A fur sweater can be a stylish alternative to an oversized sweater. Just bear in mind that a fur sweater is somewhat bulky that can make you look heavier than actually you are. For a safe bet, opt for darker shades like black, navy, and deep red instead of lighter shades like white, beige and cream.

When wearing a fur jacket, keep in mind that it makes a huge statement by itself so it’s not the proper occasion to wear everything else that is as extravagant as well, but being less extravagant is the way to go. Do not to wear other items that are too grandiose or overpowering like metallics, sequins, and neon colored garment. Like Vanessa, you may wear your fur jackets and coat with classic ensembles like a suit and pants outfit with sneakers to dress down the glamorous feel.

To bring some edgy punch to your style, wear leather trousers with your faux fur jackets. Since a fur coat or jacket makes a statement itself, opt for a genuine or faux leather trousers rather than a patent one. Patent leather trousers have a glossy finish that can only clash with the statement of your fur coats and the result would be overpowering.

You may also nail the jewel tones trend by wearing shades of emerald green, cobalt blue, amethyst purple, and ruby red that give some serious outfit appeal. Pastel shades like pink or yellow can also be a good alternative rather than the usual brown or black.
