FUR is the Word.

        One of the biggest trends you’ll see popping up this winter is fur. It’s timelessly chic appeal is always hot for this time of year. It seems that no matter how many times animal-activists try to convince us (loyal fashionistas that we are) that it’s not right to wear fur, it keeps coming back, and this time it’s hotter than ever. It’s graced the runways of Dolce & Gabanna, Emilio Pucci, Giambatista Valli, and countless others.




   The best, most subtle way to wear fur without looking too over-the-top-Cruela-De-Vil is by simply layering it (in the form of a fitted vest) over a long sleeved shirt playfully tucked into a flirty skirt topped off with your favorite pair of boots (another hot trend for fall & winter!). This look says sophisticated and classy without being gaudy.


Now a vest isn't the only form of wearable fur, although- in my opinion- it's the simplest and easiest to pull off. The vest can be simply layered over practically any style of outfit for an extra dose of warmth. Have fun with it :) & don't be scared to experiment with it.

  1. If only Marc Jacobs would design a new guinea pig-inspired line of fur-lined boots...
