Some things are meant to go together - peanut butter and chocolate, pumpkin pie and whipped cream. The same can be said of this classic pairing: camel and denim. Just a glimpse of Crystal Renn showing off the color combo in Vogue Germany or Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke's effortlessly crafted street style (with trench in hand), and we fall even more in love with it. It exudes both timelessness - thanks to those rich camel tones - and cool - thanks to casual, easy denim pieces. We love both textures and fabrics on their own, but you have to admit, there's something special about them coming together.
