Every Fashion Person I Know Is Wearing This One Outerwear Trend Right Now
This year, we’ve seen a big resurgence in faux-fur coats. Conversations about the piece picked up as the "mob wife" aesthetic took over on TikTok and beyond. The look takes inspiration from on-screen characters like Carmela from The Sopranos who wore pieces like extravagant faux-fur coats. Like many momentary social media-driven fashion trends, we didn't anticipate that it would have a lasting impact, but it's impossible to deny the prevalence of furry pieces on the street style scene, in Instagram outfit posts, as well as on the fall/winter 2024 runways.
In short, it seems like every fashion insider suddenly has a faux-fur coat in their closet. The major presence of the piece on the fall/winter 2024 runways demonstrates the longevity of the trend as we expect demand for the piece to gain even more momentum later this year.
