Fur Trend in Fall/Winter 2025-2026: Ethical Textiles Take Center Stage

The Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collections highlight a notable presence of fur, primarily faux, in fashion weeks, especially in Milan and Paris. Designers are using fur to create varied looks, from glamorous styles with long coats to sophisticated bourgeois outfits featuring color-gradient fur coats and pencil skirts. Fur also appears as scarves, tails, pompons, and in casual wear. The comeback is due to improvements in faux fur production, offering textures using recycled polyester and modacrylic. Brands are also using shearling and knitted natural fibers like cashmere, wool, alpaca, and mohair to mimic fur, addressing the demand for ethical and luxurious materials, in line with the quiet luxury trend.
