WARDROBE WAKE-UP: faux fur coat

The second in the Wadrobe Wake-up series. This week, taking inspiration from my fictional favourite fashionista: Carrie Bradshaw.

I love Carrie's oversized furs that she wears as she runs around New York in the winter in Sex and the City.

Fur - real and faux - was all over the catwalks for Autumn/Winter 2010 and the high street has duly followed suit, producing all manner and style of jacket, gilet and coat in a variety of colours and prints, to suit every taste. Remember the furs - in animal print - that I spotted on the catwalk at Westfield shopping centre?

I already have my little faux fur jacket that my (stylish) sister bought me for Christmas last year but I think this year, I might also invest in an on-trend shaggy faux fur gilet - à la Carrie typing away at her computer, above.


I have hunted down some fabulous faux furs to save you the trouble: clockwise from top centre; Warehouse Dip Dye Mongolian Wool Gilet; Yumi Faux Fur Coat With Glass Button Detail; ASOS Vintage Look Blonde Fur Coat; and Oasis Faux Fur Coat.


Have you already got your faux fur, left over from last winter or will you be jumping in the trend for the first time this season?
