The two colours

What camel and khaki 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.

khaki

The classic chino colour: a warm, light sand with a green-brown hint. Casual and relaxed, it is at home in spring and summer.

Works best as: Chinos, shorts and trench coats.
