Some tips
Before we look at our faux fur outfits, here are a few things to think about.
1. Combine with the deep brown trend
We recently wrote about brown as the new black – and this is a color trend that isn’t going anywhere, so it’s a great opportunity to combine two trends in one and choose a faux fur coat in deep brown.

2. Keep it streamlined
Fur adds texture, but it can also add bulk, so keep your look streamlined with longer faux fur coats, or by keeping the rest of your outfit sleek.

fur trim
If you don’t want to go the whole shebang when it comes to your faux fur, then adding a trim is a great way to give a nod to the trend. Choose a coat with a faux fur collar – look out for those that allow you to remove the collar or hood to create different looks. Or choose a top with fur cuffs that you can wear with jeans or wide-leg pants.

Fluffy bags are particularly on trend this season, and also look for faux fur hats, globes, and scarves. A faux fur wrap or cape is a stylish way to stay warm and cover your upper arms for the party season. A great way to put together faux fur outfits from your existing looks.
