They’re chic, they’re warm and they’re cruelty-free. I’m talking about the women’s faux fur vests.

Now that winter is coming upon us, you only want fluffy and warm clothing. And when your fluffy training pants have to stay in the house, you have the option to cover up with a faux fur vest.

This fashion item was trending since last year, but it stayed on top of winter fashion successfully this season too. And for good reason!

A faux fur vest brings an extra touch of va-va-voom to the outfit, through an infusion of elegance, nonconformity, and sophistication. It fits in with stylish evening dresses for date night but also with casual outfits, with army boots and rock accents as accessories.

Faux fur vests are ideal in this period of transition between seasons. Perhaps on its own, the vest does not keep you very warm but worn over a fluffy sweater or over a sweater midi dress, it does its job.

Tips & tricks on choosing the right faux fur vest

You need to know how to choose the perfect faux fur vests. These are 3 tips and tricks that you have to be aware off so you can make the right decision.

#1 Think of the color.

The most wanted colors are neutrals: black, white but also grey and all shades of brown. They are even easier to match to almost any item in your wardrobe. Plus neutrals have that luxurious look that we all aspire to. The faux fur vests look so good nowadays, so polished, that you don’t even realize that they’re not real fur. If you already have a faux fur vest in a neutral shade you can pick a more colorful one. Think electric blue or fuchsia.

#2 You have to pick according to your budget.

The price reflects the quality of the product in 90% of cases. And if you choose a faux fur vest with a price less than $20-$30, this is noticed. However, the online shop prices start at approximatively $25 for a faux fur vest that looks good. Look up for my selection of faux fur vests to convince you!

#3 Think about the length of the faux fur vest

The length of the faux fur vest should be important criteria in choosing it, especially if you are not tall. The longer you choose it, the more you seem to drown in it. And if you don’t want to wear high heels, the effect will be even worse.

How to wear the faux fur vest – the stylish way to do it

Now that you have decided to buy a faux fur vest, research on how to style it is a must. I have already searched my favorite fashion blogs for stylish ideas on how to wear the faux fur vest.

You can’t go wrong with an all-black outfit. This way the brown faux fur vest will shine, it will become the point of attraction in your daily look.

You can style the faux fur vest with a casual midi dress. Just be careful to choose the right length. In this case, the vest must end around your waist so that it is enhanced.

You can wear a faux fur vest at work. Style it with a classic office shirt, a pair of elegant pants and proper shoes. The range of colors must be in the neutral zone. Leave the bright and shiny faux fur vests for date night :).

For a casual outfit, you could pare the faux fur vest with a fluffy sweater and a pair of jeans.

The faux fur vest looks amazing with a gingham shirt, a pair of blue jeans and brown boots. You get a casual look that you could wear all day running errands.

Wearing a faux fur vest on date night is the best way to stay warm and stylish at the same time. Pair it with a little black dress and over-the-knee boots, put on some lipstick and you’re good to go.

How to take care of your faux fur vest

Being a proud owner of a black faux fur vest who wants to enjoy it for a long time I want to take good care of it. So that’s what I do to avoid shredding:

• I brush it regularly with a dog comb;
• sometimes I use a lit roller to prep it;
• I never dry it in the dryer. Allways use the gentle cycle and air dry when needed.

Another solution to prevent the shredding of your faux fur vest is to put in the freezer. Never tried it, but I’ve read it works.
