An outerwear collection is incomplete without an elegant camel coat.
Hold off on purchasing that trend-focused piece you've been lusting after recently, for when it comes to timelessness, the camel coat wins every single time.
As far as wardrobe heroes go, let it be known: a timeless piece of neutral outerwear is worth its weight in style gold. Navy and black are arguably more versatile, but a well-proportioned, biscuit-hued coat instantly exudes luxury.
Good news for capsule wardrobe fans, the styling options are plentiful. Throw it over a pair of low-waisted boyfriend jeans, use it to elevate a slightly tired neutral polo neck, or layer it over a knitted midaxi and thigh-high boots.

How we chose the pieces:
- Style: 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. We've delivered on scope - from Joseph trenches to H&M belted pieces, these are the camel coats we're lusting after this autumn.
- 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. Essentially, 'camel' can be forgiving, and our choices reflect that.
- 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.
Hello! Fashion shares the most stylish camel coats to shop this season:
Wool Maxi City Coat
Jigsaw
Cut from a luxe brushed wool, this piece by high street stalwart Jigsaw is great if you're looking to invest, without the designer price tag. The piece features broad lapels and a single asymmetric button for a super flattering line.
Mabel Double Breasted Longline Coat
AllSaints
AllSaints' Mabel coat presents the sweet spot between tailoring and a relaxed fit. The silhouette is gently oversized, and yet the heavy weight of the blend adds a sense of structure. The finish is brushed rather than fuzzy which makes it feel both smart and classic.
Johnson Coat
Sézane
Crafted from a wool-polyamide blend, this piece by chic affordable designer label Sézane is the perfect straight-cut, mid-length option. The slim piped pockets don't disrupt the silhouette and the buttons (this is where most high street brands miss the mark) look super luxe.
Emile Wool Belted Blindseam Coat
Reiss
Reiss' Emile coat is an excellent alternative to Max Mara's signature belted style. The raised seams add interest, and the tie fastening allows for a bespoke fit.
Responsible Wool Exaggerated Shoulder Overcoat
Raey
On the richer end of the camel spectrum, this piece by Raey is categorically cool. Cut from a heavyweight felted wool, it features a super boxy silhouette and an exaggerated shoulder shape.
Felted Wool Coat
H&M
With a loose fit and a soft shaw collar, this felted wool piece by H&M is great if you're looking to minimise your autumn spend. The belt is detachable - useful for creating different silhouettes depending on what you've layered underneath.
Signature Wool-blend Coat
Totême
With a soft, draped collar as its focal point, this piece by Totême has a sense of effortlessness about it. Created from a luxurious wool-cashmere blend, it would lend itself to an easy-breezy autumnal layering moment.
Double-breasted Wool and Cashmere-blend Coat
Loewe
This piece by Loewe will see you through AW23 and beyond. The classic cut with gentle shaping around the upper half flows down into a cosy ankle-grazing length. With a distinctly tailored feel, the lapels feel sharp and elegant.
Rainwear Chatsworth Belted Double-breasted Shell Trench Coat
Joseph
Chic and practical in equal parts, this camel trench by Joseph will fend off the inevitable autumn showers with its water-resistant finish. Crafted from crisp shell, it has a silky, slightly crinkled, effect and poses a rich, interesting alternative to the more classic beige.
Textured Wool Blend Coat
Whistles
Crafted from a sumptuous wool blend, this piece by Whistles has a slightly hazy, fuzzy texture. Featuring a smart, double-breasted silhouette, it would work beautifully layered over a neutral quarter-zip and cool-girl jeans.
