Camo outerwear

What do we think about camo for everyday wear?

Not for hunting or manoeuvres or Airsoft or whatever, just as a fashion choice.

Not so long ago I picked up a woodland camo M-65 from Golden Mfg, and I love it to bits. But at the moment I feel like I love it in spite of it being camo.

So far, I feel a little self conscious wearing it in everyday situations, as though folks will expect it to represent a certain lifestyle choice. When all it actually is to me, is a cool jacket.

Funny thing is, I've worn camo cargo shorts for about as long as I can remember. I still wear them now, when it's shorts weather. But I haven't worn full length camo trousers of any description since I was about 22. I'm almost 60 now, btw.

This whole thought has been prompted by @jeo , who just posted in WJAYWT in camo pants looking about as cool as I've ever seen anyone look.

So that's my question, really. Do/would you wear camo for everyday? So you have any notional guardrails, like I do for full length trousers? Genuinely interested in people's thoughts.

Camo shirts/jackets and shorts are neat.

Camo Pants, as i got older i stopped wearing them casually, except during hunting season

I don’t think there is any reason not to. I wouldn’t but only because i dont care for the aesthetic

For regular clothing, no, I haven't worn camo since I was in my early 20s, and even then I only had like a couple tshirts. I wouldn't wear it at all as of today. I find it tacky and also quite ironic as nowadays you will actually stand out wearing camo. I wouldn't particularly mind it as a jacket's liner though, which is something I've seen (I think Himel did it? Some Vanson collabs?).

I actually do not have any camo clothing at all, but I wouldn't mind it for training. I was close to buying camo shorts for when I train grappling, only reason I didn't was they were quite expensive and I had enough shorts so it's not like I even needed them.

I have a denim motorcycle jacket from Revit that has quite a nice camo liner with a sort of modernist twist.

I had these really nice Ralph pants for a decade and only wore them once. Ended up selling them for cheap
