The styling essential: a faux-fur coat

Once upon a time, quality faux fur was offered by only a few niche brands. Fast-forward to 2019 and the material has gone mainstream, with new fabric technology meaning its touch and feel is beautifully soft and fluffy. This season, every shape and color imaginable stormed the runways, but the resounding message was to go big rather than small. We love Helmut Lang’s gray, tie-waist version for something subdued but sleek, or Balenciaga’s oversized blue number gives a more maximalist vibe. Look to Nili Lotan, Stella McCartney and Michael Kors for old-world glamor.
