A fail-safe way to look effortlessly put-together, the cozy topper has an uncanny way of making even casual sweatshirts look chic. While you used to have to feel guilty about sentencing bunnies, minks, and lambs to a cruel fate for the sake of fashion, that's thankfully not the case anymore. With major fashion brands, including Diane Von Furstenburg, Michael Kors, and Coach, banning fur from their collections, the anti-fur movement is taking off in a big way and making room for high-quality alternatives. But you don't have to go faux just for the ethics; not only can animal-free fur be designed to minimize shedding, they provide varying levels of thickness, don't cost a thousand dollars, and will never have that funky wet dog smell. From cropped cuties to ankle-skimming beauties, unique prints to classic neutrals, we've rounded up some of our favorite faux fur coats that will keep you swaddled in warmth all season long. Zara Faux-Fur Trim Coat $149, zara.com This fluffy cream number reminds us of a marshmallow, in the best way possible. Ideal for freezing temperatures due to its longer length, the neutral shade can be worn with basically anything, making it the ideal signature coat for your winter wardrobe. Abercrombie & Fitch Faux-Fur Cropped Coat $60, abercrombie.com Fancy something a bit shorter? One touch of the ultra-soft fabric, and you'll be sold (although you can't touch through the screen so you'll just have to take our word for it). Team with a skirt or high-waisted jeans for the ultimate streamlined look. Women's Faux-Fur Jacket $28, target.com If you want to look bougie on a budget, look no further than this plush teddy coat. Available in four versatile colors, the outerwear is lined with plush polyester inside so it won't feel scratchy against your skin. DKNY Hooded Fur Coat $196, macys.com This classic black beauty wins us over with its roomy hood, which gives the fur coat a more wearable, casual vibe. It's also great to pair with those thicker oversized sweaters, thanks to its loosely-fitted sleeves. Raven Reversible Faux-Shearling Coat $150, nordstrom.com With geometric lines and large side pockets, this faux-shearling motorcycle-style jacket combines all of our favorite pieces of outerwear. Bonus: It even reverses to a smooth face for when you want to switch your look up. Cupcakes and Cashmere Danae Jacket $160, zappos.com The splashes of gray and white in this color palette are an instant eye-catcher. Wear it with black, cream, or gray neutrals for a sharp, style-forward look. Kendall and Kylie Long Leopard Faux-Fur Coat $190, nordstromrack.com Leopard print never really goes "out," but it can feel intimidating to pull off. Styled with a plush collar and versatile knee-skimming length, the contrasting browns and creams in this design exude that classic leopard look without being too in-your-face. (P.S. It's going for half off right now so we recommend you pounce on it ASAP.) Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
