Did ya hear? Camel is the new black — or at least it would appear that way judging by designers and retailers across the board. This yummy caramel hue has always been a beloved color of mine, especially when it comes to outerwear. In my book, a good camel coat is just as essential as a leather jacket. For some reason, camel has an uncanny ability to elevate pretty much any look instantly.

Forever 21 is one of my fave and affordable picks this season to stock up basics in this ultra-sophisticated hue. I rounded up a few of my faves for you in this post — from thick ribbed knits to a variety of suede fringe vests and jackets, you will want to pick up a few of these fab deals.
