A Fur-stastic Winter Outing

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. :) 
 As a layering piece and a statement piece, a fur vest is a great way to stay warm during these chilly months. With its luxurious texture, it can add interest to any outfit. My frequent pairing is to layer it over an all-black ensemble of black/leather pants and a black turtleneck and balanced the black-on-black outfit with gold jewelries. The monochrome palette let the soft texture of the vest take center stage, while keeping the outfit sophisticated and understated. Since today’s weather isn’t unbearably cold, I went with a lightweight fabric instead, which keeps the look more sleek and streamlined. To complete the look, I went with my ideal bottom pairings and that has to be a pair of jeggings or skinny jeans because it helps offset the chunkiness of the fur. For casual sophistication, i wore my favorite riding boots over the dark jeggings.








Mentioning about faux fur now only makes me yearn for dark colors like black. However, if you are thinking about an investment piece, I recommend timeless neutral like tan or brown variation so you can use it for casual wear to glam up your everyday outfits. Also, make sure the fur is soft and not coarse, as this can look very cheap. 







Thank you so much for reading! I hope you like this outfit!!! As always, I look forward to hear from you!!! Have a great day!!!

  8. Very classy and yet casual look.
    I love fur vests as well, used them quite often this winter and although in the calendar it's already spring but it still so cold that I want to wear mine again.
