The details

Fabric
A cold-weather piece: wool, knit, leather and suede sit best with it.

Avoid

What not to wear with camel knit dress

Skip the grey sneakers. Camel and grey are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the light blue denim jacket. A denim jacket is more casual than a knit dress, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: light blue is cool and bright against warm camel; it works, but white or grey would be crisper.
