The two colours

What brown and camel each bring

brown

A warm, mid-to-dark earth tone that grounds an outfit. Less formal than black, and the classic leather colour.

Works best as: Shoes, belts, knitwear and trousers.

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.
