My Dream Camel Coat and 14 Less-Expensive Ones I'd Buy in the Meantime

Something about me: I love a good camel coat. But who doesn't? It's truly the perfect winter clothing item. Goes with everything, can be dressed up or down, is timeless, looks expensive—these are a few of the many qualities this universal wardrobe staple possesses. Given the appeal, it's no wonder there's a slew of camel coat options from brands at every price point on the market. But one, in particular, is so perfect that it crosses my mind about once a day: the Annecy Oversized Wool and Cashmere-Blend Coat by popular Swedish brand Totême (which is beloved by fashion people and celebrities around the world). 

Totême excels at luxe, minimal pieces that also make a statement (thanks to features like ruching and dramatically puffed sleeves). Two years ago, the brand released a camel cashmere-and-wool wrap coat—the Annecy Coat, which has become a permanent fixture in its collection, likely because of its popularity (it has been restocked repeatedly). The coat features a perfectly oversize fit, draped collar, and side slits, and is the perfect weight for layering or just wearing with a T-shirt on more mild days. Not only that, celebrity fans of the coat include the very stylish Jennifer Lawrence and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. 

Which brings me to the only thing stopping me from buying the beautiful Totême coat immediately: the $1100 price tag. It's certainly something to aspire to, but in the meantime, I scoured the internet for the best less-expensive camel coats. Whether you invest in the Totême one or go for one of the other more budget-friendly ones, you won't be disappointed.

Keep scrolling to shop my camel coats and to see Lawrence and Huntington-Whiteley (and other stylish women of Instagram) with my dream Totême one.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
