Preview AW17: Faux Fur Coat
Faux Fur is everywhere, shoes, bags, hats and scarfs, all of them are sporting this fabric using all the colours of the rainbow. Faux Fur Coats are becoming more and more popular. Apart from using cruel free materials, the price tag has played an important part in choosing a faux fur coat, and also it is easy to wear with either jeans or a party dress and you don't feel overdressed but just warm. I've picked few coats that will be in store from the best high street stores and new designers.
*Not Yet* I am keeping an eye myself for this gorgeous Primark faux fur jacket. It sports my favourite colours, namely orange and teal. When I've seen it at the press launch I've just fell in love with it. Check the store and the website frequently in order to snap it up in no time. www.primark.com
*In Store* This Storm Coat by Bandits will be your next favourite coat that will see you through the winter. With its pockets and big collar it will embrace you, keeping you warm down to your knees. I love the lighter blue stripes on top of the dark blue background. Bandits is the brain child of designer Ana Konder and it is entirely made in England. www.bandits.london
*Not Yet* This fantastic long coat is by boohoo.com and its dark green colour will match virtually anything as well as let you feel like an heroine from one of those sci fantasy books, maybe the Queen of the Elves. It is not yet available but for sure it will be very popular because of its length that will fend off the cold and gusts of wind. www.boohoo.com
*Not Yet* It looks like Mongolian fur this jacket by Butterfly by Matthew Williamson for Debenhams. As you can see faux fur coats and jackets are made mainly with bright and multicoloured patterns that add to the playfulness of the garment. After all if a faux fur coat looks too much like a real fur coat you can always risk some verbal attack from zealous animal rights activist. In this case these coats are so fake looking that you won't have any problem. www.debenhams.com
*Not Yet* Another gorgeous coat with a multicoloured pattern by Biba for House of Fraser. Well I love colours so when I see something like this I am very excited. The camo pattern sends you back to the Swinging London with Biba as its fashion ambassador. www.houseoffraser.co.uk
*Not Yet* Green is a very popular colour for AW17 and from this outfit styled at Monsoon you can see that this colour is a winner. The jacket is perfect for a night out but great for the day as well bringing some glamour to a tiring day at work. The beautiful metallic pleated skirt is not in store either, so check the shops and the website to see when they will be available and you might have just as well sorted your Christmas party outfit. www.uk.monsoon.co.uk
*Not Yet* If you think that a multicoloured faux fur coat is something that you would grow tired with and you prefer something easier to wear go no further than Phase Eight. For the AW17 season the brand came up with this great mid length jacket that might make you feel like Carrie in Sex and The City when she was teaming up her faux fur coat with very sporty outfits or a party dress and I recall one time when she was wearing a pyjama on New Year's Eve. Check when it will be available at www.phase-eight.com
*Not Yet* As I said before, animal print are still big this coming season, so why not embracing the 1960s look with this leopard print coat by Peacocks ? Leopard print has been a wardrobe staple for decades and I challenge any woman to deny that they don't own at least an item with this pattern. This coat is not yet in store but check its arrival at www.peacocks.co.uk
*Not Yet* Just looking at it I feel warm and protected from the cold. This burgundy faux shearling coat with burgundy faux fur lining is by River Island and it will be one of the chain AW17 best sellers.
