Go faux with leather skins, fur, and wool on your winter outfits.
The great news is that you do not have to rely on wool. In fact, some women have sensitivity to it and it makes them itch and others find it too heavy and prefer lighter fabrics. You might have to look around a bit more and definitely read labels, but there are other options available.
