Can I still wear my most beautiful and stylish — at least it was in 1987 — raccoon and fox 3/4-length fur coat?

–Jeanne T., Cape Cod, MA

Most certainly, wear your warm, snuggly raccoon and fox coat. You know what they say in fashion, anything chic comes around again.

Style it up. By wearing your 3/4-length fur coat over winter tights or leggings with boots — or even with a knee-length skirt and boots — you update the look.

The best leggings can be found at Hue:  http://www.hue.com

The greatest tights are at Wolford:  http://www.wolford.com

A favorite this season is the sleek over-the-knee boot with leather on the front and back and a more giving micro stretch fabric on the sides making them an easy fitting, pull-on boot for every shape calf, and found at your favorite department store or shoe store. For instance, look for ‘The Fifo Boot’ at:  http.//www.stuartweitzman.com

Depending on your style, the more country casual Hunter adjustable boot would look fab, as well, with a raccoon coat of any length:  http://www.hunterboots.com

Accessorize with a loosely tied sash or wide leather belt belted tightly. Double up a long scarf and loop the ends through the middle for a pop of color around your neck. Don’t forget your gloves. Stay warm.
