You think only hunters wear camouflage?
Many people wear camouflage for a variety of reasons, including:
- Military
The United States Army, Air Force, Space Force, Navy, and Coast Guard all use camouflage.
- Fashion
Camouflage became a popular street style trend in the late 1990s, worn by many music artists and celebrities, including The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, NSYNC, the Spice Girls, and Destiny's Child. Camouflage is now available in many different silhouettes, including jackets, leggings, joggers, hoodies, and blazers.
- Pride
Some people wear camouflage to show their pride in the colors of the earth and to symbolize resistance.
- Private detectives
Some private detectives wear camouflage to blend in, but others say that wearing a camo suit in an urban environment makes you stand out.
Camouflage is illegal to wear in many countries, including Barbados, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, and others. This is often because governments want only members of the military to wear camouflage.
