It's a classic for a reason.
With the crisp air and turning leaves, comes the time to dust off our fall wardrobe—full of layers, cozy scarves, and trusty grab-and-go coats. Olivia Wilde already got the memo. On September 20, the actress was spotted in New York City wearing a classic fall off-duty outfit: a black T-shirt and matching wide-leg trousers, paired with a double-breasted camel coat.
When it comes to casual fall outfits, few pairings come as close to perfect as this one. The classic black-and-camel combination has long been a staple of fall styling. It may not be innovative, but it is a trusty one. And its main protagonist is certainly the camel coat, a seasonal investment piece that is guaranteed to carry you through years (if not decades!) to come.

Going for a double-breasted long version gives you an edge, though. For evidence, just look at Wilde’s outfit. While she’s wearing a relaxed fit from head to toe, the double-breasted silhouette adds structure to an otherwise laid-back outfit, offering versatility with a quick switch-up of accessories. Trade the comfy sneakers for a pair of pumps to go to work, or add your favorite leopard print Mary Jane flats—one of fall’s top trends—for a weekend look.
