We are not scientists over here. So don’t ask us to explain why faux fur, until very recently a bulky fiber that felt to the touch like a cheap stuffed animal, suddenly became as light and fluffy as whipped cream. (Because wouldn’t you rather look like dessert instead of a toy elephant?)

Whatever deep research in the fabric labs of the world led to this miraculous development, it has certainly arrived at the perfect time: So many people are questioning whether they wish to wear real fur at all, and unserious, unpretentious clothes seem more than ever necessary in these dismal—okay, let’s say, challenging—times.

Not only were no animals harmed in the making of these delightful fashions, but your bank account won’t be assaulted either—virtually all of these items reside happily in the affordable range.
