Trending Now: Faux-Fur Trims

Plush trims are bringing a touch of opulence to fall dressing. From faux-fur collars and cuffs to bags and boots, consider this your cue to embrace old-school glamour this season

There’s something deliciously decadent and undeniably fun about a plush trim. Faux fur is a key trend for fall/winter ’26 – and one that designers are backing for spring/summer ’27, too with brands imitating faux fur with the most sumptuous materials, including shearling, alpaca and mohair. While a fabulous full-length shearling coat will always have its place, this season, it’s the smaller details that are making the look feel fresh again. This fashion month, we saw the style crowd embracing the look, with Zoë Kravitz and Nara Smith showing how to wear faux-fur trims effortlessly from day to night.

Zoë Kravitz styled her elegant shearling-trimmed Saint Laurent cardigan with a chic lace skirt, while Jennifer Lawrence wore her supersized faux-fur cuffs with jeans – and nonchalant panache

Everyday opulence

For daytime, take a more relaxed approach to the trend. Zoë Kravitz styled Saint Laurent’s shearling-trimmed cardigan with a lace skirt and kitten heels for dinner in New York; but it would work just as well with straight-leg jeans and ankle boots for an off-duty look, too. Elsewhere, actor Jennifer Lawrence looked impossibly cool in a tailored faux-fur-trimmed jacket at fashion week, which she paired with a white tank and jeans. Follow their lead and let the texture of a plush-trimmed jacket or knit by Chloé, Stouls, Rabanne or Loewe do the talking – pairing your favorite with casual separates.

Turn up the glamour

Some occasions call for an extra touch of sophistication, be it a dinner party or a formal daytime event. Nara Smith attended Magda Butrym’s spring/summer ’27 show wearing a faux-fur-trimmed skirt suit by the brand, emphasizing the retro feel with white tights and a kitten heel. Echo her look with Simone Rocha’s metallic tweed jacket from the fall/winter ’26 runway. Alternatively, dial up the glamour another notch with Nour Hammour’s leopard-print coat, keeping the rest of your look black to let the print take center stage. For a sleeker take, try Alaïa’s double-breasted blazer with wide-leg pants and heels, or throw Tove’s leather trench over a slip dress.

The finishing touch

Not ready to go all-in? There are plenty of shoes and accessories that offer an easy (and playful) entry point to the trend. Take Toteme’s pony-hair-trimmed ‘Roam’ tote, for instance, which will add texture to a simple daytime outfit. Try it with a trench coat, cashmere sweater and straight-leg jeans. After dark, tuck Loewe’s shearling-trimmed ‘Flamenco’ clutch under your arm (for the sartorial equivalent of a hug) and style with loose, flowy pants – or clash it against something silky. Elsewhere, shoes are a particularly tempting way to try the trend. Make a statement at dinner in a pair of fuzzy heels by Bottega Veneta or Paris Texas’s mules. For an even cozier take, reach for Gabriela Hearst’s shearling-trimmed ‘Eglantina’ gloves or Nour Hammour’s ‘Dallen’ beanie – both ideal for when temperatures begin to dip.
