Get Ready For Spring With This Camel Overcoat By The Platinum Tailor
Camel is the most versatile overcoat colour after black. It works with navy, grey, brown, cream, and most earthy tones. It reads as considered without being conservative. And a camel coat in a wool cashmere blend, with a velvet collar and a gold lining, is a different thing entirely from a beige polyester coat.
Why Camel Works
Camel is warm in colour temperature, which means it photographs and reads well in most lights. It's formal enough for a suit and relaxed enough for jeans. It's more distinctive than black without being difficult to wear.
The best camel coats are in a proper camel or tan wool, not beige or cream synthetic. The depth of colour and the natural warmth of the fabric are inseparable.

How to Wear a Camel Overcoat
With navy: navy suit or navy trousers under a camel coat is one of the best combinations in men's dressing. The contrast is clean and the colours work together naturally.
With grey: charcoal or mid-grey underneath a camel coat is subtle and smart. Works for the office or smart casual.
With brown: brown or tan leather shoes and a camel coat are a natural match.
With black: black trousers or jeans under a camel coat is bolder. The contrast is more graphic. Works well in the evening.
Size and Fit
The coat is cut to sit over indoor layers including a suit jacket. If you are between sizes, size up. Unsure of your measurement? Our size guide covers everything you need.
