Or how its versatility means you can match it with just about everything, thus endearing it to a fashion set itching to stand out in a sea of winter blacks, greys and blues. Designers such as Michael Kors and Bottega Veneta’s Tomas Maier have yielded to the charm of camel and dreamt up plush pieces to add to the closet. Regardless, there will be 50 shades of camel to choose from for the next six months, from soothing sand to delicious caramel.
