So many labels—Chloé, Valentino, Simone Rocha, Alaïa, you name it—showed faux fur this season, proposing the luxurious (and cruelty-free) material as the perfect finishing touch to any cold-weather ensemble. Play around with different lengths, finishes, and silhouettes; whether you prefer a cropped, collarless topper or a floor-skimming maxi, these coats work wonders against frigid temps. Style them with black trousers and loafers for a sophisticated, low-effort look, or go with a miniskirt, fleece-lined tights, and knee-high boots to go full boho.

Without question, deep, rich brown is the color trend of the season. And while you should also add it to your boots and bags, it might just look its best in the form of an oversized layer. It’s just as easy to wear as classic black (and looks great with the shade), but is just different enough to stand out—perfect for anyone who likes to make a subtle statement. Pair it with black boots or ballet flats in poppy shades like lavender or red.
