The two colours

What camel and charcoal each bring

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.

charcoal

A dark, slightly softer alternative to black. It is formal without being severe, and pairs with both black and brown shoes.

Works best as: Suits, trousers, coats and winter knits.
