Men’s camo pants, or camouflage pants, have an interesting history when considering its now iconic fashion status. Camouflage print was first used during World War I to hide locations and equipment from enemies, and eventually, in the 1980s, was used to make official uniforms for the U.S. Army.
Camouflage print clothing was at its height of popularity in the 1980s but had been featured in Vogue as early as the 1940s. Today, camouflage print clothing is still extremely fashionable; for men, the most popular and stylish way to wear camouflage is through a pair of camo pants.
