Lay On the Luxe: How to Wear Fall Furs, Metallics & More!
This fall, luxe is in, and that means furs, leathers, and metallics — but more often than not, these rich fabrics make us look overdone and even gaudy (yikes!). As we transition from summer to winter, we want to look our best, so here are five ways to wear some of this fall’s most luxurious fabrics, without looking like you’re playing dress-up!
Fur
What’s luxury without fur? Try a multi-colored, hip-length faux fur coat without a lot of fluff, which can make fur look more excessive than it already is. Though we love getting dressed up, being that girl on campus is not always the best idea — but wearing too flat of a fur can make the coat look cheap. Find a balance with leopard and mink furs — the patterned, dark and textured prints are less poufy than other furs but definitely don’t lack body, and their numerous shades of browns and blacks easily complement any wardrobe.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley combines luxe attire (leather and fur!) and makes it work by keeping the colors basic with black and brown. Fur itself commands attention, so no need to dress it up even more!

Thanks Krista!! I miss the whole HC team!!
Awesome article, Alice! I have been super scared to try faux fur, but this has definitely inspired me to give it a try.
Thanks Michelle! Faux fur was HUGE in London when I went abroad last fall, and I fell in love with the look — I think anybody can pull it off so definitely give it a try!!
