Faux fur coat??

62 replies

emsyj · 09/12/2014 10:50

Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced faux fur coat?? I would ideally like something with long sleeves, with or without a collar, uniform fur all over (i.e. no fabric embellishments etc - all fur) and maybe hip or bum length (nothing cropped). I can't go shopping to see one in real life so just wondered if anybody has seen one that feels nice and is heavy and warmish... TIA Smile

I ordered the TopShop and Tesco faux fur coats to compare.

Can you only wear black with those coats?

Mrsap · 09/12/2014 20:58

So far I have only worn all black but I think it will work well with Darker jeans and darkish tops too?

Tonight I picked up the Tesco leopard one marked down to £20 in store! And the label says 100% Modacrylic.

I have this one:

Its absolutely gorgeous on. Much nicer than the picture.

I'd say you can wear grey with the leopard coats too.

I saw that M&Co coat the other day. It's v luxurious. The grey DP one is also lovely in real life.

This looks very chic.

IMO leopard print is a neutral & can be worn with any colour.

The M& Co one is lovely! I also like the Quiz one that Fairy posted earlier. I am wondering whether to order a few more now and return what I don't want.

I'm now in love with this M&Co silver one...

OK, I've ordered the M&Co silver one and got 20% off with code FIRST20. Will probably return the TK Maxx one unless I prefer it when it arrives.

I have tried this on and it's really gorgeous. However, it is a bit pricey.

I can imagine wearing it for years though. I have a karen millen longer one and it's gotten so much wear was really worth the :)

emsyj · 10/12/2014 10:42

That one is beautiful flux - I've had a couple of Coast coats and they have been lovely quality and given me loits of wear - I just can't spend that much so close to Christmas. I might check out the sales in the new year tho - there are quite a few nice furry ones on the Coast website that I like the look of.

Gharani Strok is usually excellent quality

SofaCanary · 10/12/2014 11:39

I prefer the flea bitten one Blush

emsyj · 10/12/2014 11:47
Confused

I am going to base my decision on which one feels more plush and makes me want to stroke it more. That seems the fairest way.

SofaCanary · 10/12/2014 11:49

Sounds reasonable Grin

mirpuppet · 10/12/2014 12:29

Thanks once the leopard ones arrive I will try with colours other than black.

WeWishYouAMerryRabbit78 · 10/12/2014 16:56

I have the new look leopard one and it's fab!

JosephWasAChippyMinton · 10/12/2014 17:09

The Leopard Faux Fur Coat is the new MN Scarf Xmas Grin

squoosh · 10/12/2014 17:14

After 6 years of devoted service my faux leopard print coat has gone to the faux menagerie in the sky

RIP.

SofaCanary · 10/12/2014 17:53

I got chatting to a woman wearing the MN scarf today while waiting in the mile long PO queue. She was really beautiful and has a Staffy and a house rabbit...hello if you're reading this [big grin]

I have the dark grey Warehouse one. It's lovely and has attracted quite a few compliments. This one.
