But the options are exciting. I doubt many women are going to go for stuffing their hips in a puffed-up skirt or padded dress with Velcro closure. Like padded shoulders, however, padded vests and jackets just might make hips look narrower by contrast. Try it on and consult the mirror. Fur is in the spotlight once again and following the fashion down the leg.
Mink turns out to be the favorite fur.
The newest treatment is shearing. Fur jackets are sheared for a less bulky, more casual look. Simply styled, they even look right with crisp looking jeans. Strategically placed, fur of all types is being used to trim jackets and coats, often paired with a matching sleeveless dress or buttery suede and leather pants. Suede and leather sound wonderful, but sleeveless in the dead of winter never seems to make sense.
