Hermès Just Unofficially Named This the Richest Color of the Season
Though it'll take months for the S/S 25 collections that premiered during fashion month a few short weeks ago to hit the market, you can always take inspiration and incorporate any trends from the shows into your looks with zero delays. Maximalist styling advice? Check Valentino. Modern elegance? Try Toteme or Max Mara. The same goes for the Hermès show, which was all about camel tones in the opening looks.
Despite being a spring collection full of mesh materials, cropped silhouettes, and hot pants made for warmer weather, the offering at Hermès this season still managed to likewise set our wardrobes up for fall and winter, thanks to its color palette. After all, camel is one of autumn's richest colors. Yes, camel coats, are the most synonymous with the color, but you can find any kind of garment or accessory in the shade too.
The best thing about camel is that it makes every outfit look more expensive, whether you wear just one item in the hue or dress in it from head to toe. From ribbed maxis and knit miniskirts to cozy turtlenecks and rustic barn coats, there's something camel for everyone in the 29-item shopping list below. I included finds from go-to brands like Reformation, J.Crew, and Zara, as well as some designer alternatives from brands like Totême, Khaite, and Ferragamo. I get the feeling that, after scrolling through every last piece, camel might very well be your new favorite color.
Shop the best camel-colored items of the season:
A V-neck sweater just looks expensive, but luckily this cashmere one won't break the bank.
This whole set needs to be purchased immediately, not just because it's perfect, but also due to the fact that it's selling out *so* quickly.
Shop the matching Laudine Skirt ($98).
This high-collar top will look amazing with jeans if you're not into the matching set of it all.
Shop the matching Voluminous Soft Midi Skirt ($30).
The navy hue was popular in this style last season, but the camel is pretty convincing too, no?
A matching jacket and skirt with knee-high boots will be your fall go-to.
Add a pair of the brand's boxers to your look whether you're going for something cozy or heading out.

In 2017, she returned to Cosmo full time, starting off as the beauty and fashion editorial assistant and working her way to fashion editor. She contributed to both the website and print issues, pitching new ideas, forecasting trends, covering red carpet events, and informing the overall coverage and brand voice.

She's always trying to get ahead of the next big trend before it goes mainstream and loves discovering fashion brands with a unique point of view (Chopova Lowena, Sandy Liang, and Bode being some of her current favorites). She also spends an unhealthy amount of time online shopping for the perfect piece, and now that she's in L.A., she's rediscovering her soft spot for malls. On the weekends, you can find her walking around the Silver Lake Reservoir, trying to catch up on her tan at Venice Beach, and probably ordering a Chinese chicken salad at Joan's on Third.
