I remember being embarrassed when my mom picked me up from school in her long fur coat. It seemed so over the top, especially for her (at the time) vegetarian daughter. But (faux or real — your call), fur coats are everywhere this winter (and every winter, really — they never go out of style). Fact: A furry topper is an easy way to look super chic when it’s brutally cold. And believe it or not, it’s really easy to figure out how to wear a fur coat casually without looking over the top.
Rich navy, bright magenta, Easter egg blue, and icy grey update the look, but classic black and brown furs bring a luxe elegance that will be stylish for years. When it comes to how to wear a fur coat, it’s the cut that’s key. Case in point: My mom’s ’80s fur would feel completely 2023 if shortened a bit, and actually Carrie Bradshaw brought back the ’80s style fur coat not so long ago, so really anything is possible with the right ‘tude. Bomber styles are super modern and perf for a night out or for keeping a black tie gown from feeling stuffy, or go with a longer mid-thigh length version for added warmth and weekend to work versatility. Still not convinced you know how to wear a fur coat casually (real or faux)? Here are some of my top tips for how to wear a fur coat casually:
Keep it Simple: To maintain a casual look, pair your fur coat with simple, understated clothing. Solid-colored basics like jeans, leggings, or a plain T-shirt work well. Add edge with leather leggings or throw an oversized fur coat on with leggings to upgrade a casual weekend look.
Balance with Casual Accessories: Choose casual accessories to complement your fur coat, such as a beanie or a slouchy hat, sneakers or ankle boots, and a simple handbag.
Dress Down Your Outfit: Wear a dress or a skirt with your fur coat for a more relaxed, feminine look. Pair with a denim skirt, or a pair of vintage jeans to get a more casual cool-girl look. Add glam edge with leather leggings or trousers.
Mix Textures: Combining different textures can add depth and interest to your outfit. Pairing your fur coat with materials like denim, leather, or knitwear can create a more casual and textured look.
