The 9 Best Faux Fur Jacket Outfits to Recreate in 2025

When the season changes and everything feels a touch greyer, my mind starts to drift to the beginning of the festive period, a time where everything's filled with warmth, light and cosy comfort.

As the darker days set in, I turn to dopamine dressing and the fail-safe items that always help me fight off the winter blues and embrace the season's softer side. My go-to? A fluffy faux-fur jacket.

But what is it about a faux-fur jacket outfit that fills me with so much joy? A cosy way to make a statement, they feel innately fabulous to me. I own both a full-length maxi faux fur as well as a cropped one with a funnel neck, and let me tell you: every time I put either of them on, I instantly look and feel a hundred times better. Maybe it's because I spent my formative years lusting after the iconic wardrobe of Carrie Bradshaw and her friends in Sex and the City, where, come winter, the girls were draped in some of the most luxe-looking fauxs imaginable.

Or perhaps it's the Mary-Kate-and-Ashley-Olsen effect, and the allure of their shaggy, bundled faux furs, loose jeans and signature oversized sunglasses. Whatever the reason, I've been hooked on faux furs for years. And it doesn’t take a trend expert to notice that this coat trend is gaining popularity as winter 2025 progresses. As the fashion set continues to gravitate away from quiet luxury, these striking ensembles feel like a direct response to the changing zeitgeist.

A slightly chicer continuation of the "Mob Wife" aesthetic, which was all over TikTok in 2024, this winter, the way we're wearing faux-fur jackets now blends trending '90s cool with classic fashion. Keep in mind that the operative word here is "faux"; at Who What Wear UK, we’re not subscribing to any unethical practices. And as luck would have it, the fashion industry is more than kind of on board. From the viral Charlotte Simone iterations that have flooded my social feeds to curly faux Mongolians available everywhere from Karen Millen to Zara, every brand seems fixated on creating faux-fur pieces that look even better than the real thing.

And I promise, they couldn’t be easier to style! When it comes to faux fur, anything goes. Working with everything from classic jeans to tracksuit bottoms (really!), London, New York and Paris's coolest people are using faux-fur jackets to infuse a little nonchalance into almost every look imaginable. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to look effortlessly cool?

So if you’re in the market to invest or looking for some fresh inspiration to style one you already own, keep scrolling for some faux-fur jacket outfits we love.
