The Alpha (Faux) FUR COAT
Providing necessary warmth and the head-turning appeal of a fully styled look, this season’s outerwear sports big shoulders with no shortage of volume. The vibe would look right at home in Carmela Soprano’s late-‘90s, North Jersey closet—if she had renounced real fur, divorced Tony, and remarried a Manhattan hedge fund manager. Long-lined and domineering, the results are immeasurably fabulous—from By Malene Birger’s imitation mink to wide-collar shearlings at Khaite and Nili Lotan, the belted chevron style at Stella McCartney, and Matthieu Blazy’s sumptuous long-haired buttercream shearling, belted and studded with brass “stones.”
