Fur is the perfect fall and winter addition to any closet, keeping you warm and protected from winter chill and keeping you in style this season. From fur arms to full on fur coats, there’s a plethora of fur styles to try out this season. Let’s take a look at the most popular fur trends.

Fur Accessories

Fur scarves and shawls keep you warm without becoming overbearing. Shawls like Miu Miu’s and Dries Van Noten’s are ideal for any occasion, from Secret Santa with the family to cocktails with the girls, while Brock Collection’s simple fur scarf protects your neck from the bitter chill of whipping winter winds. Turn heads in Jeremy Scott’s ravishing white fur shawl, made for extravagant dinner parties and VIP sections in exclusive clubs, or go for a walk in the moonlit, snow littered streets in Emporio Armani’s red scarf.

Patterned Fur

Tour an art museum and feel like a part of the collection in Marco de Vincenzo’s landscape fur, or go with a more classic look in Kate Spade New York’s cheetah fur coat. Bottega Veneta’s striped fur is perfect for going to see the orchestra, closing your eyes and enjoying the music that engulfs the room while staying cozy in the coat that envelopes you.
