As colour combinations go, there are a few tried and tested pairings that fashion people come back to on repeat. This week, however, two of my favourite celebrities styled looks with the very same under-the-radar colour combination that's yet to hit the mainstream. Combining pale yellow with a warm camel shade, both Emily Ratajkowski and Laura Harrier opted for what I think makes for a very expensive-looking colour palette I predict will take off this season.
Stepping out in their matching looks within a day of each other, Ratajkowski styled hers in the form of a soft yellow leather jacket that she wore with a black T-shirt and high-waisted camel trousers. Harrier then wore a suede jacket in the same buttermilk yellow shade that she paired with a slouchy camel shoulder bag. Keeping the rest of her outfit chic and relaxed, the actor completed her look with a fresh white tee, ripped jeans and sleek black mules.
Whilst celebrities are warming to this colour combo, the runways have also dabbled in the pairing over the past few seasons. One example is MaxMara's S/S 24 runway show, in which variations of the pairing featured on repeat, creating a fresh shade duo that felt relaxed, grounded and very refined. You might not think you've seen much of this combo before, but it's actually been around for some time now, albeit quietly, in the form of the leopard-print trend.
Leopard-print motifs have been a favourite amongst fashion people for the past few months, and camel and yellow outfits are reminiscent of classic leopard tones—think of it as a deconstructed take. The soft yellow and warm camel shades work so well together, and a stronger pairing of brighter yellow and chocolate brown also delivers a high-impact look based on the same principles.
