camouflage patterns

Hide-in-plain-sight prints

Camouflage patterns are designs intended to make something blend into its surroundings.

Military uniforms use patterns like woodland, desert, or digital camo to obscure soldiers against specific terrains.

The term extends to civilian fashion, where camo patterns are worn decoratively: He showed up in camouflage pants and a black hoodie.

Animal camouflage patterns—stripes, spots, mottling—evolved for concealment from predators or prey.
