How do I get away with
camo?
Attention! Soldiers wear camouflage to blend in; hipsters
wear it to stand out. It's a recurring trend but right now London is having a
camo moment. Take your pick from slim-fit combat trousers, bomber jackets and
T-shirts for off-duty; camo-print ties and blazers for offices. An easy way to
incorporate the trend is via an accessory such as a London Undercover Camo
umbrella, Herschel Camo backpack or, my personal favourite, these Valentino
Garavani trainers (above, £430, at matchesfashion.com). But be careful not to
tread on a sartorial landmine when it comes to footwear. Black boots with camo
is a bit BNP. Not such a cool look.

younger brother and is stocked at the stylish likes of Liberty, Mr Porter and
Asos. 47 Beak Street, W1 (gant.co.uk)
