urban camouflage

Concrete jungle concealment

Urban camouflage is clothing or patterns designed to blend into city environments—typically combining grays, blacks, whites, and muted blues that echo concrete, asphalt, and building facades.

Military and tactical gear sometimes feature urban camo for operations in built-up areas.

The term also describes any effort to blend inconspicuously into an urban setting: His hoodie and earbuds were perfect urban camouflage on the subway.
