Not a fan of faux fur? Too bad for you, it’s still the queen this winter… But don’t worry, it’s like the summer hits: you end up loving it.

A few tips for taking the plunge and adopt faux fur to be chic and trendy!

Faux fur: why do we love it?

From a fashion-addict point of view, we love faux fur because it’s super trendy this seasonand that it allows you to dress up any outfit in the snap of your fingers.

Do you find yourself a little too sporty with your sweatshirt and sneakers for your Sunday brunch? Faux fur is the solution!

Then, we also like faux fur becauseit’s literally about carrying a security blanket on you : it’s soft, it’s warm, it’s fluffy, that’s all you want for the winter.

Finally, we love faux fur because it’s an ethical and green alternative to real fur. No guilt in offering you a faux fox coat, no animal was skinned to make it, and it feels good to know that.

What fake fur pieces and what cuts to be trendy?

What to choose to be trendy and avoid the granny look in church (ultimate fake fur trap)? We give you some basic rules to be trendy in faux fur.

The long faux fur coat

A big yes for the long faux fur coat with its little 70s look, provided you avoid materials that are too bulky, and you are tall enough to afford it. We advise you a knee length, and a very simple straight cutat the risk of sounding like Cruella de Vil.

Short faux fur coat

We also like faux fur in a short version. More sportswear than the long one, it will be easier to wear every day. You can be tempted by a jacket cut if you like, it is very trendy this season.

The faux fur sleeveless vest

Why not, but it’s not clearly not a flagship piece of the season. But rest assured, it’s not (yet) a fashion faux pas.

What color should you choose for your faux fur?

For a classic-chic look, opt for basic colors : black, camel, fawn, grey… It’s pretty and it goes with everything.

To twist your outfits, embrace this season’s colorful trend : pink, red, forest green, blue, orange… We love it but it’s harder to match.

Are we allowed to have patterns on fake fur?

We can, but it’s risky. If you want to try it, choose an animal print faux fur (preferably leopard).
