The Camel Coat

The traditional Camel Coat has long been considered something of an icon when it comes to outerwear. Smart, flattering, timeless and versatile, it has serious wardrobe staying power. That’s why they come in and out of fashion every so many years and why it’s so important you to get yours this Autumn.

I’m not alone in championing the iconic coat. Year in and year out, street-stylers and the fashion conscious continue to choose the classic coat in favour of other options, confirming that this universally adored item remains the ultimate investment piece.

There are many brands specializing in this wardrobe staple in 2018 from & Other Stories to Zara.

Whether you wear yours over black leather jeans and a black polo neck, like I would, or a little black dress and red heels, or even a grey hoodie and grey jeans, the Camel Coat will always look classy and expensive.

Lately, camel coats with asymmetric hemlines, oversized silhouettes and belts have caught my eye, but although a classic double-breasted Crombie will always tick the boxes, sometimes it’s good to experiment with different silhouettes to suit your own individual style tastes.

Here are the very best – all at Zararight now. Expect to pay around £100.
