Faux the Love of Fur

I love faux fur anything. Besides the fact that animals are not being slaughtered to make us feel fancy, faux fur is certainly more affordable and they are more fun with all the different textures, colors and patterns. Because real fur would have to be altered to achieve these fun looks, the cost would definitely be higher and would require so much more care. Below are a few more reasons why faux is the way to go.
Faux fur is easier to store:

Real fur requires proper cleaning and storing for the summer months to keep them in the best condition, which doesn’t come at a cheap price. However, faux fur can easily be stored in your closet with all your other winter goodies as long as it’s placed in a cool, dry area. I personally place a plastic covering over my faux fur to keep it from accumulating dust over the summer months.

Faux fur lasts longer:

Synthetic fibers are more resilient to regular wear and tear and outdoor environments whereas real fur may fade if dyed or not properly maintained when worn frequently.

Faux fur is easier to clean:
I don’t know about you, but I would rather have less items that require specialty dry cleaning over regular dry cleaning. And even more so, I’d prefer to just use my washer if at all possible. I’ve washed one faux fur vest on a gentle cycle in a protective delicates bag I picked up from Nordstrom and it turned out great. I removed the vest immediately after the cycle was complete, hung it in a room that has good air circulation and I ran my fingers through the material so it didn’t dry lumped together. I would check on it throughout the day to see how it was drying and brush it with my hands where necessary. Afterwards, I put my blow dryer to it just to fluff and soften it up a bit. Looked good as new! Check it out in a previous blog post.

I’ve compiled some of my favorite faux fur coats below for you guys to look through and shop! These are all  in such high demand and now that the end of season sales are going on, coats are quickly going out of stock so be sure to secure the coat! Also, some retailers such as forever 21, allow you to enter your contact information so you can be notified if and when an item is available again. They won’t order what they don’t think the consumer will purchase, so if you really want a particular coat and that option is available, I definitely recommend taking advantage of it. I certainly do! Happy shopping Loves!
♡ Xo,

    I love faux fur for all of the reasons you’ve written about! It looks great, is totally cruelty free, and it’s way easier to care for. Thanks for including your washing experience. I love the idea of quickly fluffing things up with your blow dryer after!
