# Camouflage Desert Boots The 'Clarks Originals Fall/Winter 2012' Collection is Rustic and Chic By Cody Turner | Published 2012-08-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-originals-fallwinter-2012 References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2012/08/20/clarks-originals-camouflage-collection-fallwinter-2012/) & [shop.kithnyc](http://shop.kithnyc.com/collections/clarks) [Clarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandro-x-clarks-originals) shoes are a must-have for stylish footwear and the latest Clarks Originals Fall/Winter 2012 Collection has taken an army-inspired approach to the popular boot. Desert boots are quickly becoming a staple in any man's (or woman's) shoe collection and Clarks knows what makes a good desert boot. The Clarks brand released a Camouflage collection for the upcoming season and contrary to what you might be thinking, these [camouflage designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtreepack) still fall under the subtle design that Clarks is known for. The camouflage pattern appears around the upper side of the [suede shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-clarks) and currently comes in a refreshing amount of colors: Navy blue camo, brown camo and the Clarks Desert Trek camo. All of these new boots are available now at [Kitch NYC](http://shop.kithnyc.com/collections/clarks). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Desert Boot Fashion:** There is an opportunity to introduce more fashion-forward designs and colors for desert boots to meet the evolving fashion trends. - **Military-inspired Clothing:** There is an opportunity to incorporate military designs and patterns in clothing beyond traditional items like jackets or pants. - **Online Retail Expansion:** Shopping experiences like the one offered by Kitch NYC are prime for online resources to update and streamline the experience for all customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Retail:** Fashion retailers can capitalize on desert boots as a growing and stylish footwear trend. - **Apparel Manufacturing:** Apparel manufacturers can create new military-inspired designs, beyond traditional items like jackets or pants, to enhance their product offerings. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce companies can find innovative ways to improve and update the online shopping experience for customers, like Kitch NYC. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Classic Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandro-x-clarks-originals.md) - [Beige-Toned Resin-Coated Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-desert-trek.md) - [Rich-Landscape-Inspired Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-somerset-pack.md) - [Camouflage Utility Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtreepack.md) - [Reimagined Suede Classic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-clarks.md) - [Sleek Moccasin Sneaker Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walla-eden-lo.md) - [Versatile Collaborative Stealthy Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-and-clark.md) - [Waved Graphic Moccasin Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yinyang-collection.md) - [Brazilian Motif Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-originals-x-carnan.md)
