No joke—whenever I want to feel like my most extra, dramatic self, I throw on faux fur vest. There’s just something about the outerwear style that gives me bougie 1940s vibes, and absolutely nothing compares. You could be wearing sweatpants and a 10-year-old tee, but add a faux fur vest? Instant elevation. This winter, if there’s one trend you decide to spend your coin on, let it be plus-size faux fur vests.
Thought it may come as a surprise, plus-size faux fur vests are endlessly versatile. High-waisted jeans and a turtleneck? Add a faux fur vest. The cutest mini dress in your closet? Add a faux fur vest. A comfy loungewear matching set? Yep, add a faux fur vest. There is no outfit that this trend cannot elevate—period.
Not only are these vests effortlessly chic, but they’re the perfect cozy addition to any wardrobe. If you’ve ever wanted to wear your favorite blanket around and look good while doing it, do yourself a favor and throw on a faux fur vest with your next fall or winter ensemble. You’ll stay warm as you’re out and about and look like a rich widow. High-key, this is my dream aesthetic.
Whether your only prerogative this season is to dress as cozy as humanly possible or (like me) you find great comfort in looking like wealthy grandmother from 80 years ago, plus-size faux fur vests should become your new go-to outerwear piece. Once you slip one on, you’ll understand exactly why they’ve stood the test of time—and your wardrobe will never, ever be the same. (Dramatic, but accurate!) Let the coziness commence.
