During winter, a great coat holds the power to define your outfit. For those who want to look luxurious, the addition of a faux-fur coat can quickly take an outfit from simple to extravagant. While TikTok has embraced the style as part of the “mob wife aesthetic,” it’s not just Carmela Soprano who looks good in something fuzzy.

Faux-fur has become the de facto choice over traditional fur for its cruelty-free production and lower price point. “Faux-fur allows for more flexibility and creativity,” says Victoria Monaco, creative brand manager at Apparis, a brand beloved for its faux-fur creations. “I go for a more refined color palette when it comes to my wardrobe, but I still allow for fun pops, and I think a faux-fur piece is the perfect place to throw that in. You can be wearing all black underneath, and it just makes the outfit.”

Luxury labels have introduced slick faux-fur styles into their collections, like Max Mara’s signature Teddy coat along with styles from the likes of Saint Laurent and Prada. Monaco observes that the beauty of a faux-fur coat is that while it is a statement, it doesn’t need to be reserved for special occasions. “If you’ve never gone to the bodega or run an errand in a lounge set with a faux-fur coat over it and sunglasses—try it,” she suggests. “You’ll feel like the first lady of your neighborhood.”
