Getting a little on the wild side is just what any Fashionista may need this fall! Notably, fur is back this season, commonly seen in vests and jackets. I spotted this Fashionista rocking a faux fur vest and I was reminded of how potent this fabulous trend was in this year’s Fashion Week. Fur accessories have even been featured alongside designers Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta and Christian Cota. Faux fur does its job by keeping any Fashionista both warm and stylish.
