How to Style a Faux Fur Coat: 6 Easy Winter Looks

A faux fur coat is the warmest and most glam piece you can wear in winter. The trick is to keep the rest of the outfit simple so the coat does not look too much. This guide shows you how to style a faux fur coat in 6 easy ways, with real photos from women in the US and labels you can follow.

Quick answer: Pair a faux fur coat with simple, slim pieces like jeans, black trousers or a bodysuit. Let the coat be the star, and add boots or sneakers for day and heels for night.

Step 1: Wear a Long Fur Coat With Jeans and a Cap

A long faux fur coat can look casual too. Wear it over jeans with a cap and you get a cool city look that is warm enough for the coldest days.

Quick tip: A cap or beanie makes a glam coat feel more everyday.

Step 2: Try a Cropped Fur Jacket in the Snow

A cropped fur jacket is easier to move in than a long coat. Pair a cream one with dark jeans and boots for snowy days.

Quick tip: Cropped fur looks best with high waist jeans.

Step 3: Go Fun With Leopard and Earmuffs

Leopard faux fur is fun and bold. Add fluffy earmuffs for a cute winter look that keeps you warm when you are out in the city.

Quick tip: Keep the rest neutral so the leopard does not clash.

Step 4: Wear a White Fur Jacket With All Black

A white fur jacket over an all black outfit is a simple high contrast look. It works for dinners, holiday markets and nights out.

Quick tip: Black underneath makes white fur stand out even more.

Step 5: Match a Short Fur Jacket to a Bodysuit

Wear a short fur jacket over a fitted bodysuit and pants in one color. The slim base balances the big jacket and makes you look taller.

Quick tip: Tonal colors like brown and chocolate look rich and polished.

Step 6: Drape a Fur Stole Over a Party Dress

For holiday parties, a fur stole over a satin dress is pure glam. Let it slip off one shoulder for an old Hollywood feel.

Quick tip: Keep jewelry simple when you wear fur and satin together.

Faux Fur Coat Mistakes to Avoid

  • Wearing a big fur coat with baggy pants. The outfit looks heavy.
  • Adding a chunky scarf over a fur collar.
  • Picking a shiny, flat faux fur. Soft, full fur looks more real.
  • Carrying a huge tote that flattens the fur.
