Black and Camel...Great Color Combo!!

One of my favorite color combinations is black and camel.  Camel is such a rich color and paired with black, it becomes powerful, elegant, and fashionable.  
 
And this season I really see this color combo in coats.  There are so many trench coats out there now with the black and camel color combination.  Rebecca Minkoff, Bebe, Dover and Burberry have all come out with camel coats showcasing black sleeves.  Some of the black sleeves are actually leather!

BCBGeneration has a great camel and black wide horizontal striped pleated skirt that is so chic.  And I know that all of you probably have at least one black top in your closet to go with that great skirt.  And Max Mara has my favorite dress.  It's a beautifully color blocked shift dress that is basically all camel except at the bottom where there's a thin stripe of black and charcoal.  It is so stunning, chic and gorgeous!!!

H&M has a great camel wrap with black strips, which is perfect to throw on this fall to keep you warm.  And the Loft has a great camel and black cape on the market.  So, you can take care of two huge fall trends in one...the cape and the camel/black color block combo.

As for shoes, camel and black is the most common color combo.  Michael Michael Kors has a great ballet flat with this color combo, and Ann Taylor has a great high heeled loafer style pump that's black and camel.  I could go on forever listing all the shoes, but all you have to do is check out any shoe department or shoe store and take a look for yourself.  They are everywhere!!

What's so easy about this color block combination is that it's very simple to do.  Just take a black sweater and pair it with camel pants or a camel skirt...wear all black and add camel shoes and a camel belt..wear all camel and add black accessories, etc.  And the best thing is.....this trend will last season after season after season because it's so elegant yet chic!!!

Enjoy your day!!

I know that color blocking is such a big trend this fall, but the black and camel combo have been a classic look for such a long time.  It's kind of funny that it's a "trend" this fall season because every year, no matter what, you always see this color combo out in full force.
