If you know me, you know I love a good fur coat. Faux fur, vintage fur, oversized, cropped – I’ve been styling them for years and they’re one of those pieces I genuinely rely on every winter. Living in Chicago, a great coat isn’t optional – it’s a necessity.
What I love most is how versatile they are: I’ll throw one on during the day over a lounge set, wear it out to dinner or date night, and even style it with Aprés Ski vibes when I’m traveling. In my mind, fur coats manage to do it all – keeping you warm enough for freezing temps while still making every outfit feel elevated, polished and a little glam.

How I Style Faux Fur
