How to wear a fur vest

Unless you are an über celebrity you must be very careful when attempting to wear a fur vest. Yes, they are the latest fashion trend and it seems that almost everyone is wearing them but they could go wrong with only the simplest of mistakes.
Don't wear a HUGE fur vest, no one wants to see what looks like a giant grizzly bear walking down the street and I bet your bottom dollar that you won't be comfortable in any situation when you are drowning in fake fur. Leave the over-the-top looks for the runway please.
It looks nice when you have long sleeves on, not only should you wear long sleeves under the vest because it looks more put-together but also because the functional idea of the fur vest is to keep yourself warm and it would be silly to warm up with a furry vest and then expose your arms to the bare cold.
Other ideas include belting the vest and also wearing it will skinny jeans- both seem to work well. Stick with classic colors when picking a fur vest, tan, brown, black and gray seem to work well. Purple, blue, red, etc. might make a passerby ill. Overall, the fur vest (make sure its faux!) is a great way to update a plain, boring, typical outfit and definitely a fashion dare to indulge on!
