Coat trends may come and go but faux fur is forever.
You can guarantee that year after year it’s the cosy, fluffy constructions that will form the basis for our cold weather wears. As temperatures plummet, it becomes more and more appealing to reach for the outerwear that is going to cocoon us in cuddly comfort.
As fashion has made the move to more sustainable and animal-friendly practices, our favourite labels are opting for pelts of the pretend nature, abandoning animal by-products in favour of more ethical designs.
These faux fur styles are more prevalent than ever from the high street to the high end in punchy colourways and patterns that will transform your outerwear collection into the realms of dopamine dressing.
That is not to say that the minimalists are in any way unrepresented as the classic and reliable muted hues are still as popular as ever with timeless pieces that will form the basis of your winter wardrobe for years to come. How’s that for sustainability?

Superdry Faux Fur Lined Longline Afghan Coat
For Superdry’s take on the flower power-esque lined afgan coat, we recommend that you go a size up as the faux fur design adds warmth but if you want to layer it over jumpers, you will need a bit more room than your typical. The label nails the bohemian vintage appeal where you’ll be sure to cue the compliments. It’s a faux sheepskin that is set in the lining, at the cuffs and around the trim, adding a luxury twist to the corduroy construction.
