With party season well on its way, there's only one coat to invest in that'll pair just as well with a dress as was it does a pair of jeans - a faux fur coat. The latest fur coat that's got everyone talking is the Faux Fur Collared Short Coat, £79 from Marks & Spencer which has made waves across Instagram and TikTok with hundreds of fashion influencers scrambling to get their hands on this plush, high street gem. So popular, in fact, it's already sold out once, but don't worry - it's just had a restock - and trust us, you'll want to be first in line.
The success of the faux fur coat is most likely down to the fact it looks like something you've picked out of a vintage shop rather than the high street. Of course, real fur isn't on the agenda anymore, but this plush, faux fur design is instantly eye-catching and will elevate even your simplest look. When it comes to this piece, the coat is the outfit.

We're calling this one the 'faux fur coats of all faux fur coats.' Featuring an easy, regular fit, collar and hook and bar closure, you'll get tons of wear out of it - oh, and it's under £80 too.
To style said coat with a bit of ski-chic flair, pair the coat with thermal leggings, chunky winter boots and oversized sunglasses (think Aspen glamour with an edge). Add a beanie or earmuffs for a look that's perfect for city streets or alpine resorts alike. Plus, the coat's shorter length lends itself perfectly to layering, by styling with a bold knit or wool scarf.
It doesn't look like the buzz surrounding this coat is going anywhere, in fact, TikTok calls it 'the perfect brown fur coat,' while similar thoughts are echoed on the website with customers saying 'I imagine getting years of wear out of this timeless piece.' If the history of this coat is anything to go by, it won't be around for long, so consider this your official heads-up to bag the coat before it sells out.
