16 Of The Best Faux Fur Coats And Jackets To Shop Now
The colder months have officially arrived. But if the prospect of plummeting temperatures and early sunsets is getting you down, it's time to seek solace in the ultimate sartorial antidote: a faux fur coat. The undisputed queen of all winter coats, the faux fur not only allows you to brave the cold with strokable cosiness, but also to amp up the glamour of any look.
Whether it's a shaggy shearling jacket or a full-length, floor-sweeping coat, a faux fur piece brings timeless appeal and a welcome touch of drama to your winter wardrobe. And while they're a great finishing touch for your latest party look, there's also something to be said for throwing them on atop the most unassuming of outfits – why not use one to update your time-honoured T-shirt and jeans in one easy move?

With so many brands denouncing real fur – from pioneers like Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood to Kering, parent company of luxury retailers like Gucci and Bottega Veneta – the catwalks have been celebrating synthetic alternatives for a while now. The AW24 runways were awash with faux fluff and fur; there were voluminous jackets paired with sky-high hemlines and knee-high boots at Hedi Slimane's Sixties-inspired Celine show, shaggy floor-skimmers paired with partywear at Balmain, and some ultra-covetable faux on show on Chloé's nouvelle bohème catwalk.
It's clear that the faux fur coat, in all its glamorous iterations, is a foolproof investment this year, and the triple A-list have taken note. Charli XCX recently showed just how chic brat can be by styling a cropped coat from Unreal Fur over a dark grey tank top, while Hailey Bieber (a longstanding fan of the trend) opted for a fur-trimmed Penny Lane-style jacket for her 28th birthday look – with nothing but a mini skirt underneath, we might add.
There's no time to waste if you're looking to bag a faux to love for years to come; over on Net-A-Porter, customer searches for faux fur jackets have increased by 140% in the last month – and the good ones are selling fast.
Read on for the best faux fur coats and jackets to buy now, from high street heroes to glorious investment pieces.

Arket Faux Fur Coat
Calf length, fabulously fluffy and finished with a metal-clip fastening, Arket's faux fur coat will complete any chilly weather outfit. The pale grey shade is irresistibly reminiscent of the faux on show on the Chloé AW24 runway – pair with knee-high boots to fully embrace the boho renaissance.
Unreal Fur Fur Delish jacket
Whether or not you consider yourself a 365 party girl, this jacket will add a touch of the new-grunge chic encapsulated by Charli XCX's brat to your look. Worn by the artist herself, this jacket is from faux fur favourite Unreal Fur, the Australian brand that specialises in cruelty-free outerwear. Pair it with a tank top and you're good to go.
Reformation Chloe Faux Fur Oversized Coat
Some coats complete the outfit, some coats are the outfit – and this leopard print bombshell is the latter. Leopard print (considered a neutral by much of the fashion set) is surprisingly wearable thanks to the earthy colourway, and this coat is great way of channelling one of the biggest trends of the year.
Hush Eleanor Faux Fur Jacket
A case for the mantra that more is more when it comes to a great faux fur jacket, this Hush beauty is super-soft as well as a statement. Oxblood, red and burgundy are the shades du jour, and we love the idea of nailing the trend with your jacket rather than your accessories, and pairing it with charcoal greys and faded black to let the fur do most of the talking.
Free People Annice Faux Fur Coat
Pledge allegiance to the mob wife aesthetic with this longline faux number from Free People. The exaggerated collar and long sleeves add a pleasing amount of drama to proceedings, and while you could wear it to top off your party look, it's also a great way to upgrade the humble jeans and knitwear outfit you've got on repeat.
The Frankie Shop Joni Faux Fur Coat
The Frankie Shop is one of our favourite brands for stylish and wearable staples, and this faux fur style coat is no different. Oversized, double-breasted and in a shade of deep brown, it's a winner. If you're partial to a more 'sculpted' silhouette, there's also a detachable belt.

Isabel Marant Faustine Faux Fur Jacket
There's a reason the A-list is going mad for cropped faux fur jackets – they look chic with just about everything, whether you're pairing a mini skirt with sheer tights, opting for a midi length or sticking to jeans or trousers. The shorter hemline of the jacket means you can go bold on the fluff factor, as this Isabel Marant classic does.
Good American Faux Fur Coat
There's something timeless about a black faux fur coat, and this Good American iteration will add instant glamour to any look. In fact, with its long length and tie-waist, this coat is a look in itself – ideal for those chilly days when you just need your outerwear to do the talking for you.
Zara Faux Shearling Jacket
There's something irresistible about toggles this season – as exemplified by this faux shearling jacket from Zara. We particularly like the wearable ecru-beige shade and teddy texture, and will be wearing this one to bring a new lease of life to all our black skirts and dresses for the foreseeable.
Stella McCartney Faux Fur Wrap Coat
You know you can rely on the master of faux fur, Stella McCartney, for a brilliant option. Since the designer launched her eponymous label in 2001, it's never used real fur, leading the charge on the switch to ethical faux materials. This wrap coat is the most perfect take on a teddy style, and also has a detachable tie at the waist to create a sleek silhouette.
Reiss Les 100 Ciels Faux Fur Coat
To be thrown over anything from workwear to a party dress, this Reiss jacket is a minimal take on faux fur. The cream colour whispers quiet luxury and elegance, while the funnel neck keeps things informal as well as ensuring you stay extra warm.
Saint Laurent Animal-Free Fur Jacket
The ultimate investment piece, Hailey Bieber herself has been spotted rocking Saint Laurent's fabulous faux furs. For optimum drama pair with sheer tights, heels and a mini dress – just be careful to keep it pristine so that you can hand it down to the next generation.
Hobbs Rosanne Faux Fur Coat
Adding a little interest to a classic black coat, this faux fur has a contrasting checkerboard-style pattern etched into it, which means it can be used to finish off all-black looks without looking flat. It's particularly great over sharp tailoring, as well jeans for some faux chic in the daytime.
Diane von Furstenberg Tanesha Faux Shearling Jacket
If you're more star of the show than wallflower then Diane von Furstenberg's zebra print coat just might be the one for you. You could temper the look by it pairing with jeans and a tee, or throw it over your work party dress – because more is more and less is bore, after all.
Karen Millen Faux Fur Pu Trim Longline Coat
Karen Millen's take on a faux shearling is elegant, timeless and effortlessly easy to wear. This is one for those looking for an easy everyday coat with a touch of glam, almost like a cross between a shearling jacket and a more formal furry coat.
Reformation Ellie Faux Fur Coat
Another winner from Reformation, this dalmatian-print coat emanates Cruella levels of glamour – just without any of the unpleasantness. If you want to embrace this season's penchant for animal print but aren't a fan of leopard, consider this the ultimate solution. It's perfect paired with faux leather trousers.
