The Fur Craze

As most of you have seen, fur coats have made quite the comeback! Whether it be a loud pattern, like cheetah, or a fierce dark color, fur coats are back to claim their spot in the world of fashion.

It’s important when purchasing fur to make sure it is fake fur (also known as fun fur or faux fur). Fake fur is made up of synthetic fibers designed to resemble real fur. Many organizations, like Peta, release articles discussing why purchasing real fur is so harmful and morally unjust. You can usually tell if fur is fake by the labeling on the clothing item, and of course if the price is cheaper. So, if you’re looking to keep a clear conscience and not be attacked by animal rights activists then I suggest you stick with the fake kind!

Fur coats/vests are simple to wear with any outfit. They add an edge to any look and create a glamorous appeal to whomever’s attention your hoping to catch.

This creme & brown faux fur vest is extremely stylish and comfortable to wear! This vest was purchased at Marshalls. The brand of the vest is Ci Sono. This vest hits at the waist and creates a cozy feel with its high stand-up collar.

This faux fur jacket was purchased from TJ Maxx. The brand of the jacket is called Retro by mejane. This ivory color is beautiful to pair with any outfit.

I kept my outfit chic & casual with thigh high boots from Charlotte Russe, high-waisted jeans from Pac-Sun, a loose tank from Marshalls which has the saying “Fashion Addict”, and lastly my faux fur coat in dark grey from Forever 21. The bag is from Forever 21 and the necklace is from Charlotte Russe. This outfit was greatly enhanced just by adding this glamorous fur coat!

For some more fur coat inspirations, I highly recommend the tv series Scream Queens on Fox. All the female characters in this tv series are usually wearing amazing fur coats in just about every episode!
