Key Item Spring 2013 - double pocket camp shirt

Agreed, maybe it's not the most adventurous trend of all as one can suggest! However, double pocket camp shirt is on the top of my shopping list. Among the first prototypes that worth mentioning was famous shot of Verushka in Safari suit by YSL (1968) that inspire this style. Wearing this shirt,  one  can be a part of a set of "Out to Africa" exploring African safari or  city dweller of New York who'll   find this attire useful to survive in the sizzling heat of "concrete jungle" especially if it's made from natural fibers. This piece can be worn for any occasion if you style it respectively.
