For those of you that feel wearing fur is out because of the cruelty to animals stigma, faux fur (fake fur) is definitely in! Fur looks inviting on lots of garments (sweaters, tops, purses, belts), but there is no denying that fur coats and jackets are all the rage and take center stage in fashion.
Faux fur or synthetic fur has been commercially available since the 1950s and has increased in popularity due to animal rights and welfare organizations. Faux fur truly is an animal-friendly alternative to traditional real fur clothing. Fashion designers now incorporate fake fur jackets instead of actual fur into their clothing collections and display their designs on catwalks and runways around the world.
Faux fur jackets or coats with segments of fur (as in framing a hood) come in many popular types, including blazers, boleros, bomber jackets, dinner jackets, fleece jackets, leather jackets, Nehru jackets, raincoats, sports coats, and waistcoats. Faux fur jackets look elegant and regal when you are attending a fancy evening event, such as a black tie party or the opera. Turn heads in faux fur looking like a true diva fashion girl. For a look of pure royalty, wrap yourself in a fake fur jacket that ends mid-calf or drapes to the floor. Style galore!
Benefits of fake fur over real fur are many:
- It is a synthetic fabric and is easy to sew.
- It doesn’t require cold storage to prevent deterioration that real fur demands.
- It isn’t an animal-based product.
- It doesn’t require or encourage the breeding of animals in factory farms.
- It is much more affordable than real fur.
