Double denim outfit with a faux fur vest
Here’s another outfit built around pieces from my January capsule. This one with starts with double denim topped with a faux-fur vest. Versions of this look have been circulating on Instagram and Pinterest for some time. I’ve always wanted to re-create it, but could never find a faux fur vest that a) was the right color and b) didn’t make me look like a Yeti, until now.

This faux-fur vest is a winner! It’s soft, a nice espresso brown, and adds a bit of luxe texture. It has pockets! And it’s WARM. It’s available in sizes 0 (4-6) to 3 (16-18) and is currently on sale!
I think of denim as a neutral. If your coloring is cool, you could go with a black, gray or even burgundy vest, black booties, and silver-toned jewelry.
Sunglasses were purchased in Paris at Jimmy Fairly. Here’s a similar style. The jacket is from Chico’s, and is a few years old now.
What I like about this combo is that the vest keeps me warm, but doesn’t make me overheat when I go from outdoors to indoors. And I think it would be perfect for casual patio dining during the cooler months.

Love everything about this outfit. Great casual + chic vibe. Dark brown bag is stunning.
Just loved the Yeti comment, it made me laugh
I love this look. I am hesitant at wear all denim, but the vest breaks it up nicely.
I love your hair! This post makes me smile with your confident approach to life.
I like denim on denim. I like railroad blue strip with denim too. It is hard for me to find the right length in a vest at 5’3’ and that’s stretching it. As we get older we shrink. But this looks less fur, more streamlined. Burgundy would be great. I just bought new burgundy boots.
I’m so happy to see denim on denim. This casual outfit looks great on you. I love the dark chocolate accessories.
I’’ve been told I’m a Winter ( many years ago) and one of my colors was dark cool brown. It works! On my phone, your vest looks cool , or at least neutral toned. So we can all get one! Just don’t know if it will be too long on my 4’11” body. I’ll try.
I would have never thought of this combination. It looks so great. Thank you for sharing
I saw this a while ago on Chico’s site. I wasn’t crazy about the way it was styled/photographed and it was a bit pricey before it went on sale. I love the way you’ve styled it. Seeing it on you I know it won’t overwhelm me so I’ve ordered it.
I just received a faux fur vest from my daughter for Christmas. So this is a very timely post. Thanks for the idea of a denim on denim outfit to wear with it! I probably wouldn’t have thought of that
That’s an interesting way to style a faux fur vest. I’m not sure if it would be comfortable for me to wear it that way in reality.
What a fun outfit! It was all I could do not to run straight over to my local Chico’s and snap up that fur vest! However, my New Year’s resolution is to stop impulse buying, so I resisted the urge and decided to “shop my closet” instead. I already have jeans aplenty and a denim jacket. I also have a couple faux leather and shearling vests as well as some quilted down vests that I think could be styled in a similar way. Thanks for another great inspiration–I can’t wait to try out these new-to me combinations!
Great idea with the down vest!
I have an aversion to faux fur. It feels weird. But I like the look. I wear vests often but never thought to put one over my denim jacket! Also never considered a long fashion vest like that…nice look. But mostly I like the Balenciaga bag and while I have it in black, I’ve been eyeing that brown/burgundy. Happy New Year!
I love this look. I haven’t seen it before. I never thought of pairing it with denim on denim. I have a black one I picked up at Costco and it’s nice and warm. It dresses up casual outfits.
Denim on denim is jokingly called a “Canadian Tuxedo” … so I always switch up one colour of denim…say, black jeans or white denim jacket .
But here you’ve shown an excellent way to break up the head to toe blue denim look.
Hmmm… what do I have in my closet that could work?
I love the Balenciaga! I’m an addict. Love the sunglasses too.
Nice look on you. The yeti comment made me laugh too!
I love this outfit Susan. I would love to see a back view of the ‘non yeti’ vest!
Not a favorite as it all appears too bulky but that said, it does work. Just a thought…., unbutton at least one more button on the jacket and lose the necklaces. I think unbuttoning will elongate the appearance . And imo the necklaces are just too much. Maybe add a heavier silver hoop earring to accent the face. I know you are supposed to wear gold but this outfit needs silver! You will be fine! I do love the vest.
I like the outfit. To me it has a winter vibe, probably because they are all dark colours.
Nice idea to wear a vest over a jacket. Wouldn’t work for me as denim near my face is awful and a vest is horrible when you have an inverted triangle bodyshape. But… you on the other hand, can wear this combination very well.

Loved the outfit and ordered the vest. Thank you Susan 🙂
