A little wile ago, a couple of readers of SM asked me to write about staying warm in the winter, so I went on the hunt for some of the most practical, fun and interesting runway pieces, perfect to be taken off the runway and on to your body to keep you warm, and the best way (that I found and thought of) to do it is fur (faux or not). Why? Because it really is something that will guaranty to make you feel warm and make you look good!

On the runway:
Fur, whether real or fake, is pretty much a staple in the fall/winter runways and a common sight on all of the Fashionistas on the street, what changes from season to season is the way designers choose to work with it. For this season fur steps away from just having entire coats made out of it, to becoming a complement to other fabrics as done by Roland Mouret, Jason Wu, BCBG Max Azria and others, who combined fur with wool, leather, and even cotton and plied touches and hints of it to different pieces. Aside from that, fur has also moved away from being a shoulder and upper body coverage piece, to become part of the rest of the body, as Mulberry and Rodarte did it. It is now used on dresses and skirts, and that means there are endless options to wear it and keep your body warm.
Take it to your wardrobe:
It is simple, you do not need to worry about how to make it happen, since fur accents look great on everyone and with almost everything.
1: The full effect: The easiest way to do it is to buy a coat, a vest or a short jacket, pair with a great maxi skirt or a simple maxi dress and you are good to go.
2: The accents: The second way, and this one is for those who feel like an entire piece made out of fur is too much, just go for the modern way of doing it and get pieces with just an accent of it. A jacket with a fur hood, on the neckline of capes, or on the sleeves, and even just on patches placed on random places of each piece!
3. The accessories: The third way and probably the most discrete yet useful way to stay warm with a bit of fluff, is by using fury accessories. A great fur scarf, playful earmuffs, and even the ever so fun-to-wear Cossack hats are always a way to go for winter. Furry boots and hand bags aren't out of the question either!
So stay warm and fluffy in style for the winter, you choose how to bring the fur into your wardrobe!
xo and style your life modest!
