Over the holiday break, I took a step back from my usual online scrolling to spend more time being present with the people around me. As much as I tried to disconnect, there was one thing I couldn't help but get sucked into: Replica Handbags . I found myself scrolling through Getty Images—curious about what celebrities were up to, where they were vacationing, and, most importantly, what they were wearing.

As they do, many A-listers took to Aspen to unwind and show off their alpine-chic style. They sported the usual lineup of faux-fur coats, Moon Boots, and Kemo Sabe hats along with unexpected silhouettes such as camouflage-printed pants.

Reality star Kyle Richards was spotted strolling through Aspen. Instead of her slim-fitting jeans, she wore barrel-leg camouflage pants. She paired them with a black puffer jacket, a turtleneck sweater, a cowboy hat, a Western-inspired belt, and lug-sole boots.

I was surprised because camo pants seemed very 2000s, so I just kept them top of mind. A few days later, to my surprise, I saw the trend reappear on style icon Hailey Bieber. In one of her Instagram photos, she was seen wearing camouflage pants paired with a camo hooded sweatshirt and an oversize leather bag, presenting a more casual take on the trend.

While camo pants may seem dated, their resurgence is part of a larger 2026 trend as fashion becomes bolder, louder, and more expressive. Be sure to keep your eye out. If you're considering adding a pair to your rotation, know that camouflage, like leopard print, is a neutral. The pants, whether barrel-leg, wide-leg, or straight-leg, pair well with many types of boots, sweaters, and outerwear. Plus, the dark green, beige, and black in camo style well with a range of hues, such as cherry red, mustard yellow, burgundy, and even orange.
