If you buy one coat this season, make it a camel one. This timeless piece is getting some major loving on the runways, with even Max Mara re-launching their iconic version. Whether paired with similar neutrals or set against bold cherry red or electric blue, the camel coat is a fab way to update your look (and keep nice and toasty) for fall. Now all you need to do is find one that suits your body type perfectly!

One other note: Pay attention to the shade of camel. It can run the gamut from sandy beige to rich butterscotch, so it’s important to pick a coat that highlights your unique skin tone. Cooler tones such as a rosy beige tend to work best for cool (read: pale) complexions), while warmer complexions can handle a more intense golden hue. If you’re worried about looking washed-out, add a scarf in a color that you know will give you a boost of radiance. Rachel Weisz's animal print scarf adds roses to her cheeks.

You're a click away from cutie Kristen Bell's coat!

Just avoid pets! Nothing more unkempt looking than seeing an animal hair covered coat.

These look so chic on other people, but camel washes me out. I have tried many times, but I just cannot wear that color. :(

I have a really hard time wearing any camel type tone because of my red hair and freckles. Classic and cool for most but a washout for the redhead, I would however love this coat in black or a green shade.
