It’s well known that fashion, like so many things, goes round in cycles. So it’s no big surprise that’s there’s currently a resurgence for all things fur – especially considering this freezing cold snap we’re in the middle of.

The debate rages on and on about whether you should go ‘fur’ the real thing (sorry!) or choose the more animal friendly option, faux-fur. There are some impassioned arguments on both sides of the fence and to be honest, I can see where both sides are coming from. I’m not a vegetarian and I wear leather shoes and boots… but even so I don’t think I would buy new real fur (even if I could afford it!)

You can get some pretty gorgeous faux-fur pieces that feel just as luxurious as the real thing.

I love the glamour of this faux-fur trimmed cardigan from Marisota. The fur trim is detachable depending on how dressy you want to be. (Glamour all the way for me!)

And this faux fur-trimmed suede coat from plus size fashion designer Anna Scholz looks so cosy in a decadent kind of way.  Just the thing for this cold weather we’re having too. The blue colour is fun but I always say you can’t go wrong with black.

What do you think?
