Lately, I’ve felt a magnetic pull towards all things faux fur, and I know I’m not alone.
From fluffy skirts and jumpers to fuzzy statement bags and of course, coats, the allure of something soft and textured has taken over this season. As the trend continues to flood my Instagram feed, I’ve zeroed in on one standout style with a little help from some of my favourite celebrities: the faux-fur trim coat. There’s something undeniably chic about this coat style, and it’s no surprise that A-listers like Suki Waterhouse, Sabrina Carpenter, and Nicole Richie have already made it part of their cold-weather rotation.
Sleek and polished, fur-trim coats are a luxe alternative to the puffers that have reigned supreme in recent years. With a cosy trim that traces the neck of the garment, these coats have a naturally expensive-looking energy. Resembling the look of a real fur coat—which has always come with a very high price tag—these new-season offerings retain the glamour of fur without the great expense nor the ethical questions.
What I love most is that a fur-trim coat makes a statement without being too over-the-top for everyday wear. Whilst I’m captivated by Carpenter’s playful approach, pairing her leopard-trim coat with a miniskirt, I find myself leaning towards Richie’s effortlessly cool styling. This week, she stepped out in a black fur-trim coat with straight-leg jeans, pointed-toe boots and a classic white tee—a look that’s as timeless as it is wearable.
I'm excited to embrace the trend myself, and luckily, there's a plethora of compelling options across both designer and high-street labels. Read on to discover our edit of the best styles.
