Faux Fur
Fashion Forward or Faux Pas?
Fur has been a statement and a staple for years, what keeps this fun fleece trendy?
Fall Functionality
Fall is in full swing, and cold weather will soon follow. Prepare your autumn wardrobe for style and functionality, and invest in a fur coat. Genuine or faux – they are both fabulous, but color, quality, and price point are all things to consider. According to Vogue’s style guide, layering is an effective way to wear fur throughout the fall season. For a sleek look for cool weather, layer with a solid turtleneck or tee to draw attention to your coat. As the temperature drops and fall comes to a close, knit sweaters, gloves or scarves would work well with fur coats for a seamless transition into the winter months. Fur allows endless possibilities for personalization and sustainability while keeping you stylish and warm for the changing seasons and upcoming holidays. These fashionable coats offer the versatility of dressing up a casual daytime ensemble or complementing a chic evening look. Try pairing boots or layers that draw out the different colors in your coat, to make a fall outfit more cohesive. Bold jewelry and complementary fur accessories can additionally elevate your look in a sophisticated city or a night out.
Always in Trend
Fur coats have been timeless staples in fashion throughout history, but what keeps these cozy jackets circling back to the runway and on chic city streets? Marc Kaufman Furs, a fur coat boutique in New York City, explains the history behind this statement piece. They grew in popularity in the early 20th century, and became a widespread symbol of femininity, elegance, and wealth – leaving a fashionable legacy that exists today. Fast forward to the 2010s, fur coats served as a statement piece while varying in style, length, and color. Cropped and full-length furs, trendy colors like blush and teal, and more affordable options brought fur coats back in the fashionable light. Bright-colored faux pieces worn by celebrities like Gigi and Bella Hadid revamped the image of the classy and elegant furs, making them appealing to younger-
generations. Today, there are even more options for faux fur through various brands, in store and online. Vogue has a variety of price points and options at this link, along with outfit inspiration and a guide to what is on trend this year. https://www.vogue.com/article/faux-fur-coat-outfits
