November 5, 2010 by Ceri ·
Faux fur is right on trend this winter and quite rightly so. Not only is it stylish, luxurious and elegant, you can really keep yourself warm this winter with totally on trend faux fur items, what’s not to love? You can take your pick from a wide range of very affordable coats which work equally well for daytime or evening. Or why not add some stylish accessories to add a bit of interest and texture (plus extra warmth) to a minimalist camel coat.
There are plenty of places to take inspiration from Faux fur this winter with the Chanel catwalk shows featuring everything from clothes to accessories with an ice age theme. At Balmain there was a structured teddy bear coat worn with a party dress and at Gucci fur trimmed coats. Even Peter Pilotto known for their amazing printed and draped dresses managed to fit in some faux fur patches for a hint of luxury. At Marc Jacobs, an elegant lady like dress was combined with above the elbow gloves and a faux fur shrug.
This winter faux fur or fake fur is available in all sorts of choices from natural colours to animal prints and textured styles. Look out for glamorous, rock chic, seventies, folk, retro fifties and eclectic styles.
The Coats and Jackets
Larna Boohoo Pink Faux Fur Jacket
With an interesting multi colour pattern, this jacket almost looks as though it has a crimped texture. It will add glamour to anything from an everyday outfit to the hottest party dress.
The Fur Trim Aviator Jacket – Boohoo
It is amazing how much warmer a little faux fur trim around the neck of a jacket can make you. We love this luxurious version of the seasons must have aviator and the perfect way to wear faux fur in an understated way.

Dalmation Faux Fur Coat – Miss Selfridge

Trisha Faux Fur Gilet – Boohoo
Perfect for layering a little extra warmth over a casual Boho outfit. This gilet is one of the best value faux fur piece that we have seen.

Valerie Faux Fur Trapper Hat – Boohoo
For those who aren’t willing on compromise on warmth and comfort, a trapper hat is the perfect on trend answer. There is absolutely no chance that you will get cold ears this winter in one of these.
Finally for a bit of a change, why not try a kitch faux fur top? This would look great with both leather trousers or jeans.
