Trend #23: Neon Fur

by Jessica Ciarla

Oversized overcoats in faux fur and bright colors

Luxurious, furry, and fabulous, these overcoats are something you can curl up in this winter while looking like a standout.  Worn over gorgeous cable knit sweaters and belted with the tiniest leather belts and bows, these neon pieces will brighten up any monochromatic winter look. Somewhat reminiscent of a sesame street character, the textures range from short and soft to long and furry.

 Cut at the knee, or just above, try not to get lost in these bright colored beauties by showing a little leg underneath. Since these colors are not found in the wild, it should be easy to find faux fur lookalikes, avoiding any harm to your furry friends.

Herve Leger shows off an ultra soft, black version thrown over a geometric mini dress.

Michael Kors goes lime green from head-to-toe with a soft, cozy overcoat and matching pointy stilettos.

Hot pink in Dolce and Gabbana, this hairy coat manages to keep a strong shape with exaggerated shoulder and a cinched waist.

In shades of jade to forest green, Behnaz Sarafpour shows off a full cut, three quarter length sleeve with a beaded belt.

Go bold in one color from top to bottom, or pair an open colored vest with a contrast for a hint at the trend.
