic of a good statement piece. It gives your outfit personality before you even say a word. How are you styling your camo jackets?
