Fashion Faux Pas: the Yeti Vest

My least favorite fall trend EVER is the latest fur vest look.  Everyone is trying to sell them, and some fashionistas are being tricked into thinking this look is cool. Unfortunately, the reality is that wearing a fur vest makes you look like a yeti.  Or like you're wearing a vest that is made from a dead yeti.  I'm not sure which is worse.

However, I do like the idea of wearing something like this for Halloween. It's a little bit scary; a little bit snuggly.  But definitely not something anyone should ever wear in real life.  Even if you add a belt or something else to make it seem fashionable.  There's just nothing you can do to make this acceptable to wear in public.

Oodles of designers are jumping on board with the whole yeti look.  The pictured vest is surprisingly from Michael Kors (who I usually love!) and costs $650.  In fact, the online shop offers up tons of fur vests that go all the way up to thousands of dollars!

If I see anyone wearing a yeti vest in the near future, I will puke all over their face. I suggest you all do  the same. No questions asked.  There's just no excuse for dressing up like a yeti.
