Fabulous Faux Fur


It’s getting cold out there, and what better way to wrap up against the recent chill than with some ultra-glam faux fur.

Not so long ago fake fur was a total fashion no-go, and synthetic fluff was a sure fire way to look tacky.
But this season the only way to go is faux, with a stack of great fur pieces hitting the high street. You just need to team faux fur with the right outfit to pull of this glamazon look.

Faux fur is the perfect cover-up for evening wear because there is no real need to match colours or even hem lengths which can be such a pain when trying to find a coat to wear with a dress. This luxe brown faux jacketfrom Next will look perfect over your party season cocktail dress, your pencil skirt for the office or as the perfect way to keep cosy at a winter wedding. Keep the rest of the look simple to allow this statement piece to shine.

Feel like channelling some 70’s chic? Then this gilet from Biba is for you. Wear with black jeans, a silk blouse and some killer heels for a fabulous day-to-night look. And for this chillier days when your arms might need a little more coverage- team this sleeveless beauty with your favourite leather jacket. 

My favourite faux fur find so far has got to be this gorgeous cropped jacket from Marks and Spencer. The monochrome shades mean it will go with virtually anything and is extremely easy to wear. It’s on my shopping list as a fabulous way to bring my jeans and t-shirt style uniform right up to date but could as easily be thrown over a knitted mini dress with some knee high boots and opaque tights.

Faux fur is so fabulous..bring on the chill!!
