softwuur Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Greece has a lot of furshops, and that's not because of the low temperatures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furbull Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 and Turkey, but that may be because they have a lot of Russian visitors. I went to Kemer (Antalya) this Summer and counted at least 6 Fur Shops in the nearby town.... they can't all be climbing to the top of Mount Olympios!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see quite some furs around, especially in Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Suisse Romande. Sometimes also worn by younger ladies. Fur hoods and fake furs are also all around. I can't imagine a Swiss blaming you publically for wearing fur. If they dislike it (there are of course some people), Swiss usually won't tell. Of course you have the famous ski resorts St. Moritz and Gstaad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arab princes Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 The St. Moritz's mindset especially in polo week is the correct and only one, any other one is rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to visit there If you're referring to Marcel's post then no, Copenhagen is in Denmark. If you are asking whether or not Swtizerland is a great place to visit, it sounds like it would be but as people have mentioned above, it's region specific. So some places are more fur friendly than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shopping streets (Strøget) in Copenhagen is nothing like it used to be. In the early 80' s I worked in the "expensive end" , and there probably was at least 20 different fur shops within a few hundred yards of shopping street. I did not even know, there were three left, I thought they had all closed or moved? I only remember one from the last time I was there, a little fur shop in Amagertorv. But, great if another two have opened 🙂 Denmark in general is a fur country, I'd say. If the weather is cold, you'll see a lot of furs, including a lot of furs from the 80's. But, the general fashion has changed, now it is a lot of parkas with heavy fur trimming and fur lining. Also, I wear furs out as a man and I've never heard anything but compliments (excepting a few) for my furs, and if I wear my furs to a bar, so many people, both women and men, want to touch my furs or wear them for selfies.

Joe Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Italy in general is pretty cisgender-conforming, meaning most of the "power furs" are still being worn outside by women. But I've seen more garment out and about there, even as recently as last year, when the temperatures were higher than I would generally wear my collection outside in the US. Then again I think it's a question of lifestyle and social environment. It's not just a country itself. I've seen more men in fur in Chicago, Detroit, and New York, but very rarely in everyday working environments like in my 1980s youth. Fur sightings at events like Snow Polo St Moritz in Switzerland, or luxurious ski resorts in Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy or Courchevel in France or even Aspen Colorado USA are predominately because of tourists (some wealthy, some simply fabulous) and not the locals. That said, and I'm sure if you've been to these places you'll concur, the fur crowd are very grateful they have a safe space to flaunt what we enjoy. Honestly, from experience, Black Americans have created the most fur-positive culture that is inclusive of working-class people. Spend enough time on social media and you'll notice. I have met men in fur from Argentina, and Buenos Aires during winter is on my post-pandemia travel list. The trip will be worth the quarantine!
