FAUX FUR VEST
During transitional and cooler months, layering pieces are key, and one simple way to add texture and interest to your outfit is to wear a faux-fur vest. Faux fur is affordable, ethical and stylish, and designers offer many elegant options in a range of styles and color palettes.
Top a long-sleeved shirt or turtleneck with a faux-fur vest, such as a soft and shaggy one from Via Spiga or BB DAKOTA, and pair these elements with jeans or leather pants for a look that's comfortable and casual and can transition easily from day to night. Complete your look with boots, from on-trend knee-high versions to ever-chic booties. Faux-fur vests, such as a lightweight one from cupcakes and cashmere, also layer well over dresses of many styles. For a classic low-key look, pair the vest with a simple long-sleeve knee-length black dress and opaque tights. And don't rule out sweater dresses, maxi dresses or playful lace and patterned dresses as base options beneath your faux-fur vest.
Women's faux-fur vests come in a range of neutral tones that resemble real fur, including black, brown, cream and white. A draped faux-shearling vest, such one from BLANKNYC or Karen Kane, is flattering for most figures, as are shaggier versions that hang straight. For the ultimate in warmth, consider investing in women's shearling coats. Other cozy options include women's wool coats. However, you can easily make a faux-fur vest work even if you live in a colder climate; just add additional layers, such as a cocoon-shaped coat.
