Winter 2012 Trend: Fur Outerwear

Whether you prefer real or faux, loud or understated, fur is an absolute must for winter 2012. Ultra cozy and sophisticated, fur adds a sense of high fashion allure to just about anything you wear.

I love the look of a slinky mink cape over a white cotton tee and dark denim jean. Pair it with a gold statement necklace or bangle and you'll turn every single head on the street. Also consider marrying the vest trend with the fur trend with a fur vest. I love the look of a faux fox fur vest over a long sleeved tee and polished tresses.

If you want to play it safe with subdued fur accents, choose a garment or accessory that's fur-lined. For example, a fur trimmed glove or bag is the perfect complement to just about any outfit. Check out the affordable finds below.
