I've Tried So Many Camo Pants… These Are the Only Ones I'd Buy Again

I've Tried So Many Camo Pants… These Are the Only Ones I'd Buy Again

Yahooa day ago
Camo pants are one of those pieces that look easy to style, until you try on the wrong pair and suddenly question everything. The fit's off, the pockets do too much, or the fabric feels like cardboard. After testing numerous pairs (from budget finds to popular influencer favorites), I narrowed it down to four styles that I'd buy again, and that you might want to snag, too.
These pants are cute, affordable, and actually wearable. Whether you're dressing them up with heels or keeping it chill with sneakers, these camo pants pass the test.
Let's be real, camo pants are the neutral you didn't know you needed.
They go with black, white, neon, denim jackets, graphic tees, crop tops, sneakers, boots, heels, you name it. And when the fit is right? Game over!
But not all camo pants are created equal. The key is in the cut, stretch, and print. Here's where to find the gems:
These Fashion Nova camo pants are the pair that made me believe in camo again. The fit is everything, snatched at the waist, roomy through the legs, and just the right amount of structure to give streetwear energy without looking sloppy. They feel like cargos but wear like statement pants.
Perfect for dressing up with heels or keeping it casual with high-top sneakers and a cropped tee (like I did here), these pants have become a heavy hitter in my wardrobe.
Why They're Worth It:
High-rise waist that fits
Comfortable but not too slouchy
Excellent quality for the price
Pairs well with neutrals or brights
These Wrangler camo pants from Walmart weren't even on my radar, until they became one of the most worn pairs in my closet. Found in the men's section (yes, really), they give relaxed, lived-in energy without sacrificing style, and the hidden bonus? They're fleece-lined. That means you get comfort, warmth, and style all in one budget-friendly piece.
They're slightly oversized (in the best way), which makes them perfect for pairing with bold sneakers, vintage tees, and a statement bag. If you're into camo but want something a little warmer and more rugged, this pair delivers.
Why They're Worth It:
Found in-store in the men's section, look for Wrangler
Fleece-lined for extra comfort (great for fall and winter)
Loose fit that still looks intentional
Budget-friendly with a high-quality feel
SHEIN can be hit or miss, but these camo pants are definitely a hit. With a relaxed, wide-leg fit and classic print, they give laid-back utility vibes without feeling overly trendy or too bold. The cut is flattering at the waist and loose through the leg, making them easy to dress up or down.
They're the kind of camo pants you throw on when you want to look cool with zero effort. Pair them with sneakers and a black bodysuit like this for a clean streetwear moment or add a blazer and boots for a casual chic twist. For the price, these are a no-brainer.
Why They're Worth It:
Lightweight and breathable for warmer months
Trend-forward fit that still feels classic
Affordable enough to experiment with styling
Perfect mix of relaxed and structured
There's something about thrifted camo pants that just hits differently. These were a random find in a local thrift store, and now they're one of the most asked-about items in my closet. They're baggy in a cool way, perfectly worn-in, and give that vintage streetwear vibe that's hard to recreate with fast fashion.
The beauty of thrifted camo pants is that no one else has your pair. They're already broken in, made with better-quality fabric than most new brands, and super budget-friendly. I styled mine with a mesh jersey and bright sneakers, but you can check out this article for more on how I put that look together.
Why They're Worth It:
Totally unique, no one will have the same pair
Higher-quality fabrics (often military-grade or vintage)
Perfect for oversized or grungy streetwear looks
Under $10 if you get lucky at the right thrift spot
Camo pants don't have to be stiff, unflattering, or overpriced. These four options, from Fashion Nova, Walmart, SHEIN, and even thrift stores, prove you can find the perfect pair without blowing your budget.
If you've been on the hunt for the right camo pants, try one of these, you really can't go wrong. And when you find your pair, tag me so I can see how you styled them.

The Fast Food Chain Martha Stewart Prefers Over Others

Among all of the facts you should know about Martha Stewart, one is quite evident to everybody: She's almost always busy. Whether maintaining engaging social media pages, appearing as a guest on talk shows, or starring in commercials with Snoop Dogg, Stewart leads a fast-paced lifestyle. So, like all of us common folk, when Stewart needs a quick bite on the go, she has a favorite fast food restaurant that she'll visit ... but it's not your run-of-the-mill burger joint. In a recent interview with Delish, Stewart revealed that Sweetgreen is her favorite fast food restaurant. However, she also appreciates the food from Shake Shack, which she considers as "marginally better than other burger chains." Stewart did clarify that although she appreciates these two chains, she is "not one to stop on the road and have a hamburger or whatever else that people have." The article enigmatically mentions that Stewart had a brief obsession with KFC, but the fascination quickly died when she learned how to recreate its crispy chicken at home. Stewart noted that she prefers the pleasure of recreating fast food meals in her own kitchen, where she can control the "ingredients and nutritional value," since low-quality foodstuffs are a major factor in what steers her away from typical fast food.

In 2007, the chain was launched in Washington D.C. by three freshly graduated college students, who shared a mission to reimagine the way fast food works by offering genuinely healthy meals quickly. The menu contains items like the Fish Taco Bowl with miso glazed salmon, as well as an array of colorful salads, all of which are in alignment with Stewart's favorite foods. Shake Shack also focuses on providing higher-quality ingredients in its food, which may justify Stewart's stance on this burger chain. Stewart's remarks about fast food coincide with another recent interview on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," where she revealed that "I have never ordered in," clarifying that given the choice, "I will go out, or I will not eat." So, there will be no late-night Taco Bell orders or lazy Sunday afternoon Shake Shack delivery for this culinary icon. This confession is striking, given that Stewart appeared as the celebrity chef starring in Uber Eats' Super Bowl 2025 ad alongside singer Charli XCX, but hey — she's Martha Stewart. If anyone can get away with being a spokesperson for a service that she's never actually used, it's her. Read the original article on Tasting Table.
