The best faux fur coats to buy this winter, according to a Shopping Editor
Stylish winter warmers, right this way ❄️
Faux fur coats and statement outerwear are one of the best things about winter dressing, IMO. Wrapping up in a great, standout coat can make any old outfit look a million bucks, and nothing says statement quite like a chic faux fur jacket. They can elevate a laidback, casual day look of jeans and a tee (or, more likely, a big jumper), or serve to enhance the glam when paired with a sequin mini dress and knee high boots.
We love an item that is both on-trend and does the job, because what could be warmer than wearing a big fluffy hug? And this chilly winter season, there's no shortage of incredible faux fur styles to shop... From animal prints and bold brights to sleek jet-black styles and lush browns, we've found a faux fur coat in every shade, print and shape. Whether you're looking for a cropped bomber jacket, or a longline coat to see you through that harsh winter breeze - whilst still serving a major dose of glamour, obvs - then you've come to the right place, with options for every price point.
What's more, we've even got great tips and tricks on how to maintain and clean your faux fur coat to keep it in tip-top condition throughout the winter.

Brit brand Shrimps took the XXL Peter Pan collar trend beyond blouses and into outerwear with their uber-cool Brandy coat. And handily, it's 45% off right now at The Outnet, so snap one up in your size. Stunning.
Ringing in under £100, M&S's short chocolate brown coat is a must-have. It will dress up or down with ease, and despite the luxurious texture, it's got a more streamlined shape than some other faux-fur coats, if you'd prefer to avoid bulkier styles.
The Outnet's jacket collection is a treasure trove of statement buys right now. We've got our eyes on several goodies, including this perfect Jakke animal print jacket, which is currently 35% off.
The toggle fastenings on this jacket are giving us cosy Paddington Bear vibes - anyone else? We're picking up Pull & Bear's affordable relaxed-fit jacket for everything from trimming the tree to festive holiday pub catchups.
Stories' coats fly off the shelves during winter, so snap up this elegant black topper while you can. Whether you're ice skating, toasting your colleagues at the company party, or heading out on a date, this sleek jacket will polish up any winter outfit. Just add red lippie.
For a cute, cropped, form-fitting number, look no further than our top pick from Gini London. The ribbed waistband lends a slightly more casual feel to the style, making this perfect for everyday wear.
For a plush and dramatic 'main character' look that Cher Horowitz would approve of, this Amazon Fashion find really delivers - and for under 50 quid, if you can believe it.
The Frankie Shop's 70's style shag coat looks ultra cool with denim or cowboy boots. It's got plush, thick faux fur and a hidden hook closure in the front to keep you cosy.
On winter's coldest days (and when rolling yourself up in a duvet burrito isn't an option) you need a luxuriously thick shaggy coat to get out the door. May we suggest Free People's mint green option? Or, pick it up in lilac, ochre, or beige.
Cropped, cute, and under £100? Sign us up. This essential black topper is almost bolero style, meaning it's the ideal throw-on-and-go style to pair with all your party dresses this season.
Teddy coats still have our hearts, and this cute Monki one is no exception. It's ideal to wear at the weekends with denim and your comfiest walking boots.
Journalist and editor Laura Brown teamed up with B Corp-certified Parisian brand Sézane to work on a cool-girl capsule of style staples, like this effortless animal print coat. Considering that leopard's practically a neutral, and this is the perfect length and relaxed fit, we'll be wearing this for years to come.
Penny Lane, is that you? Superdry's buy of cosy coats is *really* good this year, like these groupie-inspired Afghan shag coats.
Rabanne's hotly-anticipated collaboration with H&M delivers disco glamour to the max, and this major two-tone coat is ready to keep you warm on your next Big Night Out.
Zara's faux fur coat selection is top-notch, but that means they also sell out quickly. Snag this one now before it goes - you'll wear it loads with everything from jeans to cocktail dresses.
Faux-fur coats don't have to make you look like you're dressed for the opera. This cool logo-emblazoned one from adidas adds a sporty streetwear edge to an otherwise elegant mode of outerwear.
Don't sleep on The Outnet's selection of majorly-discounted faux fur coats, which are often a whopping 50% off. Like this statement checkerboard duster coat from Stand Studio, on sale for half of the original price tag.
Cuddle up in this bad boy from ba&sh, with not two but four pockets for snacks. We love the unique details on this one, from the half-collar to the cinched waistband.
If you fancy a colour injection into your heavily-black winter wardrobe, try on this mint green Whistles coat for size. As a bonus, it's currently on major sale.
For dog walks, the gym, or weekend excursions, we're eyeing up Rails' fluffy hooded zip jacket. The crop length is perfect when you don't want to lug around something heavy and cumbersome all day.
