The colorful faux fur stole has been my favorite accessory this winter. It has a way of immediately making any outfit look super luxe. But upon buying this one from Nordstrom’s Halogen x Atlantic Pacific collection, I felt totally intimidated by how to style it. That’s why I wanted you to avoid the same fate, and so I’m sharing my favorite three ways to wear a faux fur stole.
It can definitely be A LOOK. So start small; try one in a basic color like navy or black. Also, they come in all sorts of lengths and widths. This one from Nordstrom is a little wider than I would’ve liked for petite size ladies. For reference, I’m only 5’4.
Three Ways to Wear a Faux Fur Stole
Going out to dinner….Cinch it with a belt over pants and a sweater
Slinging it over your shoulder and cinching it with a belt has been my favorite way to wear it. This is perfect for a winter night out. It’s deceivingly warm!
Going for a weekend brunch…one shoulder with or without a belt over a coat
Similarly, try the one shoulder look over a coat for an extra chilly day. This would be great for heading to brunch with friends or even on your way to work. I wore this for a Sunday lunch date with a friend at a food cart.
Leave off the belt for a more casual look.
Going for a daytime errands…wear it as a shawl
Use it as a luxurious (and toasty!) shawl. Often times, it feels like you need to wear a faux fur stole with a really dressy outfit, but hopefully this dispels that myth. This is a great way to incorporate the accessory over a more casual look.
I threw this on over a denim button down, black jeans and sneakers to walk around the city with my husband one afternoon. The best part of that, you probably have all of those things in your closet!
Other ways to wear…
– classic drape
– wrapped up as a scarf
