There is absolutely no stopping faux fur this year. Between coats, boots and vests, faux fur has been on everyone’s radar. Its stylish and cozy appearance has everyone running to the store or clicking it into their carts, but have you already joined in on this trend? If you haven’t, it might be a good time to start.
I love how fur is making a comeback. Not real fur, of course, but faux. Fur reminds me of the old movies I watched with my mom and seeing fur on people these days reminds me of Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn. These classy women showcased some of their best moments wearing fur and now, people have readopted it today. However, women are styling it in completely new ways. Make it edgy, keep it at ease or stay classic with one of this seasons must-have staples. Fur has been seen on this season’s runways, the hottest celebrities and now you, U of I students.
Looking at this Fashionista, you can tell why faux fur is coming back into fashion. Although people usually style a fur vest with a more basic undershirt, this Fashionista sports a button-down flannel that keeps the bold vest in check. She pairs her vest and flannel combo with black leggings and black riding boots to keep the bottom half of her outfit minimal. Accessorizing with just Alex and Ani bracelets and a knit headband, she keeps the rest of her outfit simple but stylish.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I like to be comfortable and being warm is a big one for me. I think it’s also cool to mix feminine elements like the fake fur vest with more masculine elements like my flannel.”
