A fur trim cardigan adds a fur collar, cuffs and placket to a cashmere knit, so it is warm enough to wear as a light jacket and soft at the neck. This winter the trims run from detachable fur collars to rex fur panels and shearling. N.Peal makes the widest range we carry, across cardigans, gilets and hoodies, in the N.Peal edit.
Fur collar cardigans
The Hannah Fur Collar Cashmere Cardigan in Navy Blue has a fur-trimmed collar on organic cashmere. The Honeycomb Fur Trim Cashmere Cardigan in Navy Blue has a detachable fur collar, so it works without it in autumn. The Myla Fur Collar Cashmere Cardigan in Pebble Grey pairs a cable knit with a snow grey fur collar.
Rex fur trims
Rex fur is short, dense and velvety. The Ruby Herringbone Fur Cardigan in Wood Smoke Brown has a rex fur trim on herringbone cashmere, and the Lola Fur Placket Cashmere Gilet in Pebble Grey runs it down the placket.
Fur trim gilets
A gilet keeps the arms free under a coat. Choose the Honeycomb Cashmere Gilet With Fur Trim in Pebble Grey in honeycomb cashmere, the Reversible Fur Gilet in Natural Brown, which reverses to fur, and the Cashmere Shearling Gilet in Cashew Brown with shearling.
Fur trim hoodies and jumpers
For the chalet, the Honeycomb Fur Trim Cashmere Hoodie in Navy Blue and the Honeycomb Full Zip Cashmere Jumper With Fur Trim in Navy Blue, with fur inside the stand collar.
How to wear fur trim
- Keep the rest plain: straight trousers and a fine roll neck.
- Match the fur to the knit for a softer look.
- Remove a detachable collar for the office.
Caring for fur trims
Fur-trimmed knitwear is dry clean only. Brush the fur gently, keep it away from rain and store it with space around it so the fur does not flatten.
Fur, rex fur, shearling and faux fur
| Trim | What it is | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Fur | Natural fur collars and cuffs | Long, soft pile |
| Rex fur | Fur with a short, even pile | Velvety, dense |
| Shearling | Sheepskin with the wool left on | Curly, warm |
| Faux fur and faux mink | Synthetic fibres made to look like fur | Soft, lighter |
Each product page lists the composition, so you can check before you buy.
Detachable collars
A detachable fur collar makes one cardigan do two jobs: plain in autumn, collared in winter. Remove the collar before washing the knit, then dry clean the collar separately.
Fur trim for the slopes
Fur-trimmed hoodies and gilets are ski chalet staples, worn over a thermal and under a down jacket. See our cashmere lounge sets for the matching trousers.
Fur trim outerwear
For more coverage, N.Peal also trims its outerwear: the Longline City Coat With Fur Trim in Camel Brown and the Fur Collar Field Jacket in Beige Brown carry fur collars over woven wool and cashmere. Shop more in coats and jackets.
