As Worn by Njeri: Cozy Up with a Camel Coat for the Holidays

  • 8 years ago
When it comes to the endless shades of camels and nudes, beautifully flaunted on fashionable streets and runways around the world, it is to be noted that today’s neutrals are anything but bland or boring.

Luxurious, youthful, classy, and refined are just some of the ways the shades and tints of nude will have you looking and feeling. The easiest way to pull off this trend is with a timeless nude coat. This look is definitely not new to the fashion scene (think trench coats), but it's a modern-day necessity that everyone should have in their cold weather closets. While keeping you warm this winter season, it can add a statement to your basic jeans and tank ensemble. It is one of the most versatile pieces you can have. When matched with the right outfit it can take you from looking polished for a work day, to a fresh stand-out for an after-work cocktail. In addition, the nude coat can act as a blank canvas for your holiday color palette, nixing the question “Does this coat look ok with this blouse or dress?”

I always say, “practice what you preach,” so below is my styled look featuring my favorite over-sized camel coat. Matched with a nude fitted tank top and autumn-themed, printed pencil skirt. I accessorized the outfit with a gold choker and nude ankle-strapped platforms.
