Outerwear, is, of course, the main attraction. Take Munthe’s animal print jacket and Twinset’s chocolate floor sweeper, both which offer a hirsute does of Scandinavian chic. Team them with a cosy roll neck, sharp trousers and ankle boots to keep things sleek and balanced. If drama is the goal, make Zadig&Voltaire’s ‘Faune’ your go-to. Throw it over slinky eveningwear or, for maximum contrast, an athleisure set and a matcha latte. Not all faux fur has to be outré. Essentiel Antwerp’s camouflage gilet slips neatly over a knit dress and belt, or layers under a trench for warmth and texture. As for denim days? Cropped or waist-length jackets elongate the leg and don’t overwhelm the silhouette. Keep to kick-flares for that Chloé girl vibe. More low-key? Add whimsy to capsule basics with The Kooples’ faux fur bag. And yes, even your feet can join in: Casadei’s ballet flats work best with cropped trousers or midi skirts. Think ‘editor dashing between shows’ with the energy of an off-duty podiatrist. Alternatively, treat faux fur as your new layering tool. A Mango cardigan under a tailored coat provides visual interest while a napped scarf adds texture to the humblest neckline. Rule of thumb? One furry item per outfit is chic. Two is daring. Three? Well, that’s a whole other TedTalk. GET THE LOOK: 1. Faux fur jacket, River Island @ Opera Lane, €92; Model: Candice @ Upfront Models 2. Combined zip-up faux fur cardigan, Mango, €49.99 3.
