Faux fur coat

[Birdy65]

What are your thoughts on faux fur coats? I have seen one that I really like in Hush, though its quite expensive> Do you think they may date?

They will never date!

So long as it's a timeless colour, print and shape, no, it will never date.

What I would be cautious about is the type of faux fur, as some wears terribly.

This is the coat

I almost bought the most beautiful faux fur coat in Anthropologie 2 years ago. I tried it on a few times and procrastinated until it had completely sold out. I really regret not buying it and think about it often!

Go for it

On seeing the coat you like OP, I think that is too bulky and teddy bear to be timeless

I ADORE a fur coat, but the one you've picked is very on trend and will date imo.

Here’s the one that got away, still sad about it!!

Lovely colour but it's too boxy, a difficult length and I don't think the quality of the fur is particularly good - enlarge the pictures and you'll see. Actually, you can see the quality of the pile isn't great even without enlarging the pictures.

As a comparison, this one for £99 is a much nicer faux fur and shape. Was particularly surprised when I saw it in store as it looks way more expensive than it is.

That was my thought too. I tried it on last week, felt very glamorous, loved the funnel neck, though felt quite large in it as it was quite boxy. I think I may leave it as it is expensive for something that may be dated next year.

It's nice but it doesn't look worth £175!!! I have seen better styles for under £100 some really good ones for around £50. But it depends on what you are looking for. I only buy black but I do like the grey colour.

@Greenglassteacup That's lovely, love a faux astrakhan! (I have a faux astrakhan in black!)

OP, if you live in London or near a big town, so into the shops and feel faux fur as that way you'll know what's good quality and worth spending money on and what isn't. As a benchmark, Shrimps make the best faux fur by miles, but it's expensive although they have good sales.

I love that StellaRockafella. How is the sizing? I find Zara inconsistent with their sizing and never know which one to order.

I'm usually an XS or S in Zara coats, the latter as I prefer them to be oversized. For this style, I much preferred the M.

Pity it’s double breasted

Mango have a beautiful faux fur single breasted coat at the moment, very good quality fabric and well cut

Honestly New Look have a very similar Teddy coat in the same grey colour. It's £49.
I bought it and then returned it because it was a bit boxy. The colour was gorgeous though. Maybe have a look online and see what you think .
