In Spring, your go-to top layer is an on-trend lightweight trench—this fall, choose a cover-up that is just as classic and versatile, and a bit warmer—the camel coat. This autumn is all about refined elegance, classic styling with fresh twists, and old-school glamour, and a camel coat is your first stop to make it yours. We’ll look at three variations of this must-have piece and how to pair these with the perfect something underneath.
A Mod Nod to Camel
Rock the retro look with a block cut camel coat with quiet details like this one from BCBG at Westside Pavilion ($398), pictured above. Perfect for overt and classy style at the office or over a glam LBD and tights—c’est tres chic!
Tucked and Tawny

Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($398).
Nip it in at the waist for a preppy, and timeless take on this investment piece. Pair with your skinnys and your boots du jour for style on the go, or layer over your leopard print sheath for instant party style. Here’s a “one-style-fits-everyone” look from Ann Taylor at The Oaks ($398).
Courting the Camel

Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($595).
Go flirty and feminine for the freshest new take on the camel coat. Try romantic ruffles, draped cuts with cozy, rounded silhouettes and then belt them for a little flair on the bottom. Wear this with just about anything– it’s an outfit in and of itself and you likely won’t take it off. Here’s a soft, buttery version from Nordstrom at Lakewood Center ($595).
