The Elegant Color That Stylish People in Copenhagen and London Are Wearing With Red
At Who What Wear, we often talk about single-color trends. However, discussing trending color combinations can be more important, as they can simplify the styling process, helping fashion people make quicker decisions when getting dressed. So rather than sharing specific colors we're seeing a lot of this fall, I'm highlighting a striking pairing that has gained remarkable traction: the combination of red and camel.
So who's been wearing it? For starters, Victoria Beckham. The fashion designer and icon was seen heading to her store on Dover Street in London over the weekend wearing camel trousers and a red three-quarter-sleeve sweater. She kept her look simple by styling it with black oversize sunglasses and a mini burgundy bag, proving that this color combination can be paired with one of fall's hottest hues.
Beyond Beckham, fashion people from New York to Northern Europe have taken to Instagram to show off their camel and red outfits. For example, Who What Wear's assistant shopping editor Ana Escalante was seen in a camel trench coat paired with a red crewneck sweater and black wide-leg pants. Norwegian content creator Annabel Rosendahl also wore a relaxed yet chic red-and-camel look that consisted of an oversize sweater, tailored pants, mesh flats, and a suede handbag.
Off the streets, we've noticed the red-and-camel combination on the runways. For example, at the fall 2024 shows, designers like Carven and Marie Adam-Leenaerdt sent models down the runway in red tops with baggy camel trousers or Bermuda shorts. Additionally, this color pairing appeared at designers like Ami Paris during the spring 2025 shows, suggesting that the trend will continue through the winter and extend into 2025.
This color combination stands out as being surprisingly versatile compared to some of the more challenging pairings of the past. This means you can't go wrong with embracing a bold monochromatic look with carefully selected accessories or alternating colors in a layered ensemble.
If you want to effortlessly achieve a chic fall look like Beckham and other style muses and embrace this color combination, read on.
