Fall Basics: A to Z, the letter C

C is for Camel Overcoat

Layering is a skill you acquire when its necessary for survival - no one likes to freeze in the fall - and the key piece to staying warm is a well structured coat. Seen everywhere from Gucci to Burberry, this season it's all about the camel hue and it's safe to say that a camel overcoat will stay in your wardrobe for many years to come. Pair it with thigh-high boots for night or military-inspired booties for day.

I invested in a camel overcoat last year and wore it all winter with everything.
