How to wear faux fur at any age
Faux fur has always been around to some degree but we can thank Karl Lagerfeld for bringing it to the fashion forefront last fall with his head-to-toe looks for Chanel. To our delight, plenty of designers followed with more affordable pieces. As we plunge into winter 2011, the faux fur options abound. There are vests, ponchos, scarves, hats-even stilettos to choose from. One of the many reasons we're on board is that unlike, say, lingerie as outerwear, faux fur is a trend that women of any age can embrace. Before you hit the racks, have a look at our style guide to wearing faux fur in your 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s.
Whether you prefer a soft and refined style or a loud and proud, shaggy-haired bohemian look, there are plenty of faux fur options to suit you. Here's what we recommend if you're in your…
20s
Take the trend to the extreme by playing with long-haired pieces, bold jewelry, and 70s-inspired accessories.
30s
Rein it in a little by using faux fur to accent an artfully layered look.
40s
Think classic and sophisticated with elegant pieces in natural colors.
50s
Monochromatic is key. Pair your faux fur with luxurious materials like silk brocade and leather.
