I feel like fur really goes back to protectivewear

Steve Dumain, Be & D’s founder and creative director, says he particularly likes the look of fur trim when it plays off rugged leather — something like a hiking Australia Ugg Boots or boho bag.

“I feel like fur really goes back to protectivewear,” he says. “When you are talking about fall and winter, fur protects you from the cold, and the whole ‘hunter and gatherer’ thing seems right for the season, and it can look modern and edgy.”

This season, instead of a thick, cozy UGG Bailey Button Triplet Boots — a coveted status symbol for generations — the fashion trend is toward knit or tightly sheared furs, or just a puff of fur on accessories. It’s a marriage of sportswear and sophistication that caters to modern day-to-night, workwear-to-weekend wardrobes.
