Looks like we'll be seeing tons of faux fur apparel this fall...

SusanG, SerenaW, IMAN and who know who else.

A little hear and there is OK but full down to the knees vests, that will absolutely put some bulk on you.

BRING IT!

For me, faux fur means the difference between being a hermit and being a human being during the winter months!

I'm all set ... I have a closet full - coats and jackets of all lengths. I did have one vest ... but gave it away. Just was NOT my look.

I got my first faux in Macy's Herald Square in about 1962 ... and have been wearing them since (except for my19 winters on the West Coast).

Most of what I have now are from Basso ... but there's one "linx" knee length that I bought elsewhere.

You might want to Google 'faux fur from China', many news organizations have done investigative reports analyzing 'faux fur', which turned out not to be faux at all, but a mixture of different animals' fur, including cat and dog.

We all know how horrible animals are treated in China, google the Yulin festival in China....but be warned it's horrific. You'll need a cast iron stomach and a heart made of stone.

I've seen some on QVC that look very nice. Would match up well with leather pants. I'm tempted for sure.

I don't own any (live in Miami) but I did order a quilted vest with what I thought was a removable faux fur collar.

It wasn't removeable AND it looked horrible on me! Not the fault of th faux fur but I did learn quilting is a bit tricky...

Faux Fur has been "in" for a very long time now. Some manufacturers have fined tuned their ability to make them look like real fur. The technology gets better and better every year.

Faux fur is just one thing I can't stand.

I think fur faux or real always seems to be in style. I am not a fan of fur. I do love fleece though.

I've been wearing faux fur off and on for years and I think I'm finally over that look.
