Is this vest warm enough for winter?

It is a layering vest, not a coat. It adds texture and some warmth over a sweater, but the collarless cut and open armholes leave the neck and arms exposed. It works best in fall or mild winter days, or indoors.

How does the sizing run?

It is a Torrid plus-size piece, so shop your usual Torrid size. Faux fur adds bulk at the chest and shoulders, so a closer fit can feel tight over thick knits. Size up if you plan to layer it over heavy sweaters.

Can I wash it at home?

No. The care label calls for dry cleaning only. Machine washing can mat the faux fur pile and distort the lining, so plan on professional cleaning.

What do I wear under a collarless fur vest?

A fitted turtleneck, a long-sleeve bodysuit or a slip dress all work. Keep the layer underneath smooth so the hooks close flat and the vest sits cleanly.

Does it have pockets and a closure?

Yes. It has pockets and closes at the front with hooks. The hooks are hidden, so the front reads as a clean line rather than a button placket.

Is it the same as a puffer vest?

No. A puffer vest uses quilted insulation for warmth and is usually washable. This vest is faux fur over a polyester shell, so it is more about texture and style than insulation.
