How to Wear Camel-Colored Coats
Camel coats are a wardrobe staple worth investing in for their versatility and staying power. I've got two Chanel cashmere coats in camel that I bought years ago for less than $500 each on eBay. One's fitted and dressy and one's big and slouchy, and they cover every need. The casual cut looks great over jeans, and both are great for adding some variety if dressing in all black is starting to feel too uniform. Camel also goes great with gray, navy, and red. With the popularity of camel in 2010 fall fashion trends, it's easier than ever to find other camel separates and accessories to pair them with including camel-colored shoes and boots. Chloe just showed an entire collection in camel, and luxurious camel-colored coats were prominent at Michael Kors, Alexander Wang, and other top designers.

Post a CommentIt's nice to know what the trends are! I have to buy a new coat! Thanks so much!
I love a good camel coat!
This would be a smart investment in a classic.
Camel color has always been one of my favorites.
When I was a child, my mother made me wear many things I did not like. One of those things was a Camel-hair coat. Oh, how unappreciative I was! I'd love to own one now. Interestingly, it was just a couple of years ago I bought my very first leather jacket, and here I am 62! Just shows to go ya!
