Camel in colour with curves in all the right places. It seems camels have got it right for Autumn 2010. Indeedy the camel overcoat has always been an elegant wardrobe classic. In terms of investment dressing the camel coat is a must and in a post credit crunch era I am looking for ways to transform my look from ‘Hobo to Nobu’. I particularly liked the masculine silhouettes that were stomping the runways, particularly the classic double-breasted ¾ length at Gucci *mmm liquid toffee*
