The Orange Carpet: Syracuse Fashionistas Adopt the FURturistic Trend

The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best of campus style (die, hoodies, die!).

Favorite trend: Fur!

Trend that needs to die: Jeggings. “They're getting old,” she said.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen the bold fur trend become a winter staple for fashionistas. Touches of fur on boots, earmuffs, and jackets are popular among the fashion masses. But why not rock this trend with a statement piece. Pair a fur vest or jacket with basic leggings and motorcycle boots for a bold, trendy look. From shaggy to soft there are different textures and colors of fur to fit every style.

Senior advertising major, Sarah Corwin, showed her edgy boho style when she rocked a motorcycle chic winter ensemble complete with a turban headband, motorcycle boots, and shaggy fur vest.

The Craze: Faux Fur, Real Fashion

The Craze is a trend report bringing you the latest (and, duh, the greatest) in beauty and style.

Designers were sending their models down the runway in huge fur coats for their Fall/Winter 2010 collections. We at The ‘Cuse Clothes Line are not advocating the use of animal products. That is a personal decision. But we are encouraging the use of faux fur—animal friendly and fashionable.

This time last year a few female students were rocking the faux fur vest a la Rachel Zoe. A year later and faux fur is still trendy! We haven’t experience a real snowfall in Syracuse this semester, but that doesn’t mean the weather hasn’t been cold. Instead of wearing a puffy vest, which looks like your winter coat minus the sleeves, try wearing faux fur. It is much cuter, more comfortable, and still provides the same amount of warmth. Faux fur will instantly add class to any ensemble. Others will think you put a lot of time into your daily outfit, but you’ll know the real fashion secret.
