Why is Fur Fashionable?

Many of you may have noticed that that there is a lot more fur clothing back on the racks of clothes stores despite the efforts of animal rights activists turning up to fashion shows with their cups of blood, or big charity organisations like PETA campaigning and raising awareness against the cruelty of killing for fashion. So why is there a dramatic rise in furry fashion?

Well back in the 2000 fur was all the craze, if you were wearing it you were stylish and therefore cool. All the celebs and social lights had fur and what does the public do? Exactly what the celebs are doing!

The quantity of furry products started to decline when celebrities started to deliberately stop wearing fur to raise awareness and lead by example in the public eye. It was a very effective technique as people stopped buying it and forced stores to stop stocking it.

So what has changed today? Well simply the same thing in reverse. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have been spotted in furry garments. Both with a following of over 80 million Instagram followers they are trend setters and have a huge influence over their fans and the industry. Even though they and many other celebrities are somewhat to blame the fact of the matter is there wouldn’t be murder for fashion if designers and brands stood up and said no to killing for fashion!

 

Fashions greatest mistakes

Fashion isn’t easy, especially when everyone has their own tastes and trends are constantly changing it’s hard to stay in style. However here are some things you can definitely avoid that are big fashion don’ts.

  1. Low rise jeans

 

Low rise jeans may have been cool in the naughty’s but have definitely lost their edge and tad bit too much fabric at the top. The only people that can pull these off are strippers or sorority girls. Ladies go in the opposite direction – high wasted jeans are so in right now and do wonders for your figure!

 

 

  1. Platform trainers and furry boots

 

Let’s start with the platform trainers. We in this day and age have been blessed with the fact that trainers are in style and can liven up pretty much any outfit and most importantly they are comfortable!!! So it baffles me why people would want to complicate things. They look clunky, awkward and well ridicules, not to mention painful. Steer clear of the platform trainers peeps unless you want to look like a spice girl.

 

Now the furry footwear I will simply say this… do you really want your feet to look like they are alive and squeaking? Because I sure don’t!

 

 

3.Double denim

 

Now double denim is a tricky one because when done right it can look awesome and you will be showered with compliments wherever you go. But when done wrong, oh my god it is just so so wrong. First of all, if you wear a done up denim jacket and similar coloured denim jeans you will look like a cowboy from the 1600 or Miley Cyrus’s dad (Billie Ray Cyrus), and trust me people you do not want to be compared to him, people will stare. If you’re going to go for the double denim look try a different colours of denim.
