Camo pants are among the most versatile pieces in men’s streetwear today. Known for their rugged pattern and bold look, camo pants and camo shorts have evolved from military-inspired staples to fashion-forward essentials. The key to styling them well is all about balance—pairing camo’s boldness with minimal, high-quality pieces to create outfits that feel modern and elevated.
Whether you're rocking camo joggers, camo cargo shorts, or classic camo pants, this guide will show you how to wear camo pants in ways that feel fresh, easy, and put together. From neutral tops to layered street looks, we’ve got you covered.
What Colors Go With Camo Pants?
When styling camo pants for men, choosing the right colors is key. Since the camouflage print is already bold, pair it with solid, complementary tones to keep your look balanced and clean.
Here are the top colors that go with camouflage pants:
- Black: Works with every camo tone and gives a sleek, modern edge.
- White: Clean, crisp, and helps highlight the camouflage print.
- Gray: Adds contrast without clashing; perfect for cool-toned streetwear.
- Tan or Beige: Complements the earthy tones in most camo prints.
- Olive Green: Reinforces the military vibe without overwhelming the look.
When in doubt, stick to monochrome and neutral tones to keep the focus on the camo. Explore mnml’s full range of camo pants to find the right shades and fits for your wardrobe.
How to Style Camo Pants in 6 Ways
Camo has become a go-to for men’s streetwear outfits, and for good reason. It adds texture and energy to a fit, but still works with clean-lined modern pieces. Here are six camo outfit ideas to help you build looks around this statement piece:
#1 Camo Pants + Neutral T-Shirt
The easiest way to style camo cargo pants is with a neutral tee in black, white, or gray. This combo keeps the outfit grounded while letting the camo print take center stage.
- Look for premium basics like our Everyday Tee with quality fabric and a modern cut.
- Pair with clean low-top sneakers for a casual but elevated fit.
#2 Camo Pants + Oversized Hoodie
Pairing camo pants with an oversized hoodie like our Tonal Grain Knitted Hoodie creates a streetwear-approved silhouette. The bold print is balanced by the soft, boxy proportions of the hoodie.
- Go for hoodies in solid colors—gray, cream, or washed black.
- Add a crossbody bag and beanie for added streetwear detail.
#3 Camo Pants + Denim Jacket
Camo and denim are a classic mix of rugged textures. A distressed denim jacket over camo pants brings a vintage vibe with urban appeal.
- Try a light-wash or faded denim jacket like our Sun Washed Denim Jacket with a fitted white tee underneath.
- Choose tapered or cropped camo pants to keep the silhouette clean.
#4 Camo Pants + Black Leather Jacket
For an edgier look, wear a black leather jacket like this Leather Moto Jacket over your camo pants. It’s a high-contrast, high-impact outfit that works especially well at night.
- Pair with black boots or high-top sneakers.
- Keep the rest of the fit minimal—black tee, silver chain, done.
#5 Camo Pants + Monochrome Top
Wearing camo pants with an all-black or all-white top creates a crisp contrast. Whether it’s a crewneck sweatshirt, long sleeve polo, or knit, this combo always hits.
- Go for tailored or relaxed camo pants, depending on your personal style.
- This fit works great with statement sneakers or clean leather shoes.
#6 Camo Shorts + Graphic Tee
Are cargo shorts in style? Just know they never left the streetwear scene. When the weather heats up, pair men's camo shorts with a bold graphic tee. This look is made for summer and weekend wear. It’s a classic camo shorts outfit that keeps you cool and on-trend.
- Pair with low-top sneakers and a snapback for a classic street vibe.
- Explore mnml’s men’s camo shorts for fits that work from day to night.

Accessorizing Camo Pants
Camo pants already bring strong energy to your outfit, so you’ll want to keep accessories clean and intentional. Here are some styling picks:
- Minimalist watches: Simple metal or black bands keep things sharp.
- Beanies or snapbacks: Adds a laid-back touch while framing your fit.
- Crossbody or utility bags: Functional and fashionable, especially in solid colors or black nylon.
Avoid loud prints or bright colors—neutral accessories let your camo do the talking.
Styling Camo Pants for Every Occasion
Camo pants and shorts are surprisingly easy to adapt to your lifestyle:
- Casual Day Out: Pair camo joggers with a neutral tee and slip-ons.
- Streetwear Events: Layer camo pants with an oversized hoodie and accessories.
