Faux-fur has transcended way past coats and cold-weather accessories. From sneakers to handbags, faux-fur’s newfound mainstream look has become a must-have addition to your fall/winter wardrobe. But have faux-fur shirts gone too far (no, not fur-trimmed, the entire shirt), or is this just the new future of faux-fur?

Take Missguided’s Vienna Fur Panel Shell Top. The front of this sleeveless teal top is completely covered in faux-fur. While some (let’s just call them fashion farts) may think that this style is particularly muppet-like (which I have no problem with, muppets are awesome—it’s a fact), surely you know better—or do you? This top essentially acts the same way your favorite faux-fur vest does—just slightly different. I would recommend pairing it with a long-sleeved top underneath (layering always grants you style points, plus the whole bare arms-fur shirt thing is kind of odd). Try this black crewneck sweater or gray tee.

For the fashionably daring, there’s the Irina Crop Faux-Fur Front Sweatshirt from Boohoo. I mean, I you love faux-fur, you love cropped tops, and you loooove sweatshirts (right?), so what is stopping you from rocking this utterly unique sweatshirt (besides week-long shipping)? Nothing, that’s what. Just add your favorite pair of high-waisted denim (or mom jeans) and sneakers/ankle boots for a fresh spin on, like, five different wardrobe staples.
Will you ever consider these faux-fur tops? Or is muppet-chic not quite up your alley?
