Every Closet Needs One: My Camel Coat Picks for 2019

September 18, 2019

Whenever I get asked the question "what are your closet essentials?" a camel coat is always on my personal must-have-list. Whether you're fair, dark, in between, there's a shade and a shape that can suit any skin and body type.

While the ones I am wearing are no longer available, I've compiled similar options and my favorites in various price points.
