As we transcend into winter, our big coats are coming out as we stow away our lighter jackets. Gone are the days of draping a denim jacket over a floaty summer dress, it's now time for a cosy knit layered under a trusty outerwear option.
The humble camel coat reigns hero when it comes to timeless outerwear, and with good reason. Its versatility to go with any outfit is unmatched and its chic, flattering hue gives it the edge that ensures it suits anyone - which is quite a hard task to master.

How we chose:
- Style & timelessness: Naturally, a super flattering coat silhouette is essential. When combing through the internet's top fashion sites for the best styles, we made sure that each of our picks had a certain classic appeal for maximum wearability.
- Colour: The magic of a 'camel' coat lies within the fact that it can be used as an umbrella term for a variety of shades depending on what suits your skin tone. Light tan, latte, dark sand, muted caramel - all these neutrals are united in their semblance to the colour of the much-adored hump-backed mammal's fur.
- Price: Whether you're planning on splashing out or bagging a bargain, we've got a piece in your price range. We've selected this season's most stylish camel coats, ranging from affordable high street and mid-level brands to luxe designer labels.
