Whether you came of age in the early 2000s or were there for the OG trend cycle in the 70s, faux fur jackets have definitely cycled through our outerwear rotation at least once.
While pastel teddy coats and oversized yeti-esque trenches may have made their mark on the runway, it is safe to say that the high-street alternatives to these high-end designs did *not* serve the Kate Hudson Penny Lane fantasy we had hoped for 99% of the time.
In good news for those of us dedicated to interesting outerwear, our favourite celebrity cool-girls have seemingly revived the trend from the retro fashion graveyard, and thanks to the effortless style of Charli XCX and Bella Hadid, faux fur is back and better than ever.
Want to rock the trend but don’t know where to start? We’ve rounded up our favourite celebrity-inspired faux fur jackets to help you recreate the look at home.
