The Best Faux Fur Coats For Looking Fashionable

While more traditional pea coats and puffer jackets are seen again and again during the cooler seasons, I, for one, am all about finding stylish faux fur coats. Not necessarily for anti-fur reasons, but certainly for financial incentives. Faux fur tends to be a heck of a lot cheaper in most cases, and can be equally if not much cuter, if you find the right piece. You've probably been seeing fur everywhere on Instagram lately between fashion week and bloggers prepping for cooler months, and you might be wondering if faux fur is still a thing or not.

I've asked myself the same question: Is fur even still on-trend? Let's be honest, New York Fashion Week never lies, and fur was everywhere during the September 2015 shows. From the omnipresent Gucci fur-lined slippers on the streets (OK — not faux, but oddly made from kangaroo? Whose idea was that?) to all the fur details on the runway, this is one trend that has yet to fizzle out. My guess is because of both the glam notion of donning yourself with soft things and the general coziness of basically wearing a rug. I'm all for comfort, especially when the general public confuses it with being fashionable.

Now before the complete and utter pandemonium of trying to be stylish in the midst of winter sets in, here are 17 stylish yet remarkably warm faux fur jackets to put you ahead of the fashion curve. Happy (jacket) hunting!

1. Little Faux Riding Hood

5. Pattern Play
