In this article, we’ll cover a particularly hot style to arrive this spring: combining fur and metallics. How can you get in on this look, and why is it making waves? Keep reading to find out!
Celebrity-Style Glamour
So, where exactly did this particular look come from? Sources indicate the famous Jennifer Lopez may be the originator, or at least have cast an especially bright spotlight! In 2015, the immaculate actress was spotted wearing a blush top with shiny, matching bell bottoms. Over the top was a plush fur coat of the same shade, complemented further by subtle, but glimmering, makeup. You can get an up close glimpse of this look by watching her appearance on Jimmy Fallon, as she wore the outfit during an appearance there. On top of the fabulous silhouette and color choices, we really admire her outfit’s retro flair! It also proves you can creatively pull off metallics without using any actual metal—which is good news especially for those who may be interested in this look, but also deal with metal allergies.
Furs and Metallics with Brogue Shoes
Real fur accessories aren’t the only apparel to undergo a revival as of recent years. Brogues—a type of shoe very similar in style to Oxfords—are also enjoying a surge in popularity. Fashion show models have been spotted striding down the runways in metallic pants, jumpsuits and jewelry, combined with chic brogue shoes and light fur jackets. You could easily pull off this sort of look on a breezy spring day!
Skirts and Fur Neckwear
If you’d like to look especially glamorous for a day, why not pair your favorite basic top with a metallic skirt and your best piece of fur neckwear? We recommend a collar, shawl or—for the daring—a long scarf. One of the most appealing elements for this type of ensemble are the color possibilities. You can easily find lighter types of real fur accessories in a wide assortment of colors and patterns, making it much easier to mix and match. Don’t be afraid to experiment, whether with this outfit suggestion or with combining fur and metallics in general. The sky’s the limit!
