Fur Question
I have a friend who recently asked me about the way she could wear her fur coat… She wasn’t even sure if she would ever wear it in public. When? Where? and the most important question here is HOW?
I immediately fired at her that she MUST wear it and that it was almost a crime not to wear it. (as a side note: I adore animals and if there is a way I can stop people from killing these adorable creature, I will do it! But I think that my refusal to wear the fur will in no way prevent the kill of poor animals. It’s been over thousand years that humans wear fur and…at least for now I can’t change the society)
OK, back to my discussion.
What really interests me is how many ways there are to wear your fur coat (or to upgrade your old one).The first and most obvious thing which will instantly change the look of your coat is (of cause) a belt: choose the one with metal studs and you will get an edgier style with a rock’n'roll vibe, choose a classic belt and there you have a classic style, choose a thin and patent leather belt and here you go – a coat with a slight feminine touch! These are only a few of the variations with which I can come up right now, but if you give it a deeper thought – you can make up your unique way to wear a coat with your unique belt.
The next thing is the sleeves. You can roll then up and get the 3/4 length – to show off your gloves. If you are ready to get to the extreme measures with your coat then you can just cut them off and get a cool sleeveless jacket… like this one 
on the picture.
You can make the shoulders bigger – in the 80′ies style, however this particular modification requires that the entire wardrobe conceptually matches the coat – there is a huge chance that the coat by itself will look just ridiculous rather than stylish! So watch out with shoulders!
What else? I can think of adding some cool brooches (bot they must be proportional – not too small and not too big). I like the ones that combine small and big chains may be in different colors.
Over all , I think that the idea of a fur coat is coming back this season (at least in my wardrobe). As a funny example of how fur affect today’s style is this Opening ceremony collection for the release of the Where The Wild Things Are book this October where furs (even though faux ones) are in the center of attention…
