Winter Fashion: Fur Vests

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

 

Have you ever wanted to spice things up and throw something different on over the sweater you feel you wear too much because it is just so comfortable? Throw on a fur vest! I know, I know, fur? I never really thought I would like it either until I tried my first one on, and then, I feel in love. They can give a plain white shirt a bit of texture and will also keep you warm. They come in multiple colors so you will never have to settle with just one. A great thing to do is to match the color of the fur vest with the color of your favorite boots. This ties in the whole outfit when you wear it together and allows your outfit to look mature and polished. And just because you see celebrities wearing these fur vests most of the time in magazines does not mean they are all expensive and unaffordable. Here are some tips to consider when buying a fur vest. 

 

 

Try it on, this allows you to feel the comfort of the vest, how soft it is and if it would match well with the clothing you already own.

 

Get the correct size, you don’t want the vest to be too big or too small. If it is too big it can drape or fall over the shoulders however if it is too small it can cause restriction of movement and also pull in the front.

 

Get a color than can match many colored shirts, you don’t want to get a bright orange fur vest, what would you wear it with! A nice brown, black, or even tan fur vest will do wonders for throwing over any colored shirt you choose.
