This
winter, a classic fashion staple is making a comeback: fur. Fans of fur will be
delighted by the abundant array of fashion-friendly fur looks, from the very
popular fur vest to fur hats, earmuffs, coats, boots, and an extensive
assortment of other winter gear.
Fur is a classic symbol of elegance and wealth, with a history in fashion dating back to the early days of clothing production. Regarded for its warmth and durability, fur remained relevant worldwide, a fame only eclipsed by the creation of synthetic materials for clothing insulation.
Despite this fate, fur remained popular in luxury wear, and like most icons was (and still largely is) a big topic of controversy, with concerns over animal cruelty during manufacture cutting heavily into the popularity of fur.
In recent news, rapper and producer Kanye West and girlfriend Kim Kardashian were attacked by the outspoken animal rights organization PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) for donning fur. PETA supporters also have a reputation for throwing flour and even paint on folks in fur, and recently Kim Kardashian was flour-bombed for wearing fur at a red carpet event.
Despite the controversy, fur continues to be a popular look, and fortunately for animal lovers, plenty of fly faux-fur looks are available. Our favorite is this Juicy Couture vest, now 50% off on high-end retailer theoutnet.com.
