Trends born from fashion’s obsession with juxtaposition are seldom logical in hindsight. Think vibrant velour joggers paired with skyscraper stilettos, Ugg boots worn below airy denim minis. Just ridiculous.

For this reason, when I say to you sweatshirts worn with metallic leather skirts are a good idea, I do so fully aware that I’ve subconsciously sipped the Kool-Aid; Kool-Aid prepared by the influential fringes of Anna Wintour’s bangs. Wait! Wait, I say. We’re not talking just any sweatshirt. We’re talking about a shirt that in itself perfectly represents the appeal of contrast.

Chicago designer C/Fan has upgraded everyone’s favorite Netflix binge weekend uniform with fur – fur shaped in the form of a ginormous, get this, diamond! Does it get more topsy-turvy than that? Nope. It doesn’t.

What.

This is a comfy jumper thing begging to be worn on dates and to parties solely because it’s tastefully befurred – which is like bedazzled but with fur. You get it. There is no reason not to wear this shirt. Going a date? Pair it with that skirt we agreed you’d wear two paragraphs ago. Running errands? Easy. Throw on some jeans. Girls’ night? Even better. Take the opportunity to really push those limits by committing to a vest. What’s propriety again?

From lunch date to evening dinner, I love this look for being so up-for-anything. The cutie patootie beanie is another C/Fan creation.

Add punch with a punchy clutch and, of course, another excellent beanie by Chicago’s C/Fan.

Girls nights are a great time to wear things men usually consider hideous – like vests. This look is all style, no fashion. Well, maybe just a little fashion too.
