STYLE GURU STYLE: Faux Fabulous

March 15th, 2016 at 2:00am

After a quick trip to Europe in January full of fun, food and fashion, I became hyperaware of one very specific trend that seemed to be popping up everywhere. It is impossible to walk down the streets of London without seeing someone wearing faux fur.

Furs have been worn for many, many years; however, they have typically been reserved for special occasions. Today, faux fur coats are worn on a daily basis by many Fashionistas and have been appearing in various fashion shows including Alberta Ferretti’s pre-fall 2016 collection.

Drawing inspiration from this collection, I translate Alberta Ferretti’s looks from runway to everyday. The most important part, and the focal point, of this look is the black faux fur coat. I started with this huge statement piece, centering the rest of my outfit around this coat.

As spring isn’t quite here yet, I paired black, high-waisted jeans with a black long sleeve crop top with a floral print. The outfits in Alberta Ferretti’s collection are monochromatic and I chose to keep this trend but by going a shade darker to black instead of the browns of  the pre-fall 2016 show. I finish off the look by adding my favorite black leather booties that give me a bit of desperately needed height. A good pair of black booties are nice to invest in because they are so versatile and can be worn with any outfit.

Accessory-wise I am wearing a large statement collar necklace, simple earrings and stone midi-rings. The models in the collection wear simple, natural makeup but because of how dark my outfit is I decided to add some color by wearing blue eyeliner and dark purple lipstick.

Get My Look: 1. Faux fur coat. 2. Black high-waisted jeans. 3. Black booties.
