This fall is all about extremes, from the super sleek to billowing volume. Turn heads with bouffant texture by rocking fur, a style staple that earns double points for functionality. Unlike the pelts of previous seasons, designers such as Dolce and Gabbana, Fendi, Emilio Pucci and Maurizio Pecoraro have teased and tousled pieces to increase the fur factor in fall fashion.

Ensure you’re on the cutting-edge of chic and choose real over replica. These days, faux fur is not so much fashion faux pas as fashion forward. Pull off the luxe look without a guilty conscience with Juicy Couture’s vintage-inspired fawn faux fur vest and Rebecca Taylor’s boho glam faux fur gilet. For more coverage, Diane von Furstenburg’s Indina Mongolian faux fur jacket will keep global nomads looking chic and feeling cozy.

A word of warning –  keep a leash on your primal instincts and choose key pieces to avoid looking like our furry friends. The only thing that should be roaring is your fierce fashion sense.
