If you find yourself skipping over the neutrals, gravitating toward something flashier, but always picking your black puffer jacket, you need to stop for a moment and consider the camel coat. It’s a staple for a reason: It never goes out of style, and it makes you look instantly put-together even if you’re just dashing to the bodega.
Commuting? Wear a camel coat. Weekend brunch? Wear a camel coat. Simply running errands? Don’t forget your camel coat! The coolest options on the market are timeless, versatile, easy to style, and ideal for layering. Camel coats and jackets elevate any fall or winter look while also keeping you nice and cozy.

The dest double-breasted camel coats
Available in sizes XXS-XXL
Take double-breasted coats to a whole new level with this Aritzia coat. It’s super practical, but also just a tiny bit playful.
Available in sizes 2-12.
It’s hard to find a camel coat that keeps you warm and snatches your waist, but I rose to the challenge (you’re welcome). Layer it over a simple turtleneck and jeans, then button it all the way up and you’ve got yourself an easy and flattering fall outfit.
Available in sizes 0-14.
This Reiss coat is crafted from double-face wool, so the interior is just as warm as the exterior. It features oversize lapels and a tailored fit that feels dressy and polished. I also love that the buttons are camel-colored instead of the standard black or brown; it creates a sleek, monochromatic look.
Available in IT sizes 34-50.
Max Mara makes some of the best wool coats on the market; they’re timeless and versatile and make great investment pieces. This double-breasted one — which is 40 percent off right now — tapers in a bit at the bottom and features sleeves that are slightly cropped.
Available in sizes XXS–XL.
This double-breasted coat by Anine Bing is a timeless staple that looks cool layered over a T-shirt, hoodie, sweater, or anything in your closet, really.
The best belted camel coats
Available in sizes XXS-4XL.
If you’re like me and don’t always like the look of a tie belt but love the practicality of it in windy weather, this Mango find is a great choice. The belt is lightweight and removable, so it doesn’t change the overall shape or fit of the coat too much. It looks just as good left open as it does belted thanks to the oversize silhouette and lapel collar V-neck.
Available in IT sizes 36-46.
Belts can make or break your outerwear; flimsy ones make a coat look cheap but wide, and thick belts like the one on this Sportmax coat really elevate the overall look. I’m also a big fan of the notched collar and drop shoulders.
Available in sizes XXS-XL.
This oversize wool- and silk-blend coat is a little less “morning commute” and a little more “model of duty”; it’s also perfect for layering chunky knits and blazers underneath to really get the look.
Available in sizes 0-18.
A luxurious, quality winter coat can get expensive. But when you calculate the cost per wear of a classic coat you’ll wear day after day, it makes some sense. This Max Mara coat, made entirely of camel hair, will never go out of style.
The best open-front camel coats
Available in U.K. sizes 6–22.
This coat looks even cooler when it’s buttoned up, thanks to the concealed fastenings and wide collar. It gives the look of a tunic with the structure and warmth of a trench.
Available in sizes XXS-2XL.
If you’re searching for a no-frills camel coat that won’t break the bank, look no further than this under-$400 find from Rails. It’s made from a heavyweight wool blend and features deep, functional pockets to keep you warm.
Available in sizes XS-XL.
Made from a luxurious blend of wool and cashmere, this Toteme coat has a clean finish and roomy fit that’s ideal for layering. The draped shawl-like collar and shapeless silhouette give it an effortlessly cool, relaxed vibe.
The best single-breasted camel coat
Available in sizes XXS-XL.
Another easy and classic silhouette you don’t have to think too much about. This wool blend is lined and tailored for the best fit, and it’s available in petite and tall versions.
