Welcome back to stylishly good vibes! Today we’re talking all about my favorite faux fur jacket—and why you shouldn’t save statement pieces for special occasions.
You all probably know by now that I’m a sucker for a statement piece. So when my mom found this jacket on Anthropologie’s website, I was instantly obsessed. But I didn’t buy it at the time—I was about to leave for a trip to Italy (more on that later) and didn’t want to spend extra money if I didn’t have to. Well, a month later, when my birthday came around, my mom surprised me with this faux fur jacket. Talk about cool!
Statement Pieces for Every Day
Statement pieces like this faux fur jacket aren’t just for fancy occasions; they deserve to be part of your everyday wardrobe! The duality of seeing it online vs. seeing it in person was unreal. This jacket IS IT! I’m absolutely obsessed with it. I was waiting and waiting for it to be cold enough to wear it, which got me thinking: why do we often save statement pieces for occasions we deem as ‘special?‘ Shouldn’t every day be seen as special?
Dressing for Yourself
If you’ve known me for some time, you know that I’m chronically overdressed. What you see online and on the blog is my authentic self—getting dressed up every day brings me joy, especially now that I work from home. It’s nice to feel like myself even if no one else is around to see it. It’s like they always say: dress for yourself, not for anyone else. Whether it’s a faux fur jacket or a bold statement coat, these pieces can completely elevate your outfit, even on the most casual days.
Bring On the Stares
I guess what I’m trying to say is now is the perfect time to audit your closet and make a pile of the statement pieces you haven’t worn in a while. With each piece you pick up, ask yourself: “Am I avoiding this piece because I’m nervous to wear it?” or maybe something along the lines of “I don’t have an event to wear this yet.” Whatever the case may be, I challenge you to wear that piece of clothing out within the week. Whether it be going to the store, out on a date with your significant other, or just for funsies, I promise you will feel great!
Sometimes we have to remind ourselves how fun statement pieces can be—and that’s okay! Wearing a statement piece, like this faux fur jacket, can make any day more fun. It’s like putting on a little piece of happiness, reminding yourself that every moment can be special when you choose to make it so.
Faux Fur Jacket Styling Tips
Now that I’ve convinced you to wear your favorite statement pieces more often, let’s dive into how to style a faux fur jacket for maximum impact! In my opinion, more is more. If I’m wearing a faux fur jacket, you bet the whole outfit is going to be a statement moment.
I love wearing this faux fur jacket with cropped black or blue jeans or with a skirt or dress. This jacket functions the same way as any other jacket in your closet. It just has a little something extra to it—but don’t be afraid!
For a daytime look, pair your faux fur jacket with high-waisted jeans and a turtleneck sweater for a cozy vibe. Want to go all-out? Pair it with a sleek red dress and tall boots for a bold evening look!
