From the time of Imperial Rome, fur has been worn with an air of sophistication, and has perhaps been associated with wealth and power. Maybe that’s why it never seems to quite go out of style. From Elizabeth Taylor, to the Spice Girls, to Justin Bieber, seemingly everyone who’s anyone has been spied at some point over the decades sporting the furry apparel. If you’re feeling averse to this fuzzy fashion statement, don’t be mislead! Fur has proven to be quite the shape-shifter, allowing it to stay fresh despite its centuries-old history. A few years ago, exotic animal fur vests were everywhere; leopard and wolf print fur vests were a total mood- fierce, fluffy and fabulously warm. This year, fur is back, this time in the form of boxy fur coats- and it’s taking on a whole new attitude. So many celebrities and fashion icons have taken a stand against wearing real animals, and we see it actually impacting the industry, hence, the emerging teddy fur trend. This safe, soft fabric of 2019 is all the rage, and we’re a total fan! The new fur look is also proving to be incredibly versatile. Unlike a leopard print vest, teddy fur has the potential to serve as an understated jacket or to be stepped up with the refined air that fur so often exudes! Teddy coats and sweaters are also generally coming in more neutral tones, making them so much easier to wear on the daily. We love a good statement piece, but there’s nothing like a trusty neutral to pair with… well… everything. Did someone say new favorite winter staple?
Which cool kids have we seen cozying up in teddy? To name a few, Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, madison Beer and Vanessa Hudgens have been spied rocking this cute trend.
