I’m a fashion writer and this is the one coat style you need to invest in for Christmas party season…
If you’ve scrolled through any influencer’s Instagram feed in the past month, you’ll have noticed: fluff is back. Faux fur jackets are suddenly everywhere – draped over slip skirts, worn with wide-leg denim and paired with pointed kitten heels for that 1970s Parisian-chic look.
Searches for faux fur are up 333% on fashion platform LTK, and honestly, it makes sense why. After a few winters of minimalist wool and puffers, we’re ready for coats with some personality – tactile, dramatic and plenty warm.
The beauty of a good faux fur? You don’t need to over-style it. For the office, it’s perfect with tailored trousers or jeans, layered over a neutral chunky knit. A fur coat is also a fantastic solution for festive party dressing, because it elevates even the plainest of slinky dresses into a statement look. It’s a timeless look and one that’s bound to make an impact.
The best bit? The high street is packed with stylish, affordable options. M&S’s Faux Fur Single Breasted Longline Coat (£80, was £100) is soft, oversized, and suspiciously expensive-looking; Albaray’s Brown Faux Fur Jacket has a retro, voluminous cut that looks great over tailored trousers or a midi dress; and Zara’s Short Faux Fur Coat is pure party season in wearable form.
Below, we’ve compiled the 11 best faux (yes, please only buy the fake stuff) fur jackets to wear all winter. From fluffy neutrals to cropped teddy styles, here are 11 AW25 hits that’ll leave last year’s puffer in the dust.
