I've never been a big fan of frigid Winter weather nor slippery roads but one thing I appreciate about Winter is the opportunity to layer, and especially to wear coats. A good coat can turn the simplest outfit into a statement look and that is exactly what faux fur coats deliver. Those coats have been around for a long time so it's safe to say they're a classic fashion piece that keeps resurfacing every Fall and Winter. This year, faux fur coats are going strong and I have completely embraced the vibe. They are true multi-taskers that not only provide comfy insulation from the cold, but also give rich, fluffy texture and a glamorous aura. I recently purchased a long faux fur coat and didn't waste any time getting into it. Here are some ways I've style it:
Preppy Chic Faux Fur Outfit
Faux fur is very versatile and can be worn with most styles, whether it's street-inspired, casual, or preppy. I was going for something more elevated but not too uptight so I paired wide-leg leather pants with an oversized button-down shirt and a textured sweater vest. I added a belt and pointy-toe boots for a dressy touch. This is a preppy outfit that is ideal for corporate environment or more decorous settings. I went for a chocolate brown palette because I love it and it's the hue of the moment! Plus I think chocolate brown and a neutral, natural fur coat make a perfect tonal combination. For a luxe spin, go for gold accessories such as a bag, sunglasses and earrings.
Elevated Casual Outfit with a Faux Fur Coat
A piece that's always going to work for an elevated casual outfit is a pair of jeans. And the darker the wash, the more elevated the look. I opted for black wash wide-leg jeans that I paired with a black turtleneck bodysuit and dressy black boots. For a chic touch and to dial up the wildlife theme, I added my leopard silk scarf (which I also talk about in this post). And finally to stay cozy and fluff it up a little, I added my fur coat. Another combination that work super well: black and neutral-toned fur.
