The beige coat, like Amaia Salamanca's in the opera, the outerwear that solves winter
Every winter the same thing happens to us, we open the closet and what we want is to put on that camel coat that, winter after winter, continues to be a trend. It is impossible not to fall into the temptation of having one, if we take into account that it is the quintessential coat.
The cast of celebrities who have the model in their dressing room is endless. All. They all have it. It is not for nothing that any combination with beige is considered to be one of the most elegant. If it is joined with a boot, a more country look is left; with a more urban shoe or with sports shoes, impeccable.
It becomes the most practical coat, perfect to go to work, to go shopping. But it becomes sophisticated as soon as we adorn it with silk scarves, brooches and accompany it with hats. Omnipresent in the dressing room, the camel beige coat is a trend every winter. And that doesn't happen for free.
At first, the camel coat was not a feminine coat, but a masculine one, it appeared on the big screen in the 30s. But Greta Garbo arrived and she wanted to wear it and since it sat on her shoulders it became indispensable.
This is the story that Mauro, from the Class di Mauro outlet, told in the 2000s, while putting on your shoulders any of his Max Mara outlets, the brand that has made them iconic. The camel-coat of 2015 is legendary.
Beige coat: good reasons to invest in one
Why invest in a camel coat? Because it is a guarantee that it will never go out of style. If in just ten years they celebrate a century present on the shoulders of the most elegant women on the planet, it is because the cut, the color and the plant make it essential. The versions of the beige coat are multiplying, although it is the tight-fitting, double-breasted ones that continue to be liked the most.
Keep in mind that there is no self-respecting firm that does not have its version. If not every year, at least every two. That's because it has become an indispensable piece for its versatility. Test. Once he enters your life it will be difficult for you to get rid of him.
Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy, of course, had their beige coats. The images of her sheathed in them became a benchmark of fashion and sensuality in politics, for that of both shared president, and that Melania Trump recovered when she appeared with hers.
Emma Stone is capable of putting on her camel coat, even for a red carpet, which is not without attention, so used as we are that coats can only be dark for the night. And Amaia Salamanca does the same for a night at the Madrid opera, with Queen Letizia as her assistant as well.
María Kragmann has inaugurated the season wearing hers on her Instagram account.
Sara Carbonero is one of the unconditional supporters of the camel coat, which she wears in different versions, from the model combined with trainers to the one she wears with heels. Eugenia Silva is another of those in love with this coat. And Alexandra Pereira, like Sara, combines it with all kinds of footwear, sporty and elegant.
All of the above have been seen with camel coat models from Zara, which, every winter, versions it for less than €100
