One of this season’s big trends is fur/faux fur (if we can call a trend something with a repetitive presence in winter collections). Not something I’ve paid too much interest to in the past and something I’m more likely to wear in the form of a fur stole or scarf, or a chic trapper hat. Eschewing the challenge of a fur coat, it’s just a touch of glamour that echoes a sought-after ease when paired with a more casual item (because we tend to be more on the comfortable side in the cold of winter, don’t we?), like an elbow wool-patched corduroy blazer.

i do like a little bit of faux trim, but more on others than myself, i think it makes me feel a little claustrophobic. but i really like your idea of the chic trapper hat.
