Stripes With Camo?

J Crew has this on their site. Everything goes with everything? It's a trend I see on so many sites now. I wouldn't put those together, it would make me feel like I look like I got dressed in the dark. I know it's just editorial. There's even a different patterned bow on the shoes.

Mixing patterns and or stripes is just a hot mess ( and yes, that goes for ‘designer’ clothes too). I guess I’m old-school dating myself, but I prefer simpler combinations that aren’t tough on the eyes!

Hmmm, NO.

I should show my husband this, since he always says everything goes with camo, and I can say “See ... no, it doesn’t!!”. 😂

Like the pants but the shirt is bright and overwhelming.

I might get caught around the house (alone) like that on laundry day, but there's no one, no way who should dressed like this, imho!

I think it looks fine.

I'm definitely not of the mind that "everything goes with everything". Just not my style.

This is hard on the eye because of the lack of unity. to mix stripes and prints there should be a common color. Men do it all the time in suits and ties.

I wouldn't wear them together or on their own! I am not a camo fan for reasons I will keep to myself . This combo is a big turn off for me.

It might work if the blouse was in the same color scheme as the pants. Green...no.

I don't particularly care for camo prints ... and I don't "hate" this look, but not crazy about it.

Maybe on the minus side of neutral.

I enjoy looking at the way magazine and catalog stylists put together looks. It may be something I'd never do, or something that makes me go "hmmm," but I think they're interesting and different. Even staid old Talbots sometimes shows a combo I wouldn't have considered on my own. On several occasions, their idea has prompted a purchase by me!

HaHaHa! She must have gotten dressed in the dark! This is just ridiculous.

I never see people out and about in real life mising colors and patterns in wacky ways like that. I do think it's just something they do in ads and in magazines to capture our attention.

I too think this looks fine, especially for an editorial photograph. The sage color green is woven thru out the entire look - the hat, the stems in the floral arrangement, the stripes in the blouse and the camo, even the polka dot tie on the strappy sandals - although I personally wouldn't be able to pull this off I'd prefer a simpler tee on top, but J Crew does a lot of style hacks, showing you how to put things together that you might not normally think of.

Now another question is, is the blouse tucked? 1/2 tucked? and if 1/2 tucked, how so? Questions questions.

@jellyBEAN I definltely need to return to SpecSavers. I do not see anyway, shape, form or fashion this works for anyone save a college student late for class and unable to find anything else to wear with her boyfriends' ROTC pants.

"Everything goes with everything" is Issac Mizrahi. His way of thinking & his QVC designs reflect this.
