All Fur Love: Shopping Winter’s Top Trend in NYC

Fur is undoubtedly one of the key looks of fashion’s winter season. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and incarnations. Choosing between faux or real is almost beside the point these days, as top designers are offering compelling ready-to-wear that features both options. New York of course has the latest looks, with both downtown and uptown boutiques at the ready.

Fur has been a go-to warming agent since prehistoric times, but the moment fur truly became a bona fide fashion thing dates to 1965, when Karl Lagerfeld came up with the moniker “Fun Fur” to describe Fendi’s famed fur atelier. The corresponding double F logo remains a permanent part of the brand, and Lagerfeld’s approach to mixing fur with everyday wear is as relevant and timely as ever.

New York has a fur for everyone, from all-consuming, colorful coats to utterly cozy capes with fluffy accents. For the best of fur this season in NYC, browse our list of the tops stops for favorite, shoppable pieces. Staying warm has never looked chicer.

1.) Since the 1920s, Yves Salomon has been a purveyor of some of the finest furs in the world. This season, the Parisian-based fashion house has fashioned rabbit fur into a gorgeous, high-collar coat in a dashing navy hue. The coat’s velvety texture will make it (almost) impossible to take off.

2.) Faux fur goes positively glam on Shrimps’ striped coat. The London brand is known for its cheeky style, and the Bobbin coat is no exception. The mustard-yellow hue offers a touch of ’60s flair, and the satin lining will make this piece infinitely easy to slip on.

3.) Belstaff was founded in England nearly a century ago, and has since outfitted everyone from Amelia Earhart to Sarah Jessica Parker. It’s no wonder, considering their pieces are simultaneously wearable and incredibly refined. The Corra jacket is a lovely mid-length coat featuring patchwork panels of kalgan fur and suede.

4.) Ever since Stuart Vevers took the reigns as creative director at Coach, he has infused the brand with a fresh viewpoint and in the process created some seriously coveted designs. His reworked moto-jacket has a classic leather body, but utilizes sheepskin sleeves for just the right amount of a stylish something extra.
