The best camel coats to buy now for winter
Every stylish woman's favourite wardrobe staple
If the mysterious woman who inspired the #CleanGirl trend on TikTok had a winter wardrobe staple, it would be the camel coat. Chic, timeless, and never trying too hard, it's the coat to reach for when you want to look like you've got your sh*t together. It can help glossy up even the simplest outfits when you're in a rush (think jeans, a white button down, and your favourite ankle boots). Or, you can live your best fashion girlie life in a head-to-toe tonal look (think wearing all different shades of brown and beige). The options are endless.
Camel coats are perfect for any office dress code, but thanks to the neutral colour, they'll also play well with your comfy weekend clothes. Max Mara, Reformation and The Frankie Shop offer gorgeous picks if you're ready to spring for an investment piece. (A camel coat is one million percent a capsule wardrobe staple btw, if you're trying shop for quality over quantity these days.) If you're looking for one on a budget, H&M, Mango, Zara, New Look, and River Island all have great ones this season.
If you're ready for that new coat feeling, scroll down to shop our Editors' picks of the 21 best camel coats to buy at every budget.
Max Mara Manuela Icon Belted Camel Hair Coat
Meet Max Mara's Manuela camel coat: the ultimate capsule wardrobe investment. This roomy, timeless cut will last you for decades to come.
& Other Stories Relaxed Alpaca Blend Coat
& Other Stories' wool-blend coat is one of the best we've seen on the high street this season - that cut is perfection. Plus, it's currently on sale. A Christmas present for moi, perhaps?
You can always count on Mango. This luxe outerwear piece has a roomy silhouette that's perfect for layering over your fave knitwear or a hoodie.
Looking for a coat to go with your NYE outfit? We've found the perfect one. H&M's calf-length twill number will look gorge draped over your 'out out' dress and knee-high boots, or match the neutral hue with a pair of metallic trousers and a sparkly 90s halterneck top.
Stories' short belted version is the perfect officewear jacket that'll see you through to spring, and it's a great example of effortless French girl dressing. We love.
COS prides itself on timeless, stylish staples. This tailored wool number is a classic example. If pale beige doesn't suit you, the darker copper hue is also a cool alternative.
Simply Be Camel Maxi Patch Pocket Faux Wool Coat
You really can't go wrong with a camel coat and a pair of black ankle boots. Hello, weekend uniform! Simply Be's classic single-breasted style is available in sizes 10-32.
Zara's belted camel coat looks so sleek and soft, that it could almost doubls up as a tailored blanket. Toughen up the trend with lace-up boots, cargo trousers and layers of chunky silver jewellery.
For something slightly different, we adore Gini London's hooded cape. The faux fur trim and floaty silhouette are a festive season dream - just add a pair of snow boots and you're good to go. ❄️
We love the proportions of this Ted Baker coat, from the wide cross-over collar - that has a magnetic fastening at the top - to the longer tie belt. All of the glamour.
Reformation Paley Double Breasted Coat
Hot Girl Winter is here, thanks to Reformation's dreamy Paley double-breasted coat. We're taking styling notes from the model and wearing ours with a matching hue maxi dress and the shoe of the season, the biker boot in worn-in brown leather.
River Island is on top of their coat game this season, as per. So many great options under £100 - like this camel longline beauty.
The Frankie Shop Gaia Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Coat
Minimalist clothing lovers, meet The Frankie Shop. If you like modern tailoring, muted tones and effortless pared-back style this is the brand for you and it just so happens they have a TDF camel coat, too.
We love the almost floor-skimming length on Whistles' sleek textured coat. This is that coat you'll always reach for that will complete any outfit.
Karen Millen Plus Size Italian Wool Cashmere Forever Notch Neck Midi Coat
An office outwear gem by Karen Millen is currently on sale, down from £349. The dream camel coat is available in sizes 18-24. Get it while it's hot.
Simply Be Plus Size Single Breasted Unlined Camel Coat
Simply Be's effortless camel coat is available in sizes 20-32, and priced well, too.
Cowboy boots, wide leg jeans, and a thin knit top pair perfectly with M&S belted calf-length camel coat.
Wallis' sturdy belted coat is something you'll reach for for years to come and lucky for us, this killer wool-blend number is now 40% off.
How cool is the structured silhouette on Mango's tailored number? We love the prominent shoulders and cinched waist. It looks even more premium than its high-street price tag suggests.
We're into Zara's batwing sleeve style - the shorter length is ideal if you find that longer coats drown your frame, too.
