Winter 2010 Fashion Trends : Shaggy, fluffy & furry Vests

It’s hard not to notice that there’s a fair amount of fluff happening in the form of vests & jackets right now. From Autumn Designer Lookbooks, fashion magazine editorials and celebrities, this rock chic look is going to be huge for Winter 2010. Lucky for us it’s one of those really simple trends that anyone can experiment with & instantly update any basic outfit.

Now there are some who don’t have a problem with fur, but for those who don’t feel comfortable, there’s no need to miss out on working this trend. With plenty of faux versions, loopy woolen knits and 70's shag style, there’s no shortage of variety to chose from. The question is, what do you wear them with?

One of my favourite things about this style of vest is its versatility. It can be worn in an assortment of different ways from a blouse & skinny jeans to a cute tunic with tights and biker boots. As one of the hottest accessories this winter season, I haven't actually purchased one myself yet but will definitely be investing in at least one!

Rachel Zoe is one of the key celebrities to bring back the look. A fan of vintage fashion, the look that she and many others a rocking could be seen straight out of a 70’s fashion magazine. I love the silhouette that the look (top) creates with the over sized vest and simple black underneath. The look (above) is even more 70’s inspired with the flared jeans & her trademark over sized sunnies.

Love this entire ensemble from the Nookie Boutique Winter 2010 Collection
