When I was little, one of my favorite things to do when visiting my grandmother was play dress up in her clothes. Of all of my grandmother’s old clothing, my dress up go-to was her mink coat. I would imagine myself owning my very own one day. However, it is not something that I could even dream of affording in my current college life. The solution? It’s faux fur. It is the perfect resolution for the animal rights activist or those who can’t afford to spend an arm and a leg on a real mink. One of the simplest ways to spice up a look while adding a sense of sophistication is by wearing a faux fur. This is not to hate on those who love real fur, as shown in this Fashionista’s look.
This look features a fur vest. Vests are a big trend at the moment, whether it be fur, leather or jean. Whether your style is preppy, bohemian or ’90s grunge, a fur vest is always an applicable choice. It’s the cherry on top of the outfit. A vest is always a good option because it presents versatility. It’s a great layering choice and adds a sense of completion to an outfit.
This Fashionista chose to go with a classic fur-on-black look. The chic jean shirt with the iconic black pants presents the perfect blank canvas to style the outfit. By choosing to top off her look with a fur vest, this Fashionista added a striking sense of style, creating the perfect combination of causal and chic.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I usually go for comfort with a look, and pairing basics with the fur vest allows me to be comfortable while at the same time chic.”
