I’d rather wear fur than go naked

I love fur. There! I said it. I love animals and do not condone killing them just for their skin. However I do have a soft spot for VINTAGE fur, they look fabulous on and they keep us glamorously warm. Below are a few stylish women who wear their pelts well.

tights underneath

I adore her cherry peep-toes and black culottes. Can you see her unusual stockings? How cute! I’m not quite sure about the headscarf though…

that's a lot of fur

This is my favourite look and one I cannot wait to sport. Her vintage fur coat is just divine, the rolled-up sleeves gives her oodles of street cred. I love her voluminous mini and the ruched gloves. She looks like rock royalty.

A gentler take on fur: very fond of her yellow sleeves, colourful skirt and ankle boots. I bet every girl walking past her wished they could raid her wardrobe.

great dress n legs

Hot or what?! Definitely a darling of fashion. This girl’s queen of hearts dress is so bright and quirky. She has awesome pins, those lace-up boots are Fall’s must-have. The fur vest look somewhat like hair extensions though….

foxy collar

It is the same girl from Photo2! This time wearing a foxy neckpiece, who needs a scarf? She is literally head to toe in brown! And she is wearing peep-toe-booties! Very sweet.

black n furry

This is a very unusual take on black and white. Here we have an outfit composed of cotton and fur, a look of curly locks and straight lines. I love women who look effortlessly chic.

all furrySmile for the camera! This lady in black sure knows how to balance proportions. Thumbs-up for the furry epaulettes on her shoulders. Is that a Chanel quilted bag she’s clutching?

Honestly the way they treat most of our food production animals, animals killed for fur probably had a better life.

I am unsure if they had a better life but at least they are remembered for their beauty..which lasts longer than a meal

haha love this post! I’m not going to argue with you, I feel the same. It just looks too good not to wear. I love and adore my vintage fur jacket and vest and wouldn’t stop wearing them for anyone :))

I know what you mean. I am a vet for crying out loud! But I adore vintage fur, I just have to be selective about where I wear them to =P I tend to wear my fur vest more- it’s less ‘offensive’ to people for some reason.

I rather wear a fur coat than have an hamburger.
Lovely pictures btw.

I know! There’s not many protesting about the amount of meat we consume, only about the hide. At least we treasure the fur!

Hmmmm I’m quite sure that animals in the fur industry are treated much more cruelly than those in the meat producing industry (not to say they have great lives tho!). I guess vintage fur is ok though…..

Apparently the only person who cares September 28, 2009 at 7:34 am

The way that animals are treated and sorry if this is offensive to you but if you say that you don’t care that those animals are being tortured and you won’t stop wearing fur for anybody then you are no different then Hitler, he beleved that the jews, pole’s, homosexuals etc. were all races below his and that is exactly what almost every post has been saying. personally i don’t believe that, i believe that animals are living beings which (and hey NEWS FLASH they are), deserve to be treated as such. Honestly, you people disgust me.

Come on “Apparently.” I think you know it’s a little silly to say that people who wear fur are no different than Hitler. For one thing, Hitler’s goal was to eradicate all Jewish people in the world, and I doubt any of these people are trying to eradicate all rabbits, foxes, and minks.

More importantly, telling people they are just like Hitler and that they disgust you doesn’t help your cause. All it does is alienate them and make you feel self-righteous.

Obviously not wearing fur is something that you (and a lot of other people) feel very strongly about, and I’m sure you have a lot of great reasons for your opinion. If you actually want to make a difference, maybe you could have taken this as an opportunity to give people some information that supports your opinion. Think more Martin Luther King Jr.
