The Do’s and Don’ts Of Wearing Faux Fur!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Birmingham chapter.

DO – Experiment with colours. High streets are stocking a lot of purple and yellow faux fur this season, an easy way to add an autumn feel to any outfit.

DO – Add fur with accessories. A simple faux fur segment on a clutch bag, or fur cuffed gloves, to a cosy fur snood. There are various ways to add faux fur to any look.

DO – Maximise your use of faux fur…allow yourself to wear fur day and night! Getting a statement piece will last you several different occasions and carry on to please for winters to come!

DON’T – Go to OTT. One item of fur is enough to make a fashion statement. Too matchy-matchy with a hat and scarf takes the look from chic to cheap.

DON’T – Get the real stuff! Faux fur is the only acceptable fur to wear!

DON’T – Scrimp on the price unless the quality is really good! Faux fur is featured in low and more upmarket high street stores. With faux fur, price shows.
