A faux fur coat is outerwear made with a synthetic pile, usually polyester, in place of animal fur, and this winter it comes as a full coat, as a warm lining inside a trench and as trim at the collar, hood and hem. You can shop the full category in our edit of faux fur coats for women, with shorter styles in faux fur jackets.
Why faux fur is everywhere this winter
Search interest in faux fur coats peaks every December, and the trend has moved from the big statement coat to faux fur used as detail. Alexander Wang shows it that way this season: a trench lined in faux fur, a cropped leather jacket with a faux fur collar, a hoodie with a faux fur hood and even a leather mini skirt with faux fur trim.

How to wear a faux fur coat
Keep everything under a faux fur coat slim. A full coat already adds volume, so pair it with straight jeans, a fitted knit and a pointed boot. For evening, wear it over a black mini dress with sheer tights. A faux fur trim works the other way round: let it be the only texture in the look and keep the rest of the outfit plain and dark.
Faux fur lining against faux fur trim
A lined coat gives you warmth with a clean outer face, so it reads as a classic trench from a distance and shows the faux fur only at the opening. A trim gives you the look without the bulk, which is why it suits a cropped jacket and a hoodie. If you live somewhere mild, the trim is the more useful buy.
How to care for faux fur
Follow the care label first. In general, brush faux fur gently with a wide comb, keep it away from heat and never iron it. Store the coat on a padded hanger with room around it so the pile does not crush.
Faux fur around the world
In London and New York a faux fur lined trench covers the coldest months. In Dubai, Riyadh and Doha, a faux fur collar on a light jacket is the practical choice for cool winter evenings and air conditioned interiors. In the Alps, pair a faux fur hood with real snow boots, and see our apres ski edit for the rest of the look.
Three ways to wear faux fur
To work
Wear the Faux Fur Lined Oversized Trench Coat in stone, the Double Collar Long Sleeve V-Neck Sweater in light blush and the Crystal Beltloop Mid-Rise Tailored Pant in black. The lining shows only at the opening, so the look stays polished.
Night out
Wear the Faux Fur Trim Padded Cropped Leather Jacket in black, the Tweed Mini Dress in grey and the Tweed High-Rise Micro Mini Skirt in grey. Keep everything else black.
Off duty
Wear the Faux Fur Hood Zip-Up Hoodie in alloy melange, the Balloon Denim Jogger in tinted medium indigo and the Oversized Graphic Cropped Tee in washed black. The hood does the work; the rest stays simple.
