Camouflage has been going strong for a couple of seasons now but this fall, the look is as popular as ever. Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing’s show for fall 2014 was heavy on the military-chic inspired look (it as an awesome collection which I loved) and he regular refers to his models as the #balmainarmy on Instagram. And while shopping recently at Calgary’s new Nordstrom location, I saw the most cool red and black camo Valentino heels (also available at Holt Renfrew) and I was totally smitten. Which then got me thinking about how camo can be surprisingly fancy – and versatile. Especially as a heel. You could totally do a camo heel with cool skinny jeans, a dress, a suit – the options are basically endless. And the print couldn’t be better for this time of year.
If you’re looking for some new heels this season, go camo. The look is fun, chic and doesn’t take itself super seriously. You can also find the style in a wide rande of prices. Here are three different ways to rock a fancy camo heel this fall.
Look #1: Camo heels with skinny jeans
For a cool outfit during a night out with friends, camo heels look aweome and current with a favourite pair a dark skinny jeans. Pair it with a good looking black blazer, a great bag and some killer statement earrings and a cool bracelet.
