Hot Trend: Faux Fur Outerwear

| Thursday December 30, 2010

Though genuine fur endures as a timeless trend, the ethics question prevents it from becoming a universal styling choice. With designers and retailers taking a renewed interest in faux materials (and doing a darn good job of it lately, wethinks!), faux fur jackets, capelets, and coats are bang on trend sans the controversy.

Here are a few styling options we like:

ASOS Vintage Faux Fur Coat US$103.44, American Rag Dolce Vita Faux Fur US$286

Juicy Couture Hooded Jacket C$252 (sale), Forever 21 US$41.80

Top Shop Faux Fur Jacket by Love** C$93, Zara Faux Fur Bolero C$29.20

Piperlime Tinley US$98, Le Chateau Luxe Faux Fur Coat C$189.95

Lucky Brand Jeans US$139.99 (sale), Topshop Cropped Faux Leopard Coat US$170

We want to know: Do you wear this trend? Or is the glamour lost in the fur-to-faux translation?

I ordered one very similar to the Piperlime Tinley coat from Dorothy Perkins (dorothyperkins.co.uk), and am now waiting to receive it!
