How to Style a Faux Fur Jacket
Faux Fur jackets are a fun way to look chic and stay cozy this fall, and to everyone’s surprise, they keep getting better and better. Here are 4 stylish faux fur jackets that are more exciting than the real thing, along with some styling tips.
Why Wear a Faux Fur Jacket? – 4 Good Reasons
1. Faux Fur Coats are Modern
Whether it’s a Mink, Fox, Beaver, or Cougar, a fur coat used to be the ultimate status symbol, but wear one now, and you’ll look insensitive and out of touch, as if you’re trapped in a time warp. That’s because a growing number of designers, such as Stella McCartney and Versace, have adopted cruelty-free and eco-fashion approaches, reducing or eliminating fur from their collections.
Faux fur is a progressive material that conveys a youthful message about the wearer. Novelty colors, textures, and proportions give a light-hearted lift to this season’s faux fur coats. Feel free to pair one with something casual or dressy. Colored faux fur adds a fashion-forward vibe to your outfit, looking exciting and dramatic, especially when paired with black.
2. The Selection is Huge
Until now, there has been considerable hesitation to embrace faux fur jackets due to their appearance and texture. Many were poorly made from cheap fabrics, and the selection was limited. You could say most looked tacky, like a hairy bathmat or an Oscar the Grouch costume.
How things have changed! Thanks to advancements in fabrication and a range of new modern styles and colors, fall’s new faux fur coats look richer and more luxurious, but they are also fun! Some are meant to resemble fur knockoffs, but the majority are simply more fashionably inspired by fur. In other words, more creatively looking. Whether you go for a glam faux leopard jacket or something more shaggy and hairy, there’s never been a better selection of faux fur jackets out there than now.
3. Faux Fur Jackets are Practical
If you’re looking for a jacket that feels comfortable and keeps you warm, consider a faux fur jacket. This season’s faux fur jackets are not just attention grabbers. They often have the same level of softness, quality, and warmth as real fur. Whether you choose something like this sumptuous oversized faux mink moto jacket or a fuzzy teddy bear car coat, this season’s faux fur jackets will keep you warmer and more snuggly than ever before.
4. Faux Fur Jackets Add a Shot of Texture and Interest
If you’ve never been into fur and a faux fur coat doesn’t appeal to you either, consider incorporating a touch of faux fur to add texture and interest to your outfit. This polished-looking tweed coat with the faux fur trim is a great example. The fur collar is a beautiful way to frame your face and add interest and dimension to a classic jacket. And the collar is detachable, too! Worn with jeans and high-suede boots, this is one sporty-chic look!
