I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve raved about wearing prints for mama-duty to disguise marks and sticky fingerprints, so it’s even better when the ultimate hide-all print – camouflage – is bang-on-trend.
You may think camo should be left to the military (which, by the way is another hot trend this season!) or perhaps that it is a bit student-y, but to persuade you otherwise here are five easy, practical and stylish ways to work this print into your mama wardrobe.

Style tips

- Don’t wear with khaki. See reason above, though it is tempting for a 5 minute tea break.
- Add colour with this season’s must-have damson shade.
- Dress it up with black leather and stud details.
- Dress down for playgroup with an oversized camo shirt and black leggings for comfy casual wear.
- A camo parka is the solution for walks in the park and Winter days out.
