Mercedes Benz Fashion Week has come and gone and taken with it a slew of epic shows from the likes of Bec & Bridge, Sass & Bide, Zhivago, We Are Kindred and many more hitting the runway for our viewing pleasure. Fashion highlights included Alice McCall’s feather adornments, Bec & Bridge’s bold and innovative designs and Zhivago’s unique take on a futuristic but retro-inspired runway style.
Amidst the flashy and stunning runway styles emerged an abundance of new season trends. Something we look forward to every year is seeing the way the fashion world might change for the coming months based off what is sent down the runway. One surefire trend we saw emerge was the classic but ever stunning faux fur accessories. From jackets to scarves, throw-overs to gloves and fluffy keyring pom-poms, faux fur is a trend that has never truly left the fashion scene — it simply takes a holiday and comes storming back just at the right time!
So, how can you work some faux fur into your street style?
Dual-tone faux fur jackets are one of our favourite ways to wear faux fur this season. Working in two colours can turn your jacket into a statement piece to set off your outfit in just the right way, and faux fur jackets don’t always have to be worn over dresses! This stunning street style look has been paired with a bright, bold-coloured suit with flared pants and a trim jacket. Bright, heart-shaped sunglasses and statement rings further exemplify this outfit as quintessentially perfect and we just adore the subtle nuances within it all!
The inspired rendition of this look is our Fire and Ice Jacket by Unreal Fur. Featuring a stunning ombre of black and white, this jacket is the perfect way to incorporate chic style into your outfit! Emulate this street style with a bold jumpsuit, such as our The Blank Stare Jumpsuit by Mossman. Featuring bright and bold red with off-shoulder sleeves and a flared hem, this jumpsuit is the perfect centrepiece to your stunning street style look!

A perfect example of how faux fur can be styled up as a statement accessory, rather than the centrepiece of an outfit.

It’s a good example of how the right accessories can completely and utterly transform an otherwise minimalistic outfit!

Try it with our Maurie and Eve Elia Dress for a cocktail party or a night out in the city with the girls! Keep your other accessories to a minimal so that the attention remains fixed on your stunning faux fur!
The great thing about street style is that it can be understated. It’s the smaller facets that make simple ensembles memorable, an example of which is this outfit.
