The two colours

What black and camel each bring

A signature pairing. Warm camel softens black and looks expensive in coats and knits.

black

The deepest neutral: sharp, formal and slimming, with no temperature of its own. It makes any colour next to it look brighter, which is why it's the safest background for a bold piece.

Works best as: Trousers, shoes, outerwear and evening pieces. Near the face it can look severe on light, soft colouring.

camel

A warm, mid-light tan with a golden cast. It looks expensive, especially in wool coats and knits, and warms up every cool colour next to it.

Works best as: Overcoats, knits and trousers.
