Since Achille Maramotti, the founding father of the Max Mara fashion house, introduced his first beige coat in 1951, the camel coat has not gone out of style. The secret of his success is practicality multiplied by elegance.
A beige coat is a universal option that will suit both a blonde and a brunette, a red-haired fashionista, and a burning brown-haired woman - the main thing is to choose “your” shade. In addition, beige is one of the basic colors, so the number of outfit options that can be created with a beige coat, changing the details of the image, is almost endless.
So, let's see what a beige coat goes best with, and how the regular heroines of street style chronicles wear it.
What colors does beige go with?
With brown
Beige is not an independent color, but a shade of light brown with a grayish-yellow undertone. And since related colors and shades always coexist perfectly in one ensemble, a duet of beige with any other shades of brown and yellow will always be harmonious and self-sufficient. This look will be filled with warmth and comfort, giving a feeling of coziness and tranquility. In principle, you don’t even have to use color accents, enjoying the relaxation of such a look and playing with combinations of textures.
With white
Don't be afraid to combine two basic shades in one look. Beige and white together look incredibly stylish! It doesn’t matter whether your coat is light beige or dark beige.
With black
Another win-win combination. A little black dress, black jeans or a business suit - everything will look just perfect with a beige coat.
With denim
Blue and light blue denim do not at all contradict the impeccable elegance of a beige coat - these colors allow it to show itself in all its glory in a casual style. Look at the photo - how interesting the combination of a beige coat and jeans looks!
Leopard print
No print looks as cool with a beige coat as leopard! Of course, you need to add it very carefully and strictly in doses: in the form of shoes, a scarf or a handbag.
Such a different beige
The beige coat is practical, versatile, sophisticated and elegant. It will not let you down either in the off-season period or on frosty winter days. The beige color is similar to camel hair - such tones easily harmonize with different colors of clothing. Therefore, for true fashionistas who love to create stylish looks, there is no end of ideas and options here.
A pastel-colored coat can be plain or combined. Let's look at a few successful shades of beige.
- Coffee with milk. Created for business style and for those who do not suit warm colors. The shade is universal and noble.
- Caramel. Applicable for all occasions - it can appear business, casual, or elegant. You can experiment with this shade by combining a light top with a bright bottom.
- Sand. It can easily be included in a basic wardrobe, and a coat of this shade is worth purchasing for those who cannot decide on the choice of color. The option is a win-win.
- Beige check. It does not look as flashy and defiant as blue, red or yellow. This print will be appreciated by those who prefer calm classics with elements of elegance.
- Beige-brown. A warm shade that harmonizes with jeans, leopard sweaters, blouses, and T-shirts.
- Beige pink. A very feminine option that gives the image freshness and elegance. The best combination would be clothes, shoes, a hat in cold colors (gray, purple, blue).
- Beige-gray. Looks like an attribute of business style. In terms of elegance, it is not inferior to pure gray. It is better to wear trousers, a dress, a skirt or a sweater in warm colors under it. But the shoes or bag should be dark.
What to wear with a long beige coat
There is practically no exception here! On city streets, fashionistas demonstrate almost all combinations of beige coats in midi and maxi length:
- with dresses and skirts of any length;
- with skinny trousers, leather leggings and skinny jeans;
- with culottes;
- with wide trousers of all styles.
What to wear with a beige robe coat
A wrap-around coat is always very feminine and sophisticated. That is why a beige coat-robe is recommended to be worn with dresses and skirts, which are delicately hidden under the coat, giving the opportunity to demonstrate stylish and fashionable shoes.
In this case, the looks turn out soft and delicate, especially if you wear shoes or boots in nude or brown tones.
A robe coat is also suitable for creating a perky youth look. In this case, pair your look with skinny trousers or jeans.
The model matters
The first thing you should start from when creating a stylish look is the model of outerwear. She is the one who will tell you which headdress is considered the ideal option.
Coat-jacket
This model harmonizes perfectly with a contrasting, tight-fitting hat in a classic style. A clear sporty mood or a huge pom-pom are unlikely to look good.
Long
Fashionistas' love for long coats cannot be overcome by any fleeting trends. This model leads in terms of popularity from season to season. For a stylish and charming look, you can choose a laconic hat in a neutral shade.
Cocoon
Long sports hats without a lapel or with one go well with this style. You can also choose a knitted scarf-hood or a fashionable “dwarven” chunky knitted hat.
Direct
A classic straight coat with a stand-up collar or its English variation is not only stylish, but also incredibly versatile. You can safely choose such outerwear as a base, which with amazing ease adapts to any mood of the look.
A casual look with sneakers or boots will include a sports hat with a lapel.
Quilted
It's very easy to create a stylish look with a quilted coat - to do this, you should wear it with a minimalist hat in a bright color. For example, you can revive a familiar bow with the help of a juicy beanie.
Hooded
Outerwear with a hood can eliminate the need to wear a hat altogether. But if you still need this accessory, it is better to choose a plain, minimalist model without large knitting.
Oversized
Modern fashion is in no hurry to say goodbye to the oversized style, and it again occupies a leading position in the list of trends.
Stylists recommend combining a voluminous coat without a hood with sports hats made of thick knitwear or wool. Gray or graphite models are often the best choice. The beanie model is always a win-win style option.
Robe
The coat-robe has deservedly won the love of fashionistas due to its elegance and elegance. Stylists suggest that a headdress chosen for such a style should not contradict its main qualities. Turbans and berets are considered winning options.
If you don't mind eclectic styles, feel free to choose a chunky knitted hat. Both bright and neutral headwear will look stylish.
Scarf for a beige coat
A spring beige coat “loves” scarves no less than a winter one. The most popular options are gray and checkered scarves. Moreover, you can choose any check: a classic one a la Burberry - to create more restrained looks, and with a bright tartan check - to “revitalize” the image.
The scarf can be knitted (including snood) or knitted - of any length and volume. If desired, you can even wrap a stole around your neck!
Tips from stylists
But that's all! It turns out that it is not enough to know about successful combinations of coat style and hat model, as well as about successful color combinations. There are a few more secrets that will help you create a stylish look.
- Recently, outerwear with extravagant silhouettes or coats with active prints have been in great demand among fashionistas. Stylists agree that the headdress, in addition to this image, should be made in monochrome colors and a laconic silhouette. Even complex knitted patterns can look comical.
- The proportions of the headdress must correspond to the woman’s parameters. Thus, wide-brimmed and oversized hats are contraindicated for petite beauties.
- Many girls don’t think twice about it and choose a hat that matches their hair color. But stylists are unanimous that this is not the best solution. It is wiser to choose a color that emphasizes the lady’s individuality and matches her color type.
- A scarf is another indispensable outfit accessory in the cold season. Do not forget that it should be in harmony in color with the headdress.

What shoes to wear with a beige coat
Fashion bloggers and heroines of street style chronicles wear a beige coat even with sandals! But in our climate, hardly anyone is ready for such “feats”, so choose according to the weather and depending on the style of the image:
- white sneakers or sneakers;
- pumps (nude stiletto heels are especially good!);
- high heeled boots;
- ankle boots with a stable heel;
- low-top boots and men's style shoes.
As for the color of shoes, neutral shades (white, black, beige, cinnamon, sand, nude, etc.), as well as leopard print, look best with a beige coat.
A little about accessories
Remember that sunglasses with beige, black or horn frames will undoubtedly help you complete your look. A brown belt will help highlight your waist. Leather gloves in black or scarlet will protect you from the cold and decorate your hands. Well, you can’t go anywhere without a fashionable handbag (read about trends in handbags in the TRENDS section).
