Fashion People Are Swapping Bulky Coats for the Cosy Jacket Trend That’s All Over Zara and H&M

There was a time last year when I couldn't go a few days without seeing a new shot of Hailey Bieber.

Whether stepping out for dinner wearing an ensemble that perfectly matched the latest shade of her Rhode lip product, or attending one of the many events that populated her busy calendar, she was a walking stream of endless style inspiration. Then, of course, she welcomed her first child and took a step back from the spotlight. Recently, however, it looks like she's making a stylish comeback.

Returning with the same flawless fashion sense I've come to know and love, this weekend, I spotted the model wearing the specific jacket trend that has tempted me out of my chunky winter coat. Her choice? A chic leather jacket elevated by a cosy, on-trend detail: a faux-fur collar. Encasing her look in smooth leather, the jacket's faux-fur trim detail added texture, dimension and a touch of luxury to the piece, all whilst subtly nodding to the growing faux-fur trend that confirmed she's still in the know when style is concerned.

Of course, faux-fur coats have always been a thing, but this winter, we're seeing more and more interest. Just today, I saw searches for fluffy and furry skirts are up 70%, whilst I've also noted that many fashion people have been wearing faux-fur shoes recently, too. Still, it's the little things that can have the chicest payoff, and that's true of Bieber's interpretation. Wearing her fuzzy-collared leather jacket with a pair of wide-leg jeans and square-toe loafers, Bieber's look was typically polished with a casual edge.

Bieber isn't the only one I've seen make this switch either. From Paris to the streets of London, I keep seeing stylish people wearing this cosy jacket option. Inspired to elevate my winter styling with the chic jacket trend that Hailey Bieber and Parisians like Emmanuelle Koffi are getting behind, below I've curated an edit of the best leather jackets with fur collars (both faux and shearling). Read on to shop them.
