7 long wool coats for timeless autumn and winter looks
by Stephanie Vinzens

Faux fur’s comeback couldn’t have come at a better time to keep us stylish and warm over the winter. Here are my favourite faux-fur pieces from the Galaxus range.
Winter always arrives earlier than we’d like. While you’re still twirling around under golden leaves, mentally going through the ingredient list for the pumpkin soup you’ll make later, it’s lurking just around the corner – bringing with it bracing temperatures.
So, skip the leaf baths for now and focus on your cold-weather wardrobe. And I have a suggestion on how to protect yourself against the cold in style: plush faux fur.
Admittedly, I’m slightly biased. My favourite winter coat – and one of my favourite pieces of clothing in general – is a checked faux-fur number. It’s kept me effortlessly warm and stylish for about five winters now. Fashion’s going back to its soft side.
After a few understated, quiet luxury seasons, there seems to be a noticeable return to glamour and cool – two qualities that big faux-fur pieces effortlessly combine. Fancy wrapping yourself in extravagant plushness? Your new winter must-have could be among these beautiful coats and jackets.

Practical solutions for everyday problems with technology, household hacks and much more.

The mob wife aesthetic that went viral last year foreshadowed this trend. Then, the major labels’ fashion shows for the current autumn/winter season – and the guests who attended them – made it clear: faux fur’s back with a vengeance. According to WWD, searches for faux fur on luxury online retailer Net-a-Porter increased by a whopping 220 per cent after Fashion Month.
