If you’ve taken the time to browse the new in section of any of your favourite brands in recent months, I’m sure you’ll agree that this year, it feels like coat trends have really kicked it up a notch. From supersized puffer jackets to Mongolian shearling styles, this season's best coats are serving so much more than just practicality and, given the freezing cold temperatures that are set to take hold once again, that’s great news for anyone who doesn’t want to be left shivering thanks to their style choices.
While there are so many excellent coat styles to choose from this year, I’m about to make the decision even harder for you, as I’m throwing another must-have coat into the mix and let me tell you: this one is really, really good. Bridging the gap between nostalgic vintage inspired styling and the old money aesthetic, faux fur coats have stepped into the spotlight once again and this season they’re so luxurious, you could easily mistake them for the real thing.
The key to bringing the faux fur coat into 2025, is to not look like you have. Instead, you want to opt for styles that could pass for much-loved family heirlooms or have been hanging around in your wardrobe many years prior - even if you happened to add it to your basket just last week.
Thankfully, the designers have got you covered. At Miu Miu and Prada, Miuccia Prada paid homage to vintage designs of the past opting for rich camel and chocolate brown tones for her fuzzy faux fur offering while, at outerwear brand Nour Hammour, floor length maxi styles in soft shine finishes offer a guilt-free nod to vintage minks. So, if like me, you’re not lucky enough to have a vintage faux fur hanging in your wardrobe, keep scrolling for the full edit of the next best thing, this season's best faux fur coats…
