The fall runways were sprinkled with pieces of fur this season, making it a ‘must have’ on your winter wardrobe wish list. With the weather in England constantly changing, fur pieces can be a complete saviour. If it’s not too cold, fur gilets allow for a simple, fashionable look, allowing your body to keep warm in the process. Yet if it’s cold, a large fur coat or a fur snood can be perfect for wrapping up in the winter weather. The versatility of fur makes it easy to create a stylish look this season, whether you add a fur gilet/coat to jeans, a maxi dress, leggins or a skirt and blouse, it can change your look in seconds. Celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, Kim Kardashian and Kate Moss have been seen out in fur gilets, snoods and coats, keeping warm this season. Consequently, although it does seem unlikely, you can go wrong with fur and too much of it can be seen as a problem. To pull the look off to perfection, it is best to wear one piece of fur at a time, teaming it with simple pieces such as jeans, boots and a plain tee with a fur gilet/coat.  Faux fur accessories are also on trend, you can purchase snoods, hats, ear muffs and gloves in many high street stores for under £20. Unfortunately, although most is faux fur, the bigger pieces such as jackets, gilets and cardigans can be slightly pricey, however no pain no gain! You might need to break the bank slightly for some statement pieces but it’s worth it!
