Like it or not faux fur vests are everywhere right now.  It’s still 90 degrees in Florida so I had not seen this trend in live action until last week when the temperature briefly dipped a couple degrees. Every woman in Florida pulled out their boots and sweaters in premature excitement.  I even saw a couple brave ladies rocking the faux fur vest.  They looked pretty hot – both literally and figuratively.  In my search for the perfect faux fur I have noticed a few things you need to be aware of before purchasing:

1.  Avoid looking like a cavewoman.  If you go with the longer version select one that is more tailored. The vests tend to be bulkier

2.  Texture. As you know, faux is just a fancy word for fake. Do not buy online!  To avoid wearing something that feels like your grandma’s carpet go see the selections in person.

3.  Never overspend on a trend. I don’t see this one staying strong through next year. I would cap my purchase at a $100.

Here are a few ways to wear a faux fur vest this season…

Ultra glam.  Black on black tones down some of that the 70′s vibe. $69

Perfect for work, church or coffee with the girls. Belting the vest vastly decreases the bulkiness factor. $98

Take a little of the country out of this set and opt for this $98 version from JCrew.

Versatility at it’s best. Use the same JCrew vest and pair it with a long-sleeved tee, skinny jeans and boots.
