Camel Coats: The Maximum Dear-Taking a look Factor You'll be able to Ever Put on

The humble camel coat has long been considered something of a hero when it comes to outerwear—and for good reason. Chic, flattering, timeless and versatile, it has serious wardrobe staying power. That's the reason so many fashionable women rely on them—and why it's so important you pinpoint the camel coat that really works hard for you. Cue: our guidance.

And we’re not alone in championing the iconic coat. Year in and year out, the savviest street style stars continue to choose the classic coat in favour of other standout options, confirming that this universally adored item remains the ultimate investment piece. There are many brands that specialise in this particular breed of expensive-looking outerwear—Max Mara, for example, are known for their many iterations on the camel coat. Meanwhile, on the high street we've noticed some labels are especially good at creating them on a smaller budget: & Other Stories has become a secret little go-to for us every time we're looking to replenish our outerwear selection.

So what’s new for A/W 17? Some key silhouettes and finishes have stuck, but we’ve spotted a few new iterations to add to our ever-expanding collections. In terms of styling, tailored cuts will always be a wise choice when it comes to workwear; err on the side of caution, and stick to mid-length, tailored lines for a sleek look. And for off-duty dressing? The choice is endless. Asymmetric hemlines, supersize cocoon shapes, belted robe styles perfect for slinging on over chunky knits and jeans—we dare you not to fall in love with a new-season camel coat.
