Bolder than black, fresher than brown, camel is the new It neutral. No longer exclusive to old-school topcoats, the classic hue now colors everything from trilbies to sweaters to high-top sneakers.
On the runway, designer Christophe Lemaire used camel to warm his label’s Parisian coolness; Stefano Pilati added pops at Ermenegildo Zegna; while Italo Zucchelli peppered Calvin Klein Collection with full looks in camel monochrome.
Not ready to try the trend head-to-toe? Try your hand with Gucci’s shearling jacket, or keep your crush a secret with Prada’s pocketable wallet.
