Marie Claire editors left our first meeting of fashion month with a unanimous personal style decree: We all wanted to spend the chilly February runway season bundled up in our best faux fur coats. Street style at Copenhagen Fashion Week this week had the exact same idea.
The first wave of street style out of the Danish fashion capital overflowed with outfits proving this type of coat’s worth. Neutral or colorful, cropped or grazing the sidewalk, the best faux fur coats balance deep winter wearability and better than any other outerwear. Taking in the runways, I was also reminded that faux fur coats have more wardrobe endurance than a -core aesthetic TikTok trend. (Though some versions are undeniably mob wife-adjacent.) The first fall/winter 2024 collections out of Copenhagen featured every form of faux fur coat, from fluffy-all-over wraps to leather trench coats punctuated with faux fur sleeves. These styles weren't too dissimilar from the ones guests wore in the front row, meaning that they're eternally on-trend.
