If you take a look through my wardrobe it won’t take you long to notice that I’m very loyal to a few certain shades, and very opposed to many others. It’s not that I don’t think a varied shade range is chic—quite the opposite in fact—it’s more that I find a more pared back colour palette is much easier to wear for the day-to-day, and I loath buying items that I don’t get much wear out of.
Because of this habit, I have a few colours locked in the forefront of my mind whenever I go shopping to make any trip go a little smoother. Recently, however, I’ve had a new favourite neutral enter into my style rotation. A little brighter and fresher than the black and greys I typically reach for, this season camel jumpers are the style I’m searching for the most.
With a golden tone, this versatile colour adds warmth to an outfit in ways few other neutrals could. Styling well with blacks, browns and beiges, but also bolder hues such as red, green and, well, to save time, just about any other colour I can think of, rest assured that you’ll get plenty of wear out of such a knit.
Inherently refined, a camel jumper has an expensive-looking payoff that can well exceed the actual price tag. Part of the reason they look so luxe—and will make you look mega rich by proxy—is because they share the same DNA as classic camel coats. Just looking at the colour makes me think of premium brands like Max Mara, Loro Piana and The Row, all of whom create some of the best camel coats on the market. Thanks to this association, I’d go as far as to say that a camel jumper is one of the best investments you can make this winter, especially if looking high end is high on your agenda.
While I think there’s nothing chicer than a camel knit paired with classic blue jeans, this style also looks the chic part when worn with white pairs, as well as black tailored trousers, gemstone-hued slip skirts or, yes, even leggings.
Saturating the market right now, this elegant jumper is backed by so many brands this winter. H&M has produced several chic versions that undoubtably will sell-out by December, whilst Victoria Beckham’s wool turtle neck has also caught my eye.
