We like fur, though we prefer faux fur over real fur. Faux fur brings the elegance and glamour of a fur coat or scarf without ethical concerns, though real fur can be more environmentally friendly than faux fur.
Wearing fur is like sporting a crown; it’s a statement piece that stands out. With its attention-grabbing nature, fur needs minimal additional accessories.

Speaking of fur, British model Abbey Clancy was spotted sporting a healthy dose of white fur for Nick Grimshaw’s birthday party last week.
The leggy blonde arrived at the event in all-black attire topped with a chunky, furry white topper.

Abbey Clancy’s fur vest was an unmistakable statement piece adorned with a cascade of hanging “tails” that lent her a unique, albeit peculiar, appearance.
The voluminous silhouette it created seemed to engulf her, almost as if the garment was swallowing her. This daring choice certainly turned heads, but it also raised questions about whether less might have been more in this instance.

Can you appreciate the outfit? Did Abbey Clancy go overboard with the fur? It’s all a matter of perspective. Abbey opted for genuine fur, with the “tails” coming from a specific part of the animal, adding an intricate and unique detail to her look.
A simple faux fur vest, stole, or scarf would have sufficed. Consider this affordable piece from Eliza J, for example:
White Eliza J Faux Fur Stole, $98
Simply use the stole over an all-black outfit like Abbey’s, and you’re all set. Finish the look with a black purse and some black heels, and voilà, instant fabulousity.
