Faux fur is hot, hot, hot for winter
And, we’re not talking about how warm they’ll keep you! We’re loving that the faux fur outerwear trend is popping back up for winter fashions and we’re happily embracing this trend for our wardrobes. The perfect way to add some faux fur to your closet this year is with a faux fur coat or vest and we’ve hunted down our favorites.
How to wear faux fur coats and vests
The best part about faux fur coats and vests is that you can dress them up or dress them down, just by what you pair them with.
To dress up with faux fur styles — which are especially on-trend for the holidays — pair them with your favorite little black dress to hit up holiday parties, evenings at the Nutcracker and your office’s big seasonal bash. Just be prepared to use it as an outer-layer only… even faux fur gets warm when you’re in a crowd! Be sure to keep the rest of your outfit simple, as the faux fur coat or vest is truly your statement piece.
Dress a faux fur coat or vest down with lived-in jeans — try rolling them up at the bottom — and pair them with wedge ankle boots and an easy-going tee or a casual blouse. This look will take you everywhere this winter, from winter concerts at your kids’ schools to running Thanksgiving errands.
Feeling a little too plain jane, even with a punch of faux fur? Add a statement piece of jewelry or a hint of leopard print to offset a solid-colored faux fur coat or vest.
