As the cold weather overwhelms us, there is one thing we can look to as our savior: a furry jacket. Conveniently, it happens to be on trend too. Built for any body type, this is the perfect accessory to get us through the bitter winter.

Furry jackets have evolved in more than one way. In the past, fur coats represented wealth, and were often paired with a designer gown and lots of diamonds. These coats were unapproachable by commoners, but were greatly desired. Today, fur coats have taken new forms, using various synthetic materials, making it available to even the most frugal of shoppers. Additionally, fur jackets used to have little shape, and were very uniform to one another. Now, fur jackets have revolutionized in the way they are structured, and offer more flattering and exciting details. Quite often you can find fur coats with different colors and patterns such as leopard or spotted fur.

This fur coat was paired perfectly, with simple boots and jeans, and a pop of color in the shirt. It is always a good idea to purchase your fur coat in a neutral color, this way you can get the most wears out of it and pair it with any outfit you decide on for the day. A neutral fur coat could be either a light color or dark color. To switch things up a bit, a fur vest is also a great accessory.
