Coiffure Extravagante
As the months are getting colder (sigh), winter coats are rapidly making their way to the top of our shopping list. Yep, as much as we wish the sun were here to stay all year long, the gorgeous pieces landing in some of our fave stores this month are slowly bringing us around to the idea that it’s not - and in particular, their winter coats. Trenches, macs, puffa jackets, wool capes, parkas, pea coats and dusters are all but a scratch on the surface of what the high street has to offer at the moment. But our favourite way to stay warm AND fashionable? Faux fur of course!
Taking the reins as one of this season’s biggest trends, faux fur is the ultimate one-way ticket to boosting your coat credentials. Whether you opt for bright, colour blocking buys, playful patchwork numbers or retro collared get-ups, the high street is full of purse-friendly faux fur cover-ups. Indeed, starting at just £70, our edit of the high street’s hottest faux fur winter coats are seriously affordable. We’ve also been careful to choose only those with the potential to complete any outfit, making for the perfect timeless wardrobe addition. If that’s not enough to convert you, we don’t know what is.
Of course, we understand faux fur can seem pretty daunting to someone who’s not so familiar with dabbling in the bolder of sartorial choices, which is why we’ve included some more subtle options too. Topshop, Debenhams and French Connection all offer cute faux fur gilets, meaning you won’t have to jump straight in at the deep end. Meanwhile, ASOS has various patchwork numbers to choose from.
