Faux Fur Hoodies and Jackets for Apres

A faux fur hoodie is a cropped, hooded jacket in plush synthetic fur, and it has become the go-to apres-ski layer because it is warm, light and looks finished over a ski sweater and flare pants. For winter 2026/27 the reference piece is the Perfect Moment Faux Fur Hoodie, made in Italy in Brown, Snow White and Black, alongside the Giorgia cropped jacket and Celia gilet from the same Perfect Moment collection. Browse them in our women’s jackets edit, and for full looks see our apres-ski outfit guide.

Why Faux Fur Works for Apres

Apres is a strange dress code. You are often still in ski pants and boots, sitting outside as the sun drops, and you want to look like you made an effort. A ski shell does not do that, and a heavy wool coat is too long and too formal. A cropped faux fur jacket sits in between: it is warm, it shows off the high waist of a flare ski pant and it reads as a deliberate apres look straight away.

It also travels well beyond the mountain. Perfect Moment describes its hoodie as a versatile layer “from the city to apres-ski”, and in practice it works over jeans in town as well as it does over ski pants on a terrace. The style has a particularly strong following in Germany and Switzerland, where faux fur hoodie is one of the most searched English-language ski fashion terms.

The Perfect Moment Faux Fur Edit

Faux Fur Hoodie

The signature piece. The cut is cropped and oversized, so it sits over a chunky knit without strain, and the large hood is generous enough to pull up over a beanie. The hook and eye closure keeps the front clean, the flared cuffs echo the brand’s flared ski pants, and the star logo across the back is the brand’s calling card. Choose the Faux Fur Hoodie in Snow White for a bright, snowy look, the Brown for warmth against cream knits, and the Faux Fur Hoodie in Black for evenings.

Giorgia Faux Fur Cropped Jacket

The Giorgia Faux Fur Cropped Jacket in Black is the sleeker option, without a hood. It is cropped and slightly oversized, with lightweight sheet insulation, a popper front, two popper pockets and elasticated virgin wool cuffs that keep wind out at the wrist. Perfect Moment pitches it for wear from the city to the mountains, and it is the better choice if you want a faux fur jacket for dinner rather than the terrace.

Celia Faux Fur Down Gilet

The Celia Faux Fur Down Gilet in Brown combines faux fur with real warmth: it is filled with 700-fill-power down and has a relaxed silhouette and a hood. Without sleeves, it layers over a sweater in town and under a long coat on a cold evening. It also comes in Snow White.

Which Faux Fur Piece Should You Choose?

How to Style a Faux Fur Hoodie

Straight off the slopes

Keep your ski pants and swap the shell for the hoodie. A black flared ski pant such as the High-Waist Aurora Flare Ski Pant in Black is the classic base, because the cropped hem shows the high waist. Under the hoodie, wear a slim knit with a pattern, such as a star intarsia sweater.

Tonal and soft

Snow White hoodie, a cream cable knit and white ski pants. Tonal dressing photographs well against snow. Add one darker accessory so the look does not wash out.

Town day

Brown hoodie, a fine turtleneck, straight jeans and snow boots with a rubber sole. This is the outfit for coffee, shopping and a walk round the village. Our guide to what to wear in St. Moritz has more town looks for the Swiss resorts.

Evening

Black hoodie, a black knit bodysuit and wide trousers. Keep it monochrome and let the texture do the work.

Peer Picks

For a ski-ready alternative, Bogner’s Kela Faux Fur Ski Jacket in Black takes faux fur onto the slopes, and it also comes in a bold Neon Pink. Browse the full Bogner collection for more. For a softer, fleece texture, Mackage’s Anaya Sherpa Fleece Down Jacket in Cream pairs sherpa with down. If you prefer real fur trims, our Yves Salomon apres-ski looks cover the fur side of the story.

How to Care for Faux Fur

Always follow the label first. On the Perfect Moment pieces it reads: do not wash, do not bleach, do not iron and do not tumble dry. The labels differ on dry cleaning: the Black hoodie and the Giorgia jacket say gentle dry clean only, while the Brown and Snow White hoodies and the Celia gilet say do not dry clean. Check yours before you take it anywhere.

• Spot clean gently. Dab marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let the area dry naturally. Do not rub hard.
• Shake it out. After wear, give the jacket a shake and let it air on a hanger before you put it away.
• Brush lightly. If the fibres start to flatten, a soft brush used in the direction of the pile lifts them again.
• Keep it away from heat. Do not dry it on a radiator, near a fire and with a hairdryer, because heat can damage synthetic fibres.
• Store it with space. Hang it on a wide hanger in a breathable garment bag, not squashed in a full wardrobe.
