There is no more quintessential wardrobe staple than the camel coat, and from our point of view, nothing more chic. Bombers and puffers will come and go, the trench coat will take on checks, cut-outs and contrast sleeves and faux fur will age and moult, but a good camel coat is perennially stylish. Practical and chic, it's easy to understand why camel coats are a timeless favourite.
Whether you pair it with jeans and a Breton top, pop it over a slip dress or use it to hide your minimal effort joggers and tee, you can always rely on it to keep you on the right side of pulled-together. So from Marks & Spencer right through to the best of Net-A-Porter's designer outerwear, we've got you covered. Worn and loved by the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the reigning queens of the minimalist fashion scene who just can't seem to get enough of these biscuit hues - and we can see why. Match with an equally minimal white ensemble for a classic clean look or throw on over your summer dress for chillier evenings. But minimal doesn't have no mean boring, far from it. With oversized lapels, elongated silhouettes and shearling these styles are all a take on this classic piece.
From high street finds right through to the Loewe and Alexander McQueen camel coats of your designer dreams, there's something in here for everyone.
