The two colours

What camel and dark brown 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.

dark brown

The deepest brown: rich, warm and quietly formal. Polished enough for the office, relaxed enough for weekends.

Works best as: Shoes, belts and winter knits.
