Fur fashion accessories rule retail..!

If one thing is clear within the big fashion picture, since the early 2000s accessories are fast becoming the bread-winner for fashion collections, the way “beauty” used to be. Don’t believe us?

Needless to say, not only are accessories becoming the strongest moneymaker in the industry; accessories have recently surpassed beauty (i.e. perfume, cosmetic, skincare) in revenue, something that 20, or even 10 years ago, would have sounded like Wall Street heresy. Hey, you’re witnessing business history!

Why are accessories becoming so important? Well, to be fair, they have always been around. But now, with a much more democratic sartorial attitude and way of dressing, folks opt for different key-status projections. Once upon a time, it was overwhelmingly “the car” that served as status, but that’s old news now. With Generation Y not being too keen on driving, the car-factor got the boot! But we digress. The reality is that accessories allow the individual to make a statement about their fashion sense, their lifestyle, their affluence or their status with considerably less investment or commitment.

Luxury Fur Fashion Hats: Topping It Off In Style

No need to panic, the colder weather can be an ally…an ally to accessorize for! Of course, we’re talking about the ever-so-chic FUR HAT! A fur hat is not just an accessory, it is a statement piece in the making–a great sartorial ally.

These past few seasons we have grown accustomed to seeing young beauties in fox trapper hats(the sky is the limit when it comes to sizes, colors and proportions). Chic and sporty and so very warm, these fashionable fur hats work well for both men and women.

But, there is another look we’re starting to see around hot spots and chic parties. It’s the pillbox hat version, that “From Russia with Love” hat type that is as historical and romantic as it is chic and classic. Jacqueline Kennedy, thanks to Halston, has done more for the beatification of the shape as a fashion icon. This hat is definitely much dressier and somewhat more mature in look. Then again, it only takes a few pretty young things to be chronicled in the magazines to change public opinion.
