Trend Talk - Faux Fur

Trend Talk

Faux Fur

As with any Autumn Winter season, faux fur is massively in, for it's warmth. But this season, the trend is becoming huge as designers start to completely ditch the use of fur and opt for the faux stuff instead.

Whether you want to go for something a little less obvious, with faux fur trims or go for the full on shaggy fur coat, we have put together some nice and easy, foolproof ways in which you may wear fur and get this super hot and toasty trend into your wardrobe this season. We start out as per usual with a super simple casual look.

 

"It's Faux" . "Fur real?"

For this look, we just really wanted to have a longer faux fur coat, thrown on over your simple jeans and T shirt to show you how easy it really is. You can obviously change up your footwear and trousers to make this more dressy, but for us, we love the statement trainers and coat, with everything else paired back.

Feather and Leather

We are loving the super on trend feather jacket at the moment, and it makes a fab alternative to fur. For a night out look, perfect for grabbing a few cocktails, we love pairing the father texture with some sexy leather leggings. Faux letter leggings that is. Just add in some simple accessories and shoes for a knockout look, or you can opt for some more glitzy pieces with a bit more dazzle.

Trend Talk: Vinyl

Trend Talk

Vinyl

Next up on the Trend Talk series is possibly a bit of a tricky one to get into. Practicality is not the best here. Every time you move, you will be sounding like a dog chew toy. But nonetheless, fashion is fashion, and the fun thing about that is, we go out of our way to pull off the wackiest trend out there in the moment.

So Vinyl. What to do with Vinyl!? Because, you know, leather is going to be next season, so you have to wait for that one (But in all seriousness, wear what you want!!). We are going to start this one out nice and easy with a casual ensemble, that you could wear out shopping or for lunch dates. Secondly, we have a night out option. Looks are all laid out below, enjoy.

Look 1 Your jeans and Jumper... jazzed up.

The pieces:

Trying to keep it as casual as possible, we love the idea of switching out jeans for something a bit more fun. But keeping it classy, we have added a cashmere black knit and paired this with a delicate necklace with the same finish and colour as the super funky sneakers. This will really finish off the look. When it is cold, and you're popping outside, casually through on a trench and you'll still look super on trench, casual, classy, and what's not to love about that? See Vinyl is easy!

Look 2 Club Vinyl

The Pieces:

Next, we want you to imagine you are going on a night out. How do we wear vinyl and not look like a stripper? Wear it in your coat. We love the pop of red (which is also super on trend) as a statement over just a plain black dress. Notice that it's high neck, so there will be no boobs and legs at the same time. We just added some plain black courts here, because the statement is really the coat, and we don't want to take any attention away from that. Simple is better in this case, and less is more!
