Why you should own a camel coat this season
Words: India Gladstone
Wearing a camel coat may initially seem like a daunting prospect but we can guarantee that once you’ve got one on, you’re going to look (and feel) like the ultimate gentleman. Investing in a camel coat is something that every gentleman needs to do and if you do it right, you’re only going to buy one in your lifetime.
Think of the camel coat as the modern update on the trench (which is still a great purchase, by the way). It’s an investment; it screams luxury and it’s a brilliant way to earn serious style points. Wearing one is easy – and easier than you might think. The trick is to keep the rest of your outfit muted and casual and to not overthink it too much; this is the issue that so many gentlemen get wrong. The fasted way to look desperate and actually incredibly unstylish is to try too hard – you want your camel coat to fit into your personal style rather than look out of place in your wardrobe.
So, why camel? As a colour, it’s actually incredibly wearable; it’s warmer than cream and beige but lighter and softer than brown tones – and looks great on every skin tone and hair colour out there (including yours). One thing we can promise you about camel is that it’s timeless – you’re never going to regret investing in it and you’ll instantly become the most sophisticated and elegant gentleman out there. See below for our top 5 favourite camel coats.
