Fur Trends

This winter we shouldn’t shy away from fur, although there is and always will be controversy about wearing fur, it shouldn’t stop us from enjoying the warmth and absolute luxury of a soft pelt. If you have a real problem with fur, buy vintage, I mean, the animal is already dead so you needn’t feel too bad. As an added not I would like to point out that if you disapprove of fur and think it’s unethical to kill an animal to wear its pelt, and then you should wonder where meat comes from, and what has to die to make it. Now I’ve compiled a few photos of a few different ways to wear fur, so enjoy and consider buying some fur this winter.


Gucci velvet jacquard evening jacket with mink collar, $9,590; Alexander McQueen fur mittens, $917




Tim Hamilton wool bomber jacket with fur collar and lined hood, $4,750


Tim Hamilton boiled-wool anorak with coyote-trimmed hood and curly shearling lining, $7,200



Rick Owens moleskin and fox cowl- collar coat, $5,450; Gucci leather jacket with fox lining, $8,890



Andrew Marc reversible rabbit and nylon vest, $850 at Saks and Bloomingdale’s; Yves Saint Laurent mink scarf, $3,695

Basically, keep the fur simple and restrained, fur lining, scarves, hats, mittons and well made full coats are the go, and while I love fur I also appreciate that there are some fur styles that you definitely should avoid

Nothing blue, for God’s sake.
Unless you wish to look like something out of Monsters Inc. Avoid blue and other un-natural colours.

Nothing that makes you look like you’re playing dress up in mommy’s wardrobe.
Womens' furs are for women, so stay masculine!

Nothing that makes you look like a pimp or a drag queen.
This kinda overlaps the colour point and i must add that overly outrageous furs are a big no-no.

Nothing that makes you look like you just stepped out of Starsky and Hutch.
This is pretty self explanatory....

Nothing that you might have to fight J. Lo over.
This is just to further the whole, dont wear womens' furs.
