The camel coat is a great classic among men's outerwear and coats : a symbol of class and good taste, it represents an ideal of timeless elegance . But what are the best combinations for an outfit with a camel coat? Let's find out together.
Long, trendy or casual chic: it's a passepartout
The characteristic of a camel coat is that it can really be worn with everything! It is in fact a passepartout coat that all men should have in their wardrobe. Perfect for a business appointment or a company meeting (especially if combined with a gray or black suit) , it is also ideal in casual chic outfits , together with jeans and a shirt, or with a turtleneck sweater. For those who can boast a good height, the long camel coat for men is the most suitable choice, as it does not bulk up and slims the figure. For more formal occasions, however, the advice is to opt for the double-breasted camel coat : if combined with buttons of a certain importance it can really make the difference. If, on the other hand, we love street style and we like to be comfortable, it is not said that we have to give up this garment. On a sporty outfit, perhaps with combat boots or ankle boots, a slim fit model (i.e. tight and body-hugging) may be suitable. Be careful, though! The slim-fitting coat cut is only suitable for slim and slender figures: if you are a few extra pounds, it is better to avoid it.
The importance of fabrics and materials for a flawless camel coat
No one forbids you to buy a camel-colored coat in a department store or low-cost clothing store. However, a tailored garment made with the best fabrics ensures the guarantee of durability for life. It is right in case of saying that "the more you spend, the less you spend". Let's think for example of a cashmere coat: not only will it be much more beautiful, easier to wear and more comfortable, but it will be much warmer than synthetic fabrics , ensuring real protection against the cold. The same goes for wool: a camel-colored wool coat (of any type, as long as it is pure wool) ensures greater elegance and durability for years and years, especially if purchased in a classic cut.
Don't forget the accessories: matching shoes, bags and glasses
One last thing not to forget when wearing a camel coat is the accessories. Shoes, bags, backpacks and glasses can be chosen in different colors, there is a lot of freedom. The nuances that match best are black, dark brown or caramel . Then if you prefer lace-ups or combat boots, backpacks or shoulder bags, the choice is personal: any model can be shown off.
