Bundling up in rich, luxurious textures is a winter wardrobe given. Take this season, for example. We’ve sported country-coded barn jackets atop Fair Isle sweaters on days when the sun shone high to cozy knit dresses underneath cinched suede coats once the temperatures really started to drop. To the everyday fashion girl, these staples are relatively easy to style. Just throw them on with a few of your other favorite essentials and expect sartorial success each and every time. One cold-weather mainstay not mentioned–but arguably more statement-making than the rest–is the fabulous faux fur coat. Unlike its textural counterparts, faux fur coats and jackets are slightly trickier to incorporate into your day-to-day lineup since they can be overpowering, but luckily, that’s where we come in. Below, find (and shop!) eight chic, Vogue-verified ways to wear a faux fur coat or jacket this winter.
Vogue’s Favorite Faux Fur Coats

Before we get into the how, here’s a quick seasonal runway recap: faux fur coats could be spotted at almost every fall/winter 2025 collection, from Toteme to Valentino. At Toteme a collarless iteration was given the tonal treatment, paired alongside cream and white separates for a minimalist take. Valentino took a more decadent route with a mashup of print and color for a surprise twist on the “mob wife” trend.
No matter where your winter wardrobe takes you this season–the city streets or perhaps even the snowy slopes– here are six seriously chic ways to wear your new favorite faux-fur coats and jackets.
The Short Belted Jacket With Straight-Leg Jean
Sink into a pinot noir toned leather booth in the heart of the West Village—the kind of dimly lit nook that practically scripts the perfect date night. To arrive with just the right dose of intrigue, try a belted faux fur coat thrown over straight-leg denim and sharp pointed-toe boot. It’s minimalism with a hint of drama.
The Collarless Shearling With Trousers and a Colorful Turtleneck
A collarless shearling coat exudes effortless chic—the kind that feels polished and plush. Drape it over a pale yellow knit for a soft wash of color then ground the look with tailored grey trousers and a sleek sock style boot. Have plans after work? This ensemble will take you seamlessly from your desk to a cozy candlelit dinner.
The Animal Print Jacket With a Belted Midi and Boot
Why not treat animal print as your most playful neutral? Let Nili Lotan’s leopard print shearling coat take center stage by pairing it with an all black ensemble.
The Winter White Ensemble With a Glint of Gold
An all-white look, as crisp and fresh as new snowfall, carries a chic, almost innocent allure. Add dimension to the palette by playing with textures: pairing white corduroys with a chunky cable knit sweater, then topping off with a plush, blanket-like jacket from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Zara collab.
The Lounge Set With a Dramatic Topper
Make a statement as you roll through customs in a belted faux fur—your chic armor against long-haul fatigue—layered over a cozy lounge set. Complete with a punchy red baseball cap courtesy of Ralph Lauren.
The Cropped Jacket With a Party-Ready Mini Skirt
Show up to the holiday fête in a look that strikes the delicate balance between sparkle and refined polish. Staud’s cropped faux fur acts as a decadent topper to Kallmeyer’s satin mini skirt. Lean into the mood with Rixo’s beaded bag and slip into Proenza Schouler’s bow-detailed satin mules for a final touch of understated glamour.
