First Prada, Now Zara: Expect Sophisticated Women in Paris, NYC, and Milan to Be Wearing This Micro-Trend in 2026
Find versions from Reformation, Mango, and Helsa, too.
It's not even 2026 yet, but we're already spotting the micro-trends that will be subtly ubiquitous when January finally hits. The signs are all right in front of us, and now is the time to act on them so that when we do enter the new year, we're ready to do so in peak fashion form. Of all the budding silhouettes, colors, and details that are shaping up to define the 365 days ahead, one stands out: fur-collared jackets. We saw them on the runways—at Prada, Marni, and Jil Sander—and as a result, they've made it into our IRL lives, or at least our Instagram feeds, styled by only the most sophisticated of women. So, if full-on faux fur outerwear or even fur-trim pieces like those picking up popularity from Valentino, Helsa, and Rotate are too much for you, take a more understated approach by opting for a fur collar instead.
The key to wearing the fur-collared trend is to let it feel effortless and natural. Pair one with jeans in classic blue or black to make the piece of outerwear appear like any other jacket in your closet, but better. A classic black, gray, or brown pair of trousers will pair back just as elegantly as would a simple black dress or skirt ensemble. Let the switch-up in textures carry your outfit. It will do all the work without you having to lift a finger.
The best part? Before 2026's arrival, Zara released a handful of fur-collared pieces in the form of blazers, long wrap coats, cardigans, bombers, and even denim jackets, all of which are under $250. So, no, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on a fur-collared jacket for the year ahead (that is, unless you want to, to which I commend you, and happily recommend this Prada beauty.)
Ahead, shop the fur-collar trend at Zara, with more versions from other retailers to follow.
