Faux Fur Coat Outfits to Look Put-Together—Even When It’s Freezing

My absolute favorite cold-weather piece is my rich-looking faux fur coat from my grandmother’s vintage closet. Drenched in an opulent shade of chocolate brown, it plays right into the ladylike trend with a structured silhouette, a perfectly stitched hemline, and a charming buttoned closure.

Timeless by nature, it's the kind of coat—new or vintage—that belongs in every winter capsule wardrobe. Invest in one now, and you’ll find yourself wearing this perennial style with any outfit—whether you pair an oversized version with wide-leg jeans and trendy sneakers (as recently seen on Rihanna) or you take Taylor Swift’s approach and wear it as a mini dress alongside sheer tights and knee-high boots. On Miu Miu’s Fall 2024 runway, the designer teamed faux fur coats with Canadian tuxedos—and I’ve been copying the outfit formula ever since.

Meanwhile, plenty of outfit inspiration also exists on the street-style scene. Fashion week showgoers championed fuzzy outwear with a range of separates, from leather pants to slip skirts. In short, there are endless possibilities when styling faux fur—and it always makes an outfit look more expensive. Here are 12 faux fur outfit inspirations to help you look impressive, even when it's freezing.

It’s Not Complicated
