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’s 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.”

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 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 would find for sure some awesome fur coats, and we were right.

FAQs on Global Street-Style Fur Fashion

1. Are the fur coats seen in street style usually real fur or faux fur?

It’s a mix of both. In colder cities like Moscow and Copenhagen, real fur is more common due to extreme temperatures. In cities like London, Paris, and L.A., many street-style looks feature faux fur for ethical or trend-driven reasons.

2. Which cities are best known for bold fur street style?

Moscow, Milan, and Copenhagen stand out for oversized silhouettes, bright colors, and statement fur pieces. Paris leans toward polished elegance, while New York and London favor versatility and layering.

3. Is street-style fur fashion influenced more by climate or by trends?

Both. Climate determines the type and thickness of fur worn, while fashion trends influence colors, cuts, and how fur is styled with modern outfits.

4. Can street-style fur looks be recreated for everyday wear?

Yes. You can recreate them by choosing shorter jackets, fur-trim accessories, or layering fur over casual outfits like jeans, sneakers, and knitwear for a wearable everyday version.

5. Are fur accessories as popular as full fur coats in street fashion?

Absolutely. Fur collars, scarves, bag charms, and hats are extremely popular because they offer the fur aesthetic without the weight or cost of a full coat.

6. What fur types appear most often in street-style fashion?

Fox, mink, shearling, and raccoon are the most commonly seen in street fashion due to their versatility, warmth, and strong visual impact.

7. Do street-style fur trends usually carry over into mainstream fashion?

Yes. Many runway trends first gain traction through street style, where stylists, influencers, and editors test bold ideas before they reach mass retail.
