Faux-Fur Coats are Cosy, Chic and Trending Hard Right Now

last updated 21 November 2024

Real fur has been off the fashion agenda for some time now, but the friendlier faux version is truly finding its footing this season.

Undeniably opulent, a faux-fur coat toes the line between comfort and elegance, and if done right, it delivers a resoundingly expensive-looking vibe and will keep you looking put-together and cosy all winter long. Channelling Old Hollywood glamour, the style set began integrating faux-fur coats into their outerwear rotations late last year, styling them with sleek leggings and knee-high boots, super-short minis or their favourite pair of jeans, for any and all occasions.

Extending into celebrity circles, the faux-fur coat trend has seen huge popularity amongst A-listers this season. Spotted on Charli XCX who styled a fluffy leopard-print version with a tasselled miniskirt and knee-high boots, the singer put a party-ready spin on the elegant coat trend, creating a look I think we'll be seeing a lot more of as we move further into the festive season.

Across the market, high-street and designer brands have offered up plush, fluffy styles in lengths from cropped jackets to floor-grazing styles that are guaranteed to make you look rich, even if you opt for a more affordable pick. From Zara's brooch-embellished faux-fur jacket to H&M's ultra-fuzzy style, there are plenty of brilliant faux-fur coats to choose from this winter.

So, if you're interested in shopping the season's snuggliest outerwear trend, read on to discover our edit of the best faux-fur coats.
