We've all noticed by now that fur is all over the runways: big shaggy jackets, lush collars and shawls, gauntlets, and even fur boots and bags. But now as sleeves, too? At several shows for fall, arms alone have been covered in thick, shaggy fur. At Aquilano e Rimondi, fur arms gave the classic tweed coat an animalistic makeover, and the huge, fluffy shoulders of fur at Dolce & Gabbana added immense bulk to an otherwise ladylike silhouette. The overall look is more gorilla than chic, and we, for one, would rather our extremities not resemble King Kong. Click ahead to see these and more furry arms.
