As veganism continues to grow in popularity, many people are looking for ways to incorporate the lifestyle into all aspects of their lives, including their wardrobe.
One area where this can be particularly challenging is with winter coats, as many traditional materials such as feathers, leather, and wool are not vegan-friendly. In this article, we will explore why vegans avoid these materials and provide some options for vegan winter coats.
Firstly, for those who aren’t already aware, let’s explore why vegans don’t use feathers, leather, and wool. Feathers are often obtained through cruel practices such as live plucking and force-feeding, which many vegans find unethical. Leather is the skin of an animal, usually cows, which are killed for their skin. Finally, wool is often obtained through shearing practices that can be painful and even harmful to the animals. All of which contribute to unnecessary cruel practices. We won’t go into too many horrific details here but please check out PETA for a more thorough dive into the clothing industry.
Luckily, there are many alternatives to these traditional materials that are both warm and stylish. Here are just five vegan winter coats to consider:
