Babe, it’s cold outside. There is no more suitable weather than this to wear your fur coat and make a statement, especially this winter (2016-2017) which brought many colder-than-average temperatures. Fur coats are a timeless and elegant look for the winter season. This year is undoubtedly the year of fur, and we realized it when big fashion houses like Fendi, Gucci, Valentino, and Versace gave us the message with their last year collections. Fur was the main attraction of fashion week during Autumn/Winter Ready to Wear shows in the 4 capitals of fashion, but it wasn’t just this, fur is everywhere. Here are some awesome fur styles we found on the streets of several fashion capitals.
London..
It is London’s whipping winds that make editors, models, buyers, and stylists wear their weather-appropriate A-game.
People in London are dealing with high winter and you think, how do they look stylish when they’ve gotta put all these layers on, and carry an umbrella, and wear a pair of rubber shoes, and all that stuff? You’re seeing them at their worst, and that’s when style really comes through. London is really the sartorial superstar of it all. It permeates into the culture, in a very pure form.”
New York…
You would be hard-pressed to find a ”bad-dressed” New Yorker, and with the big chill that remains for months in that city, you will be able to see some really outstanding fur coats and accessories. Check here for more fur styles from the New York fashion week 2016/2017 ready-to-wear collection.
Paris.
Being dressed like a Parisian is the timeless and ultimate sartorial goal. But accomplishing it seems a mystery. If one thing’s for sure, there’s a lot more to it than facetiously throwing on a beret. So how do they do it?
Milan
Shopping in Milan is a spectator sport – the city’s manicured streets are a catwalk where the fearless and bold strut, showcasing trends that are mere minutes old and keeping many a street-style blog in business. It is the sartorial hub of Europe, and here you will find the most unexpected fur street styles you will ever see.
Copenhagen
Something is happening in Copenhagen, lately, everyone is talking about the style in the city, there’s a real sense of humor to the way they dress there
A crew of fashion influencers is helping put their country back on the design map.
The story of how Copenhagen became the surprise star began with a coat. Specifically, the Febbe: a teddy-brown shearling number with pastel panels, designed by a young duo called Barbara Potts and Cathrine Saks. Playful and unexpected, the piece leaped out at the street-style photographers looking for standouts in a sea of black and gray. Since then the coat’s designers (age 22 and 23, respectively, and both still in college) have become firm fashion industry favorites.

Moscow
When the winter came around, is time to call in the professionals, those who know how to take a temperature drop and keep on going, those who thrive in a famously unfriendly climate—the Russians. Faced with temperatures that sometimes reach below -55 degrees, Russia is well aware that staying warm is a life-saving necessity. To have a better view of how to dress for the big chill, we search for street-style stars, models, and other fashionable Muscovites on how they combat the frost stylishly. Staying warm and classy in winter? We’ll toast a vodka shot to that any day.
Moscow is the place where creativity meets serious necessities and this great mix created the famous ushanka fur hats, beautiful turtlenecks (really a classy way to stay warm ), oversized fur coats, mittens, pavloposadsky shawls, and many more. A huge city with great imagination and A-lister designers and fashion icons, Ulyann Sergeenko, Natasha Goldenberg, Daria Strokous, and Lena Perminova are the top of the iceberg (literally) of a place that has a lot to give in world fashion.
L.A.
Do you think you know which is the most fashionable city in the US? Let me guess, it’s New York, right? In fact, Trulia (an online real estate site for home buyers, sellers, and renters) has compiled data on the most fashionable cities in America, and the results definitely surprised you.
Trulia created a “fashion-conscious index” to rank cities based on 2 things: the number of fashion businesses in each city and the percentage of “fashion-conscious households” in the sample, which they defined as households that contained typical fashion accessories. (The most coveted celebrity closets were identified as Kendall Jenner, Chrissy Teigen, and Kim Kardashian—in that order.
And the winner is Los Angeles, California. We thought that in the city with the most lavish Garderobes in the world will find for sure some awesome fur coats, and we were right.
