If you’re looking to inject Hollywood pizzazz into your autumn wardrobe and give yourself a glamorous lift, I have some welcome news for both your style and your bank balance.
You don’t need to buy a coat, or a new jacket to do it. That’s right! All you need to make your existing coat or jacket – or even a jumper or cardigan -look polished again is the simple addition of a well-chosen faux-fur accessory.
A sumptuous cuff, say? One you can pull on to take your jacket, knit, or favourite coat from everyday style to cinematic chic. Or how about an oversized triangle faux fur scarf in rich brown – one you can drape over a jumper, jacket or coat to give your whole outfit some insouciant A-list polish?
Faux Fur Cuffs
These accessories, and many more besides, including Hitchcockian faux fur pillbox hats in two colours, plush mittens in leopard print and shiny conker, and plush snoods in dark brown and caramel blonde are all part of the autumn/winter collection Marks and Spencer showed on the catwalk last month.
Faux Fur Triangle Scarf
The retailer is on a mission to create affordable yet glamorous accessories that mean we don’t have to replace perfectly good clothes to get a new look. In this clever faux-fur range M&S has made sure they are fabulous and affordable, with the most expensive item, the triangle fur scarf costing £30, and the most affordable items, the fur collars and blonde cuffs, at just £16.
Faux Fur Snood
My personal favourites are the brown cuffs and matching snood, shown in the first image, above. First because they match and will look considered worn together; I’d wear mine with my favourite burgundy cords and a grey jumper now and a navy coat later. Of, and, of course, as well as channeling the new glamorous mood coming into fashion, they’re toasty warm too.
If you decide to buy into these accessories, my main advice? Buy them so they match. Choose between caramel blonde, dark brown and leopard, and let your screen siren era commence.
