By now, anyone doubting the popularity of the fur vest needs to capitulate. This sartorial item is fast becoming one of the most sought-after garments in years. Not long ago, most people thought about fur vests as a hippie vestige and not a super-styling wardrobe “must-have.” But today, the easy wear-ability and versatility of the fur vest is making it the über-chic item of the season.
The fur vest is not only a vest; it can easily channel a sleeveless coat… |

What makes this trend interesting is its creative approach, its rather democratic take on dressing and its multitude of variances. Yes, the fur vest is not only a vest; it can easily channel a sleeveless coat as much as a shrug or even a wrap.

It is now obvious that the creative Vest bandwagon is getting the historical redo. Designers and furriers alike might look at something from years past (or centuries for that matter) to develop new pieces. The creative wheel has no bounds, so as quirky as an original idea may have been, it becomes that much more interesting once updated for today’s fashion mood.
