I remember being embarrassed when my mom picked me up from school in her long fur coat. It seemed so over the top, especially for her (at the time) vegetarian daughter. But (faux or real — your call) fur coats are everywhere this winter, and an easy way to look super chic when it’s brutally cold. Rich navies, bright magentas, Easter egg blues, and icy greys update the look, but classic blacks and browns bring a luxe elegance that will be stylish for years. It’s the cut that’s key. Case in point: My mom’s ’80s fur would feel completely 20198 if shortened a bit. Bomber styles are super modern and perf for a night out or for keeping a black tie gown from feeling stuffy, or go with a longer mid-thigh length version for added warmth and weekend to work versatility. Here are more ideas for how to wear a fur coat.

Cozy, comfy, and warm, the fashion gods have blessed us by making basically your fave winter snuggle blanket…

If you’re embracing fall’s boho vibe, skip the jacket and make a poncho your go-to layering piece for beating the seasonal chill. With jeans and a tee or turtleneck, it’s cozy but has a slightly less expected look than a sweater for weekend brunching and erranding. But I love how even in a chunky knit, it can look incredibly chic in that sophisticated wish-I-was-that-kind-of-working-woman way with a pencil skirt or tailored sheath and heels. The best part is, unlike a jacket that can feel confining with too many layers stuffed under or inadequate (or just basic) without, it’s room leaving you completely unencumbered and yet it’s genius at disguising whatever’s underneath — a ratty tee worn sans bra on a coffee run, a bump you’d like to keep away from prying eyes, or a bulge you’d rather not see. 

Because you’re so cool you don’t even need to put your jacket on. It just…
