As the Barbie movie continues to dominate the global box office, with earnings exceeding a billion dollars, it’s evident that the demand for all things pink is on the rise.

Camouflage patterns have been a consistent favorite in street style, known for their association with a rugged, tough-guy or girl aesthetic, inspired by their origin in military fatigues. To anchor this look effectively, pair it with the black Hut Ultra Wrap for a striking contrast against the typically intricate pattern. Finish off your ensemble with a comfortable muscle shirt and a practical nylon bag for an effortless everyday outfit.

Elevate your sandal game by pairing them with socks in bright, attention-grabbing colors. Think of striking hues such as vibrant reds, deep greens, and rich purples – the options are limitless. One handy guideline is to opt for complementary colors, which can either be opposites on the color wheel or adjacent to each other. For instance, the navy Hut Ultra Wrap complements Merrell’s signature orange socks brilliantly, creating a visually striking contrast.

While mastering color coordination in an outfit, especially with vibrant shades, can be a skill, opting for a single palette is a reliable method to ensure your look is consistently impeccable. Time-tested neutrals like browns, beiges, greys, and soft greens create a foolproof color scheme that effortlessly harmonizes, even when incorporating multiple layers and accessories. For your socks, embrace the classic white or beige options to achieve the ultimate 90s normcore aesthetic.
Cargos
Say goodbye to skinny jeans because cargos are staging a remarkable comeback! This Y2K classic is reemerging, gracing runways and street fashion in an array of colors, lengths, and materials. Their practicality aligns perfectly with the 2020s, offering ample pockets and a more relaxed fit. The utilitarian features of the Hut Ultra Wrap, including hook and loop closures and buckles, harmonize seamlessly with the cargo pants’ multi-pocket functionality.
