Camel Coated for Fall

Who doesn't love something that is timeless? In these trying economic times cost-per-wear is about all we have going for us when it comes to throwing down the big bucks for fashion. Thankfully, one of the fall trends that is most on par with this is head to toe camel. While I'm not 100% on par with what I've dubbed the Saharan Tuxedo (see Canadian tuxedo, get it? ha) I do like doses of it throughout every girl's wardrobe. 

Of all the shows that featured this Michael Kors (right & below) did it up right pairing camel coats with shearling collars (so huge right now) while Hannah McGibbon's Chloe' (above) continues to wow the masses by channeling the every-girl (every-rich-girl that is) who just loves high quality, understated luxury design wear.

Here's my Must Buy list for this fall camel trend, that thankfully will be wearable for many moons to come:

1. the camel coat: buy it, wear it, love it: eventually it will be cool again and this will look stunning with jeans and boots for fall/winter.

2. the camel trouser - think Annie Hall - high wasted'ish (not too high or too tight or risk looking like chunky Jessica Simpson) with a straight, slight flare leg: menswear tailoring at its finest.

3. the camel blazer: in the land of a million blazers this is the one to get with fall, try it in a boyfriend cut and put it over anything since it is a neutral - don't be afraid to pair it with black either although it looks its best with white, denim and cognac leather...
