It is commonly understood that a correctly worn “key” fur article can immediately bump up the luxe factor of any look. And with menswear, simpler lines and well-chosen colors not only heighten and harmonize the masculine message, they help create a stylish masculine mystique. So, this season, fur is incorporating this wisdom and is raising the bar in men’s wardrobes with strong, sexy, ruggedly handsome options.

When it comes to men and fur fashion, shearling is still the common denominator; though, now, the fur/wool side is out in the open and a broader array of shearlings are being offered. The classic touch of astrakhan lamb has become popular as are other lamb/goat furs. But nowadays, beaver and mink, even rabbit and muskrat, are becoming must-have fashion looks for men.
