How to wear a camel v-neck sweater

I never wear camel, because it's wicked unflattering on me, but I love the look of it...

At it's simplest, the sweater with jeans or twill pants. A scarf, and some pretty earrings, and you're good to go. Note that the shades of camel don't have to match exactly.

A long line of camel and brown, with a simple white or cream shirt, is the easiest outfit in the world.  Simple gold jewelry is all you need; a watch might be enough!

With white jeans (or cream/ecru) you have the opportunity to break out your favorite summer tee shirts before the weather's actually "tee shirt warm".  This is also a chance to sneak your favorite ballet flats back into circulation, to pull the whole outfit together.

With a camel skirt or pants, you have a perfect basis for almost any blouse...

The simplicity of the sweater is a perfect balance for pants that have some... busy-ness... about them. As always, accessories are what makes it look like an ensemble, and not just a random collection of garments.

And a very "out there" jacquard or metallic skirt is calmed down with the sober, but still elegant, note that the sweater lends to the outfit.  And it makes a great background for jewelry...

Please note that some of the garments and accessories that I showed with the black v-neck sweater on  Monday are making a reappearance today with camel.  This is NOT laziness on my part (some readers accuse me of the most amazing things...); I do this deliberately to show how versatile some pieces of clothing, and some accessories, can be in your wardrobe.  Every piece I show is carefully chosen to look beautiful, and to help you visualize how this might work with your own wardrobe...
