Faux fur coats for winter
A faux fur coat gives the glamour of fur without using animal skins. Shapes range from short teddy-style jackets to full-length coats, in cream, black, caramel and bold colours. Compare faux fur jackets from UK retailers, then follow the link to the shop that sells your favourite. The pile, length and weight vary a lot, so read the product details closely. Always check the product page for the fabric mix, the length and the closure, so you know what to expect before you click through to buy.
Faux fur jackets to wear every day
A faux fur jacket works best as the standout piece of an outfit, so keep what is underneath simple: jeans, knitwear and boots. A cropped fur jacket suits dresses and high waists, while a longer coat looks dramatic over evening wear. For something less fluffy and more practical in cold, damp weather, see our fleece jackets, which are soft, light and easy to wash. Neutral colours such as ivory, grey and chocolate are the most flexible, while leopard prints and bold shades make a strong feature of the coat.
Keeping warm in a faux fur coat
Many faux fur coats have a quilted or satin lining that adds warmth and helps the coat glide over knitwear. Check for deep pockets, a hook-and-eye or snap closure and a lining that feels comfortable on the arms. In the coldest weeks, a longer cut with a wide collar shields your neck. For a tailored, double-breasted alternative, try our peacoats. Pockets are another detail to check, because a deep, well-placed pocket keeps your hands warm and makes the coat far more practical.
Caring for a faux fur coat
Shake the coat gently after wearing it and brush the pile with a soft, wide-toothed comb to keep it fluffy. Most faux fur should be spot cleaned or sent to a dry cleaner, so check the care label. Never iron it, and keep it away from direct heat. Hang it on a padded hanger in a cool, dry wardrobe to avoid flattened patches. If a coat arrives creased or flat, a steamer held at a distance can help lift the pile again, as long as it is used gently.
