Jackets with fur - what's in fashion now?
In this fashion season, the fur trim of the jacket is almost the most important trend. Designers provide many options for styles of jackets with fur trim. The length does not matter, both long and short jackets will be equally relevant, but some fashion houses still offer to wear jackets no lower than mid-thigh.

Faux fur imitates animal fur. The pile can be made solid or multi-color, it can imitate the natural color of animal fur, or any pattern can be made on it.
The main advantages of artificial fur are known to everyone - it is cheaper than natural fur, and animals are not killed in the manufacture of artificial fur, which is a big plus for opponents of killing animals for the sake of fur. Faux fur is lighter, things from it are not touched by moths. But it quickly shrinks, falls off, pellets form, which negatively affects the appearance of the thing.
