For several seasons now the fur vest has successfully served as a cold-weather layering staple. But this winter it's being rendered in new cuts and entirely fresh colors and worn under and over coats and jackets. Among my favorite faux furs are a wintry white, tasseled (which I proudly own and have been wearing over filmy blouses and under my army green parka) and its multi-hued ; an adorable, leopard print (imagine over a black coat or even a jean jacket--love!..and 40% off); a forever-chic and rich-looking chocolate brown , and a leather-lined black (35% off).
