Faux fur is one of those trends that you either love or hate and like everything in fashion, there is the good, the bad, and the hideous. If you are planning on taking a daring leap into the fur trend, please follow a few simple guidelines so that you don't look like a cast member from "Clan of the Cavebear".
1. Keep it simple. One item is all you need to make a statement. Check out how Rachel Zoe accessorizes her outfits with a classic piece.
2. Look for the best quality you can afford. If the price is cheap, then it will look like a bald, dead animal at the end of the season after all the fur has fallen off.
3. Avoid slutty fur. Yes, you read that correctly. No slutty fur. This goes hand in hand with #1 about keeping it simple. No surprise here that Snooki and Paris took a wrong turn with this trend.
4. This is a fun trend, so please do not harm any small animals while trying to look good. Keep the folks at PETA happy and find a piece that is synthetic. Besides, these celebrities look ridiculous in my opinion.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces that are currently out in stores and online.
Vest - $148
Leopard Jacket - $79
Piperlime.com
Faux Fur Jacket - $79
Leather and Fur - $128
Fur Trim Winter Coat - $110
Zip front faux fur vest - $147
If you are still not convinced, here are a few outfits you can make with one vest.
Outfit #1 - Mix it with your favorite print.
Outfit #2 - Dress it down with jeans and a turtleneck.
Outfit # 3 - Pull it on over a dress.
As always, have fun with clothes and use trendy pieces to spice up your wardrobe. If you're not into this particular look - that is okay too. There is plenty more to come!
Happy Shopping!
