A celeb trend that’s wearable is a rare thing of wonder, but that’s exactly what the faux fur coat trend is!
Stars such as Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Kate Hudson have all been spotted out and about keeping warm and snugly in their faux fur buys. It’s a look that has filtered down into the high street as well, meaning you can snap up a slice of A-list luxe at a fraction of the price.
It’s the perfect cover up – especially with all this snow – and what’s more, you’ll probably be able to pick up a fur number in the sales. We’ve found a great black faux fur (see below) at Debenhams, reduced from £49 to £35.
Both Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham favour the more natural hue of coat, such as this Topshop number (middle). However, we think you can’t go wrong with black. If you don’t want to go the whole faux fur coat hog, don a furry gillet, which looks great when clashed with a cutesy print dress.

The key to wearing this look successfully is to keep the rest of your look simple. With so much volume up top, it’s also wise to keep the bottom half slim in skinny jeans or leggings. And finally, remember to keep it fake – real fur is not cool and if the faux variety is good enough for the likes of Ms Moss, then it’s good enough for us!

Brrr, it’s getting colder and if you haven’t already bought a new winter coat, now’s the time to get all wrapped up. This season, a coat isn’t just a practical thing, but a great addition to brighten up your winter wardrobe.
Forget boring old black and grey and throw caution to the wind, with a bright and beautiful cover up. The shops are full of an array of rainbow colours – from hot pink to lime green, there’s a shade to suit all.
The great thing about colour pop coats is that they can really zing up a boring outfit. One of our favourite tricks is to colour clash our tights – wear red tights with a pink coat for example, or clash green tights with a blue coat. It’s very Marc Jacobs – but without the price tag.
So get all wrapped up and banish the winter blues with one of these colourful coats…

With the days getting colder, we’ve been thinking about getting a new winter coat. The problem is there are just too many too choose from so thank goodness for Cat Deeley!
We spied a picture of her arriving at an aiport, looking all girl next door casual sexy, in a gorgeous grey military style coat. Obviously we thought this was above our means, but were delighted to find out it actually came from Monsoon.
The Michelangelo Military Coat is from their Fusion range and we think it’s the perfect winter cover up. As Cat proved, it looks great teamed with skinny jeans and casual boots, but will also look great over workwear. We’re snapping it up now as at £100, it’s a real celebrity steal!
For other military inspired coats, check out Dorothy Perkins, River Island and TopShop.
