The ’70s are back and they come with faux fur. Anyone monitoring the recent runway shows can attest that the latest fashion trend is a major throwback. This Fashionista could not have picked a better time to pull out a fur coat. As usual, all I can think about is the cold weather and what is practical to wear in the midst of harsh conditions outside. It is especially important considering this Fashionista was rocking her coat in negative degree temperatures. It does not just look great but is also providing much needed warmth!
Entirely faux fur coats are not something often seen at SUNY Geneseo, so this Fashionista stood apart from the crowd and looked great while doing it. A fur jacket has the power to dress up any outfit and since they are such a timeless piece, they automatically add class to any outfit. There are styles of faux fur coats for everyone including ombré, two-toned and a more traditional brown. The rest of this Fashionista’s outfit is equally chic. She pairs her fur coat with white scarf, a dark floral floor-length dress, heeled ankle boots and a black tote. The overall look is sophisticated and striking.
Faux fur is stylish without the horrible history of real fur coats. When looking for your own faux fur coat, be wary of used and vintage clothing stores, as there is a good chance that those coats are real fur. If you are fine with that, then do your thing, but for others I recommend diligent vintage shopping.
How To: Ready to take part in the ’70s trend? Find yourself the fur coat that speaks to you and wear it with confidence. This standout piece is versatile enough to work with everything else in your wardrobe. Just have fun with it!
