There are many brands that specialise in this particular breed of expensive-looking outerwear. Max Mara, for example, is known for its camel coats and has been producing the most iconic versions for many years, including its Manuela style. On the high street, though, we've noticed some labels are especially good at creating them on a smaller budget: H&M and Mango are always our first stops when we're looking to replenish our outerwear selection.

Lately, single-breasted camel coats in relaxed silhouettes have caught our eye. But there are so many other options around. Although a classic robe style will always tick the boxes, sometimes, it's good to experiment with different buttons or closures to suit your personal style tastes and to make your camel coat feel more current, should that be your desired aesthetic. Either way, though, this is a coat that's hard to get wrong.

This, however, presents a slight problem—with so many options out there to choose from, it's hard to know if you're looking at the best ones. As such, we've made finding your perfect one easier by rounding up the most impressive styles for your consideration. Go on. Keep scrolling to shop our edit of the best camel coats to invest in.
