Fur in fashion


Now we all love some fur but time to time we seem to get it wrong. I’ve seen too many people over do it with fur, they just up end looking like a hot mess. Just like any other fashion staple piece you only wear one item at a time. This is the rule that is easy to follow and adopt.
For me the hardest trend for anyone to pull off is the Fur. Too many times people end up looking like a fake wannabe diva or a drag queen. Why do they look like this? Because they overdo it with the fur.


There are three simple steps to follow to get this trend right on dot:

1.      Only ever wear one item of fur at a time. Either go with a fur jacket/coat, bag or boots. Never wear all three at the same time.

2.      Wear your fur item with block solid colours. This will help you play it safe and keep it classy. The best way is to pair it with a pair of black skinny jeans, killer heals, and grey / black tank top, embellished 
 small jacket and a tote fur bag, splendid!

3.      Now, even if you can afford it, try not to by real fur. Many animals are brutally killed and in the process are being extinct for their fur. You can get an exact copy of real fur item pieces and clothes from your high street. So please be thoughtful in your purchase.


Here is an example of how to put together an ensemble:






Here are some examples of faux fur items that you can purchase from the high street. Note, no animals were endangered or hurt in making these items:


You can purchase this item for the small fraction price of £39.00 from:









Remember that fashion is all about keeping it simple and not over doing it in one trend.
