If you thought the faux-fur coat trend had peaked last year, think again. Everyone is wearing them. Something that I love about them (of many things) is how accessible they are. I've seen great options at around $100. Something else that I love is that when you're wearing a faux-fur coat, you don't need much else to make your outfit look cool and special—it is the outfit. That said, they've been a thing for a while, and there are ways to make them look fresh (aka more 2026).

As with many winter coats, the go-to pairing year after year has been skinny jeans and ankle boots with a faux fur. That combination is all well and good, but I'm finding that the most well-dressed among us are shifting away from that somewhat dated combination and finding more unexpected ways to style them. The seven items below, in particular, will continue to be very popular pairings for faux-fur coats in the new year, and I'm here to tell you exactly why. Keep scrolling to find out and to shop the items, plus some of my favorite faux-fur coats right now.

Belts

If you want your faux-fur coat outfit to look more 2026, just cinch it with a leather belt. Case in point, pictured below.

Light-Wash Jeans

Light-wash jeans are back, and the contrast of the low-key denim wash works especially well with the much flashier faux fur.

Corduroy pants—especially baggy one—plus faux fur is the perfect cozy winter outfit combination. You'll look cool and elegant while staying warm.

Loafers

I know someone is a fashion person when I see them wearing the grandma-chic combination of a faux-fur coat and loafers.

Suede Bags

There's something about the ruggedness of suede that grounds a faux-fur coat. It makes the "fancy" outerwear staple a bit more casual and daytime-appropriate.

Flares

Nothing against skinny jeans, but flares are just a fresher complement to faux-fur coats. They match the '70s vibe of faux fur to a T.
