A Return to Camel-lot
‍
Camel—the darling of quiet luxurists (yes, we’re coining it). And in winter? She sparkles.
‍
The camel Max Mara teddy coat? Divine. She launched a thousand copy-camels for a reason. Pair her with off-white (my favorite, bien sûr), black, or navy. There is no wrong with this coat. She is the outfit.
‍
A camel cashmere? She whispers my name. Honestly, I don’t think you can own too many. But in the spirit of distilled: Guest in Residence’s camel crewneck sits top of the heap—or the hump? No further applications needed. Simple. Iconic. She plays equally well with denim or ivory wide-leg trousers. Gigi’s locked it. Are you surprised? Of course not. Add GIR’s two-toned Grizzly jacket? Chef’s kiss.
‍
Want to dress her up for a spin through the city? Tom Ford’s camel silk pussy-bow blouse brings couture-level chic. Pair with a slouchy suede boot—Paris Texas’ Elsa, if you please.
‍
Tan jeans? More than a moment. They’ve been on my radar since summer. A warm alternative to a sea of blue—SLVRLAKE’s Tess won’t let you down. Add Aureum’s No. 19 Tuscan croc belt in gold, Toteme’s suede hobo, and their sculptural leather cuff—and you’re done.
‍
Accessories? The sure-fire way to a camel’s heart—or mine. Max Mara’s bucket hat? Perfect for a winter’s day. Jimmy Choo’s Amal patent kitten heel? Effortless and goes with everything. Prefer to hit a flat note? Alaïa’s shearling-lined ballet flats will have you gliding through the snow in style. Slide Saint Laurent’s suede hobo over your shoulder, put on your aviators, a spritz of Byredo’s Vanilla Antique, and just like that?
‍
Every other camel’s fawning in your wake.
‍
Camels may go days without water.
But on ice?
‍They shine.
