That is a very light shade of camel. I agree with you about the light gray plaid top not being the right choice. With this light shade, a dark charcoal, almost black would work well. How about a fashion show? Put it on and try everything in your closet! We'd all love to see photos, right, ladies? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-502305 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 04:06:18 +0000 Anonymous 502305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job Jewell! I was going to say what RoseandJoan said....charcoal grey might look better than a midtone grey that is the same tone as the camel. How about a print with it, even an unrelated one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-502082 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 01:35:37 +0000 Angie 502082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange and white! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-502022 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:59:39 +0000 Jewell 502022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost posted this exact question yesterday. I recently got rid of a camel pencil skirt because I couldn't seem to find anything to go with it, but I held on to my camel pants. Last night I did some playing around in my closet and I paired my camel trousers with a white sleeveless top and navy cardigan. It came together very nicely...wish I could post a pic. I really appreciate everyone's suggestions.</p> <p>ETA: I just realized I'm an active member and can now add photos- yay! I hope this picture isn't huge since it's my first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-502021 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:58:24 +0000 Aida 502021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The classic French colors work very nicely with camel: white/cream, red, navy, burgundy, black. I also like gray, charcoal, teal, eggplant, mallard green, and hunter green. Though of course it will depend a bit on the shade of camel you have I really like having some white or cream with the darker, richer colors to add brightness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501930 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 23:24:36 +0000 D'Ellen 501930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a neutrals gal, and I love grey and cream with camel. I have nostalgic memories of a years-ago camel/grey/cream sweater that I wore with grey pants. And of course all other colors that have been suggested...really, just about anything! Have fun experimenting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501900 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:25:22 +0000 Anonymous 501900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to say navy and teal, turqoise , burgundy. Really any deep color. Non pastel-ish goes well. But I tangerine tango and coral orange are so much different than the 70's decor feel. You might want to try that too. It seems very on trend now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501894 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 22:12:19 +0000 Isabel 501894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love navy with tan/camel.

Try it with lots of things in your closet. Can't wait so see some combos you find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501810 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:17:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 501810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another who prefers neutrals with camel, especially ink blue, navy, charcoal and white. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501798 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:55:54 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 501798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now we just need to see your pictures, Elisabeth! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501747 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:53:30 +0000 Aziraphale 501747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the suggestions, ladies!</p> <p>OK. Here's the skinny. I don't own any tops in red, purple, turquoise, salmon, cobalt or leopard. I do own gray, but it doesn't seem to go -- not to my eye, at least. But maybe you have to have the right shade of gray. None of my gray tops look good with it. And orange with camel reminds me of 1970s interior decor...not my thing. :-)<br /> I don't like it with green, but then maybe I don't have the right shade of green. </p> <p>Declawedjaguar: I've got one navy top that does, yes, go well -- why didn't I think of that? Thanks!</p> <p>LegacyOfPearl: I tried a bright pink top with it, and you know what, I think you're right. It does go. </p> <p>modgrl: you're right, too. The saturated pink, plus the dark navy, brown and black all go. Lighter colours don't, and I don't own any tops in pastel anyway.</p> <p>I still think it looks most sophisticated with black or navy. Mo, you're right, white would look sophisticated, too, but white tops, sadly, make me look like I've got the flu. I might try to find a cream one at some point -- that might be a good substitute.</p> <p>ETA: cjh -- my skirt is from a local Vancouver boutique called Smoking Lily. It's a narrow a-line with a box pleat in the front. Here's the link, but the picture doesn't do it justice (and I don't think it goes with the light gray top they've got it paired with!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.smokinglily.com/product/banff-skirt/" rel="nofollow">http://www.smokinglily.com/product/banff-skirt/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501736 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:39:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 501736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love camel with purple, white, red...it's a pretty versatile colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501733 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:35:17 +0000 Mo 501733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've paired it with white and really liked the result. <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/spinoff-of-raes-white-jean-thread-pairing-w-camel-and-cognac" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....and-cognac</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-goes-with-camel-besides-black#post-501730 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:30:10 +0000 cjh 501730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, lucky you!

I think it goes with dark brown, too, but that gives a sort of 70s vibe that I'm not crazy about. I'm aiming for a classic look, not all-over earth tones.</p> <p>Any ideas? </p>
