The must-have look for fall 2000 is face-framing fur, the kind that's dramatic, sexy and oh-so-flattering.

On this trend, designers, retailers and journalists agree, probably because detachable fur collars or scarves are easy to wear and offer the fashion effect of fur without the price tag of a fur coat.

"This is the most refreshing season for furs I've seen in years," said Terry Thornton of Neiman Marcus. "There was not one major collection that didn't carry fur. I expect the Neiman Marcus customer will find fur in almost every area of the store this fall." For accessories? "Any bit of fur at the neck, including fur scarves that were all over the collections."

The May Vogue also notes that pashminas are way out, in favor of chinchilla collars by Prada.

But when it comes to fur accessories, always remember to keep other accents to a minimum -- unless you're an Anna Sui bohemian. Check out how some of the top New York City designers did it.
