Camel Coats – Are Top Picks for AW10

 

It’s one of the most iconic looks of AW10, the camel coat has fallen back into favour and it’s better than ever!

Once the statement coat of the wealthy (think circa 1980′s), the camel coat has always given off an air of grace – a luxe looking shade that’s flattering and easy to work with. Fast forward twenty years and it’s been created in styles that everyone can wear – and afford!

Incredibly flattering for all skin tones, paired with bold colours like navy, teal and red, the camel coat makes an eye-catching statement…or for the uber confident fashionista’s out there, team a camel coat with layers camel tones…

Our must-have, high street buy is the Alia Coat from Coast - a beautiful, elegant design, produced in a luxurious cloth with a cashmere blend; this camel coat is the most timeless and flattering style we’ve seen – a true capsule piece!

And here’s the best-of-the-rest…

The Cotton Camel Coat from Karen Millen is pure class! Military inspired with a funnel collar, it’s bang on-trend. For a classic style, have a gander at the Camel Coat from La Redoute and for an understated, timeless style, the Camel Mid Length Coat from Debenhams.

Camel Coat – French Connection AW10

The camel coat is THE style to invest in this AW10. A somewhat forgotten classic, our enthusiasm for this simple style has been re-ignited, largely due to French label Celine and their British designer Pheobe Philo – who has a passion for streamlined shapes and paired back designs…

Top marks go to French Connection, who offer up the All Hours Long Coat,  a wool and cashmere-blend long length camel coat that’s so simplistic and chic – it’s perfect for the lean towards minimalism this Autumn!

Team this camel coat with slim-line trews and a pair of heels…and for a tough, edgy look, try replacing the belt with a skinny, leather waist cincher!
