Year in, year out the camel coat has become a wardrobe classic that every woman needs in their life. Rewind to 1908 when designer brand Jaegar made the first ever camel coat made from actual camel hair, to now where the coats are made of wool and other materials at a fraction of the cost.
The versatile coat gives you the option to pair with an LBD and boots heels for a night out, or comfy loungewear and trainers for a last-minute dash to the shops. With styles such as belted, buttoned, single or double-breasted in maxi or midi, there’s a camel coat for everyone. Since fashion icons Kate Middleton, Victoria Beckham and Naomi Campbell have all been spotted out in the iconic coat recently, they’ve had us searching for our own version to add to our winter coat collection.
So you’re not endlessly scrolling the internet trying to find your next investment piece we’ve scouted out 11 best high-street camel coats to buy now and wear forever, starting from £30.
