The Color That Makes Everything Look More Expensive

There's a reason camel is the signature shade of the perennially chic trench coat. Something about this classic neutral hue brings a luxe, well-made feel to any piece, no matter the price point. As a bonus, it meshes well with nearly every other color, from basic to bold, which is why it will never go out of style. It's just as versatile as black, but it's more interesting by a mile.

To show you how fashion girls wear camel, we scoured street style images that feature the very best uses of the color, whether via a trench coat nonchalantly thrown over a graphic tee or in a flirtier way, courtesy of a camel midi skirt. The takeaway? While outerwear is undoubtedly the go-to use of camel, don't be afraid to wear the color head to toe or in the form of something less expected, like a pair of trousers. Ready for a little camel inspo?

Read on to see chic ways to incorporate camel into your wardrobe and then shop stylish camel items that look and feel so much more expensive than they really are.
