Camel is one of the most popular trends for autumn/winter 2010 and has been regularly seen gracing the catwalk over the past few months, by designers including Burberry, Stella McCartney and Gucci. Camel is such a fresh and neutral colour, that it can be worn with many other colours and styles. It is also a colour which can instantly make an outfit appear more expensive, as it will give a more luxurious feel to your look.
 An essential piece of ladies fashion this season is a  jacket, and will be instantly more stylish if you wear it in a gorgeous camel shade. A military, duffel, cape-style or oversized camel jacket, are all key trends at the moment, and will look good over almost any outfit. Unlike many other colours, you can wear an outfit which is completely camel coloured, from head to toe, including your shoes.
If you are looking for an outfit to wear to the office, a crisp, white blouse with a camel leather skirt and camel shoes will keep you stylish and is a good alternative to wearing the standard black colour we normally associate with work. You can also wear a stylish blazer over your outfit, to make your look even smarter. Update this with some costume jewellery, for an even more expensive looking outfit.
You can also mix camel up with another key trend; animal print. An animal print blouse with a camel coloured skirt or trousers is a great look, or accessorise your outfit with an animal print handbag. A pair of shoes in this trend will also go well with camel.
Figure fixing a-line or shift day dresses in camel, with a pair of camel heels is a look which you can wear almost anywhere, whether it’s for work, a night out or for shopping at the weekends. You can adapt your outfit with some costume jewellery, to suit the occasion.
 Camel goes extremely well with denim, so a denim blouse with a pair of camel trousers or skirt is a good style choice, or a pair of blue jeans and a camel top. Jumpsuits are also very stylish this season and if you wear these in denim fabric, with a camel jacket over the top, you will look instantly more fashionable.
Another great everyday look, is a camel mini dress with a pair of camel knee high or ankle boots. Wear a black belt with your dress to accentuate your gorgeous curves, and some costume jewellery to suit the occasion.
If you opt for a plain styled camel top, then make the most of your look with a textured skirt. This will make your look more vivacious, and is a style you can wear for those special nights out.
 When you are choosing jewellery to wear with your camel outfit, you should be aware that gold goes extremely well with this colour. Gold is also quickly taking over from silver as a key trend for this season.

If you want to accessorise your camel coat, there are almost unlimited options.

Whilst most camel coats are wool or a wool mix, a quilted coat also looks really sophisticated. It has a soft and comfortable without being too bulky.
There has been plenty of talk about the colour camel for autumn and winter fashion this year. Camel is a bit of a strange description for the colour that falls somewhere between brown, beige and yellow. A sort of warm toffee caramel colour that can also include sand or taupe as a description.
One of the key reasons for the huge interest in this colour is its versatility and adaptability. It is a colour that will never really go out of fashion, which is important when it comes to investment buys. It also goes with almost every other colour that exists and looks great with almost all hair colours and skin tones. It has a warmth that many of the other neutrals don’t possess and yet still looks calm and subtle when worn alone or can look striking when combined with black or bright colours. The camel coat is one of the clothing items that everyone wants this year and it is not surprising as these factors are all really important when looking for an everyday coat that you will want to keep for future seasons.
Grey is another great neutral colour which works well for all sorts of clothing from work suits to knitwear and really casual jersey pieces. Whilst not as flattering for everyone, grey still has a place in this winters neutral colour palette. Like all colours grey covers a range of shades from almost white through to almost black. Picking the right grey for your colouring is key to looking good. You can even opt for a kind of combination between grey and beige which has recently been given the name ‘greige’. To add interest to a grey outfit try layering different shades of grey.
Black is obviously the king of neutral colours. It is slimming and goes with every thing but does have its down sides as it can make you look quite drained. To make best use of black try wearing it on areas of the body that you wish to minimise or make look smaller and combine it with other neutral colours for a subtle look or bright colours for a more eye catching look.
White and cream are some of the best neutrals to wear for the summer but not colours that would immediately spring to mind for wearing in the winter. Knitwear and thick or woollen clothes in these neutrals can work really well for the winter. A really striking minimalist look can be created by just wearing white or cream with perhaps a few tan leather accessories.
Navy is another very flattering colour that also looks amazingly chic. The colour navy is mostly associated with the nautical trend but can also be combined with many different colours for a really striking look. Finally brown is a great colour for autumn and looks great when combined with oranges, yellows and reds for a really rich and warm coloured outfit.
So even if you love bright colours, neutrals might have their place in your wardrobe. They make a great background or base on which to feature your bright colours and to make sure that they can really stand out.
As we move towards the end of the summer, it is time to start preparing for the colder weather and putting a little thought into the subject of winter coats. This winter, there will be two contrasting trends for coats statement winter coats and versatile classic coats in colours which include navy and camel. The camel coat is being described as the must have coat for everyone in the fashion know this season due to its versatile colour. But a camel coat is not for everyone. Some people prefer to be a little bit different and have their own unique style. For those wanting to look individual and stand out from the crowd, the statement coat is the best option. These are the coats that make a statement using colour, pattern, shape or texture. These are the coats that will be the key feature of the outfit and the coats that are bound to become a talking point. Many of the more luxurious styles of statement coat also work really well as an evening coat to wear on a night out for for a special occasion.
This winter some of the biggest statements will be made with texture – think faux fur, velvet and shearling and with pattern – think animal prints. There will also be a range of different shapes from long military styles to cape styles.
The deep colours of this magenta and lime shoulder detail long sleeved coat are what makes it so special. It also has a very on tremd shape with its pointed shoulders. It would look great with a pair of bright pink tights and some winter boots.
We just don’t seem to be able to get away from animal print this year but that is not a bad thing. This animal print coat has a small scale print in really versatile black and grey colours. The collar, buttons and pocket edges are made with velvet for a touch of luxury.

This dip dye boiled wool coat is a great way to follow the trend for cape shaped coats but also get a classic coat that will last for many years to come. The striking dip dye effect in black and white make it really unique.
