| Outerwear Article | Fur clothing is clothing made entirely of, or partially of, the fur of animals. Fur is one of the oldest forms of clothing, becoming widely used as primitive humans left Africa and entered cooler regions. Modern cultures continue to wear fur and fur trim, as dictated by fashion trends. Although it was once one of the most common forms of clothing many people consider fur a luxury item. Its continued use is controversial in some societies, such as Western Europe and the United States, on welfare and ethical grounds. The term 'a fur' is often used to refer to a fur coat, wrap, or shawl. |
