The first of The Coats...

… although there aren't going to be very many (as in coat posts) but I HAD started on just doing camel coats.. and then suddenly I came across a whole load of amazing check ones... and then I had loads of questions today over on Insta about my aviator jacket from last year so there will be a couple. 

But first up - as I promised yesterday, we are looking at camel numbers. 

Double breasted, single breasted.. and whatever else I come across.  Oh I know - different lengths.  Personally I love a long coat but I think this is just because I'm tall and I know I can't really get my hands on them easily.  I'm sure we all mostly want what we can't have. 

But then I do like the single breasted blazer style too.. 

And you may have worked out that this is one of those blogs that I've just started writing with no research having been done.   I research as I go along (yup - winging it, like I pretty much do with most things.  I'd love to say that this has always worked out well for me but....) and so who knows what we're going to come across. 

First up shorter styles which I know are probably more popular with most people. 

Bershka double breasted car coat £59.99

And then straight into the long... although it's probably only long on people who aren't 5ft10.

Maxi Coat in Camel from New Look £54.99



Single breasted at Autograph at M&S £119



Pure investment classic chic at Jaeger.

Camel Boyfriend Coat £320



Classic and pared back at Winser London at John Lewis £229



Belted at Mango £139.99



Slightly off piste at & Other Stories.. not what I would call a "classic camel coat" but one that would definitely be an excellent neutral addition to any wardrobe.  I guess it's just a question of what style would work best for you. 

Wool Blend Long Coat from & Other Stories £89



And then if you fancy a slightly different shade of camel - there is more of a tan version at New Look, with a detail on the back that I think does make all the difference. 

Tan Bar Back Revere Collar Maxi Coat £44.99



Along with a belted version at Mango £139.99



And finishing with a classic that isn't entirely a coat but if you don't need a thick coat, this is ideal.  Perfect for into Spring as well. 

Modern Rarity Belted Coatigan from John Lewis £130

I love this look so much.  Like love it with an ache! 



And just to prove they go with everything - take this outfit today which was ridiculously casual and practical - but swap the aviator for a camel coat and suddenly it's perfect for any occasion! (maybe give the boots a once over with a wet wipe!)

So does a camel coat fit into your wardrobe?  Or is there another coat plan that you're hatching?  I have to say, I have another suggestion for you tomorrow but it is slightly more out there... you have been warned... *get your sunglasses*.
