Picture this; it’s a cold London day and you’re walking down a quiet street huddled into your belted camel coat, your lips are accessorised with a slick of vibrant red and your leather gloved hands clutch a cigarette-holder. Ok maybe I am being a little dramatic but slip on a camel coat and you too will be transformed into this more sophisticated world.

You can’t have missed the camel revolution this season, it was all over the runways back in February, everywhere from Celine to Chloe, Marc Jacobs to Marni. Consequently it is all over our magazines and in our shops. There is something innately glamorous about a camel coat, whether it is the images it conjures of more alluring eras or that it is simply tres chic.

Here is my pick of the best out there whatever your budget…..
