With the AW15 season catwalks being awash with autumnal hues of oranges, maroons, emerald and olive greens and a base of chocolate browns – one wonders what the best way could be to filter this revamped mid 1970’s colour spectrum into our every day outfits. For those of us, and perhaps the majority, that tend to sway against versatile blacks and greys for the colder times of the year – this new mood could potentially become a bit of a sartorial challenge presenting the anecdotal fur stole.
When was the last time you bought a brown coat or an orange sweater? Didn’t think so. Not to fret, designers like Jason Wu, Marni and Ohne Titel have all embraced the fur stole as a way to light up an otherwise perhaps muted winter ensemble.
Now, splurging on a replacement for what would otherwise most likely be a traditional wool scarf and perhaps a bit on an afterthought may seem like risky business, but we believe the fur stole to be the best purchase you could possibly do once the summer is over. Consider the following; What is that key item and layering piece that is going to take you through the autumn into winter? That you will be able to smoothly incorporate into your current wardrobe without becoming stale and boring after a couple of months of wear and that you’ll be able to dress up or dress down if the occasion warrants it? If you haven’t seen it as an option before, it’s high time you count the fur stole as the new investment piece of the season.
