Luxe in Lace-Ups: Rita Ora's Faux Fur Coat and Leather Pant Look for Less

Rita Ora Look for Less
Faux fur is a major style must-have this season and with so many options for colors and silhouettes, it's easy to take this trend and make it your own!

Rita Ora styled a two-toned shag coat with a white bishop-sleeved blouse, black leather lace-up trousers, leather boots, round aviator sunglasses and stacked bangles. The ombre color of the coat is a great way to update the traditional look of natural fur and I love that the neutral tone doesn't distract from the detailing on her pants.

Read on to find out where to shop my style steals and recreate Rita Ora's look. Plus, let me know what style of faux fur you're loving for the season in the comments section below.
