I'm currently making a list for myself and wondered what everyone else has. Oath

For my summer look I go with the grey-man look.
Usually light chino jeans and a tee-shirt. I have an lightweight olive copy of a flight jacket I bought in Primark which I actually like loads. I wear my Magnum Amazon desert boots in the warmer months as I still need some ankle support and their one-way breathable membrane on the sides keep the feet cool.

If clothing for wearing in the BOL is needed I have lightweight S95 trousers, shirt and vests. I also have a good few pairs of olive green lightweight trousers.

My grey-man, everyday style clothing is pretty good however as it does pass as semi-fashionable but would also merge into the colours of the wilds if needed.

I was assuming that we'd continue to wear our combat clothes, it would make sense I suppose but other than combat clothes what other clothes would you have?

I was looking at your more 'casual' military clothing, clothes without camouflage such as these;

www.military1st.co.uk/10915001-mil-tec-ripstop-shirt-long-sleeve-olive.html
www.military1st.co.uk/sp-uts-pr-01-helikon-urban-tactical-shorts-8.5-black.html

And etc...

You wouldn't want bright tops and blue jeans with white trainers lol

Winter your camouflage. To be honest it might be best to go half way between the grey man and camo at all times with the earth/olive/tan colours.

All good bits of clothing in their own right for in the right place.
However, when you are out and about in your town look what people are wearing and work out what combinations would compliment bug-out clothing while being perfectly acceptable when walking along a street or into a local pub.

There was a TV show on recently called 'Special Forces Secrets', the documentary in question highlighted 'private contractors' who were working as security operatives within the Middle-Eastern theater. If it was not for the assault rifles and equipment rigs their clothing would have been basically casual attire.
Most wore cargo pants, albeit military grade, and a short sleeve shirt with a baseball cap on the head.
So, for your everyday clothing that's something to think about.
