Yay or Nay?: Fur Skirt (page 5)

Yay or Nay?: Fur Skirt

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday August 22, 2011

Last winter and fall, the fur was flying. We saw fur coats, fur shawls and fur scarves. Even faux fox tail key chains for your purses! What about a fur skirt though? Miu Miu (middle) sent a fur skirt down the runway last fall 2010, Tracy Reese (right) had one in her collection for fall 2011, Micheal Kors (left) designed a fur skirt in fall 2010. It works on models on the runway- but could it ever work in reality?

While I love the feel and look of fur and the warmth it provides in winter, I’m not sure that I could pull this look off. I mean, what would you even pair with it? Here are three options that I think could possibly work:

1. Top Shop Battered Sequin Sleeve Tee (C$59.00)
2. Gap Raw-Edge Henley Shirt (C$64.95)
3. 3.1 Phillip Lim Black Chiffon Long Sleeve Melange T-Shirt (US$495.00)

Let me know what you think though- is the skirt wearable? What would you wear it with? Or would you completely pass on it? Leave a comment below- is it a yay or nay for the fur skirt?

Paring it with the black chiffon long sleeve shirt, would be really cute. Add some leather boots and silver jewellery (a long chunky necklace with matching bracelet).
