FASHION FROM ABROAD: Faux Fur and Over-The-Knee Boots

While I was studying abroad in Europe, I noticed that it is filled with so much fashion. Every city I visited, I saw so many different styles and fashion statements. I did notice that a lot of people in Europe love their classic neutral clothing. However, I also saw fur almost everywhere I went. Fur vests are probably the most popular form of fur that I’ve seen but I also saw fur hats, coats, purses, and jackets. Fur is a very popular trend this season. It is a perfect wardrobe staple and can spice up any outfit. You can easily throw on a fur vest over a simple black T-shirt and instantly become more fashionable. Another thing that I noticed when I was in Italy is that Italians always like to look very put together. It is very rare to see an Italian walking around in sweatpants or a basic T-shirt. This Fashionista looks very put together with her fur vest and over-the-knee boots.

While in Florence, Italy, I saw this Fashionista rocking a fur vest over top of a printed dress. The vest not only added warmth but more detail to the outfit. She added in some neutral colors with her over-the-knee boots and black tights. One of my favorite A/W trends this year is over-the-knee boots. I see them almost everywhere I go, in a variety of colors and styles. I love the pair that she is wearing because they have added detail with the tie on the back. These boots are very versatile; they can be worn with a fun dress or with a simple pair of jeans. My favorite part of over-the-knee boots is that they keep you warm in colder weather while still staying super stylish. This Fashionista finished her look with a long silver necklace.
