As fashionistas seek shelter from the storms, sleet and slush which are no doubt a landmark of winter in the True North, the runway trend of fur has returned once again. On the season’s catwalks, furry scarves and stoles made a splash, bringing a decorative yet lavish touch to wintertime looks. If you’re aiming to layer up in style this season, take these sartorial tips into account for both work and play.

Casual Chic

For a relaxed Saturday ensemble, look no further than the Fendi catwalk. Slip into a brilliantly coloured fur stole in shades of navy blue and orange, paired with a navy and white striped top. Meanwhile, a pleated brown midi skirt adds a quaint, rustic look with the addition of bright colours and a luxurious brown fur accent.

Work Wear

To shift the look into the business week, turn to a beige turtleneck sweater paired with a belted brown fur stole (as spotted at Michael Kors). Finish off your ensemble with a plaid knee-length skirt, mahogany-coloured leather loafers and a brown leather handbag with a gold chain strap.  

Evening

As day turns into night, take your cues from the Lanvin runway. Accessorize a fur stole with with a breathtaking, ethereal long gown in sweet shades of lavender. A floor-length pleated skirt, waist-cinching white leather belt and a lace bodice help to complete the look. As you step out for the evening, pick up a textured black clutch and put on your favourite dangling, dramatic earrings.
