Say what you will about the gross parts of winter, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and declare that the chapped lips and dry skin are worth it if it means getting to wear fun coats that are as chic as they are cozy. From scarf coats to capes, winter has brought on some of the best outwear trends, making going out in the cold front *slightly* more enjoyable. What’s flooding my TikTok algorithm now? Faux-fur coats, that even have PureWow’s Fashion Editor Abby Hepworth’s stamp of approval. She says, “I adore faux-fur coats for winter. They're just so fun, whether you opt for a realistic-looking pattern or a candy-colored faux. And who doesn't love a dose of dopamine dressing when the weather is dark, cold and miserable come mid-winter? They're also often surprisingly warm, making them a practical choice as well.”
Along with a cosign from one of our resident fashion gurus, this winter trend has also been spotted on several A-list celebs in the past few weeks—Hailey Bieber, in particular. The Rhode founder was seen strutting around Aspen in some serious faux-fur coats that could rival even the trendiest mob wife. And the coats in question? For a weekend at the slopes, the star sported a fluffy brown faux mink from Ralph Lauren’s fall 1995 collection, Vogue reports. But it doesn’t just stop there. Days later, Bieber was seen in a large, shaggy black and white topper, fresh from Ferragamo's resort 2025 collection. Whew.
So, whether you’re going for an après ski look or channeling your inner Carmela Soprano, here, 15 of the best faux-fur coats I’m currently obsessing over—and you will be too.
