The future is bright in staples reinvigorated with a whole new mood and outlook

Here’s a cool edit of essentials updated for today’s trends, yet cleverly devised to see you through the years ahead. Alongside some of your favourite black dresses and grey sweaters, Harper’s BAZAAR lists the four classics: The camel coat, a great pair of jeans, a soft leather jacket and a pair of check trousers. They will add visual breadth and depth to your everyday wardrobe. It’s time to hit the refresh button.

DESERT ROSE

Straddling the colour spectrum between sand and brown, camel continues to up its lust factor with sharp tailoring and luxe fabrication. The season’s myriad of prints add optical difference to this plush hue.
