What does a snow leopard have to do with your fashion choices this winter? Easy. National Geographic attributes only the fiercest qualities to a snow leopard. "These rare, beautiful gray leopards, are insulated by thick hair, and their fur-covered feet act as natural snowshoes." Sign me up! That's exactly what we need this winter: gray, thick layers, [faux] fur boots...oh my!
Let's talk about these fur vests on the rage. Warm and fashionable, the ultimate tool for winter. Stick a simple long-sleeve or turtleneck underneath, and you'll be the warmest walking piece of fashion.
"But, can I pull off this fur vest," you ask? YES. ABSOVESTLY. Dress it down with your favorite comfortable jeans, or flirt it up with black, leather leggings. Don't forget the booties. Your booties are an imperative tool to get you through the winter.
Black-on-black is a great outfit to keep in your back pocket for every day of the week. Black outfits to winter is Shawn Booth (Bachelorette "winner" 2015) to workout posts. Black long sleeve, black leather jacket, black jeans, black booties...the perfect set.
For those of you suffering in the arctic tundra like me...a pair of snow boots is your best friend. Dance very carefully on the line of fashionable and practical. For example, a neon pink pair of boots might not match that many outfits, however, white might do the trick!
When you're not wearing black, add in some soft, warm and bright outfits. The warm colors against white snow will make your eyes, hair and smile pop. HELLO eye-contact with your crush. That's right, you'll be excited to face the cold just to show off your outfit. People will see you and think, "is that a real life snow leopard?" You'll do your snow panther strut past them and they'll confirm that, indeed, you are.
This faux-fur trend is everything this winter. Like, drop-your-Starbucks-Flat-White-Latte-to-free-your-hands-and-grab-every-item-you-can everything. Whites, browns, blacks, pinks, blues, you name it. You know the drill, layer it up and do your snow leopard strut.
Just remember, Emma Roberts did it, so you can, too. Confidence is key. So, suit up, you snow panthers. Winter is here.
