Trends in faux fur coats for the 2020-2021 season
The main trend of 2021 is environmental friendliness and conscious consumption of nature's gifts. Moreover, it affected not only food and some aspects of everyday life, but also affected the trends of the fashion industry. Can faux fur compete with natural fur? What are its advantages? Let's figure it out together.
The basis of faux fur is acrylic polymer - a complex component with an intricate composition. In fact, it is ordinary plastic, which naturally decomposes over several decades. In the process of processing such raw materials, a huge amount of waste is generated that has a negative impact on the environment. The harm from such technologies is hundreds of times greater than from the production of natural fur. So the environmental friendliness of artificial products is a big question.
By the way, the Max Mara brand has come up with an unusual way to create natural fur coats without harming living beings. The essence of the technology is that the animal’s hair is carefully cut off and attached to the material using glue. Then outerwear is sewn from the resulting fabric.
If we talk about the advantages of artificial products, it is worth noting the following points:
- Low price tag compared to natural fur coats. There is no need to spend enormous sums on purchasing stylish outerwear.
- A wide range of. Faux fur is not a copy of natural fur, but an independent material. It differs in texture, pattern, length - this is the main value and uniqueness of such products.
- They do not require such careful care. In a faux fur coat, you can safely walk in the rain, ride the subway, or wash it in the machine. The material will not climb and abrasions will not appear. Of course, if you think about the long term, real fur is more durable.
One of the main disadvantages of faux fur products is their tendency to electrify. The material magnetically attracts dust and various debris, so be prepared for the fact that the fur coat will have to be washed frequently.
Original cut
If you strive to be exclusive and original, take a closer look at non-standard models of faux fur coats. For example, at world fashion shows models were presented that looked like a men's shirt and even a blouse with straps. There was an option that imitated a fur sweatshirt.

When wearing a faux fur coat with an original cut, be sure to complement it with bold and stylish accessories. Looking shocking is a delicate matter.
Remember that faux fur today looks practically no different from natural fur. The ideal technology of its manufacture allows you to make the product light and practical to wear. The only rule for caring for an artificial fur coat is to use dry cleaning services. You should not wash or clean faux fur yourself.
Having dealt with fashion trends, all you have to do is choose the fashionable color of an artificial fur coat for 2020-2021 and enjoy the product to your heart’s content.

What kind of fur is used for sewing artificial fur coats?
Depending on the technique used to create artificial fur coats, the product differs in appearance and cost:
- Double-sheet and woven. The fur is located between two pieces of fabric. The pile is attached from the bottom and top using the three-strand method. Then, using a special knife, the fur is cut, resulting in two finished fabrics. Sometimes manufacturers apply an adhesive substance to the main fabric, this helps to secure the pile more firmly and eliminates the risk of its excessive loss.
- Knitted. For the production of fur, flat knitting and circular knitting machines are used. The pile is woven into knitwear in bunches or knitted into loops, which are subsequently cut to form a fluffy base. To secure fur to knitwear, a unique substance is used that makes the material waterproof.
- Tufted. Using a special machine, the ground fabric is stitched with fur to form loops. Then they are cut, obtaining a dense pile. The final step in creating such matter is to smooth out the fur and comb it out.
- Glued. Artificial pile is glued to the fabric. To create such material, fur curled in a special way (chenille) is used.
Calico or calico is usually used as the base on which the artificial pile is attached. The fur itself is created from lavsan, nylon or nitron. To imitate the structure of natural fur, designers use fabrics that give varying degrees of shrinkage. After heat treatment, such matter forms a complex structure, where, if desired, you can see the underarms and axial hairs. Of course, such models will have a high price tag. Their cost is slightly lower than that of natural fur coats.
How to choose and care for a faux fur coat
If you want to wear a faux fur coat for several seasons, you need to choose the product carefully. Otherwise, it will delight you with its aesthetics for 1-2 months, and then it will become unusable.
High-quality pile should be soft and elastic. It holds tightly to the base and does not fall out at the slightest mechanical impact. In any case, a high-quality product will not have a low cost.
