Think fur collars and lapels rather than an all-over, floor-length fur coat. Ideal for party season or adding a luxurious touch to your formal wear, Esquire has already applauded the frequent use of fur on collars at New York Fashion Week, while Shortlist magazine championed the return of the iconic khaki parka jacket, complete with its fur-trimmed hood and shearling lining – both publications supporting the ‘less is more’ line of thinking.

Key Pieces

As this is an advanced trend report, there is currently very little available online (other than expensive high fashion pieces).

However, with faux fur garments making their way into the latest campaigns from the likes of River Island, House Of Fraser, Whistles, Reiss and Zara, it’s clear to see that by the time winter rolls around there will be plenty more affordable options available on the high street:

• Zara Hooded Coat With Toggles
• Zara Padded Denim Jacket
• Zara Hooded Duffle Coat
• Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren Parka With Down Fill
• Superdry Aviator Bomber With Faux Fur Collar
• Schott Air Fur Collar Mens Jacket
• Canada Goose Chilliwack Coyote-trimmed Down-filled Bomber Jacket
• Dave Water Resistant Bomber Jacket With Removable Rabbit Fur Collar
• Sacai Furry Patch Bomber Jacket
• Pu Bomber With Sherpa Collar
• Ted Baker Amorie Down Hooded Coat
• River Island Tan Two-tone Padded Jacket
• River Island Black Faux Fur Trim Parka
• River Island Khaki Bellfield Fur Trim Parka
• Lanvin Fur-collar Bomber Jacket 205610
• Harrods Of London Mink Collar Coat
• Zara Hooded Jacket
• Burberry London Faux Fur Trimmed Collar Double Breasted Coat

Final Word

Fur will forever remain a contentious trend, but hopefully the fact that it is being interpreted in new ways will work in its favour. As GQ wittily claim on the subject of the resurrection of fur in menswear, there is a current “re-fur-gence”.
