Faux REAL? 20 Fake Fur and Leather Finds

Okay, we know it’s still 90 degrees in some parts of the country, but we’re just getting really excited about the revival of coats and cold weather clothes. When we think “keeping warm,” we think about fur. Now, before you reach for the red paint, hold up a sec. It’s all faux. Actually we take that back… it’s all faux-bulous (sorry, couldn’t help it). These 20 faux fur and leather finds are bound to get you stoked for the eminent cold front headed our way. Eventually.

1. Luxe Faux Fur Boxy Gilet ($130): This is it — your cuddly winter staple that can be thrown over practically anything.

2. Burgundy Faux Leather Pants ($38): Whoa mama! Paint the town (and your legs) red in these sassy skintight pants.

3. Unreal Fur Candy Blossom Coat ($298): Um, did we just travel back in time? Whether you’re looking to channel Kate Hudson à la Almost Famous or Bianca Jagger, you’ll be the most stylish ’70s style icon of them all.

4. Faux Leather Midi Skirt ($119): In our opinion, a girl can never have too many midi skirts. The length is long enough not to spend the day worrying about an exposed behind and short enough to still look fun. Give the trend a tougher edge in faux leather.

5. Mabel Color Block Faux Fur Coat ($995): My oh my, color blocking never looked so cozy. Keep things bright even in the darkest days of winter in this playful, sadly spendy piece.

6. Peplum Top ($20): A little bit naughty and a whole lot of nice — balance out your wild life and your working life with the laser-cut peplum top that kind of has it all.

7. Women’s Military Coat ($90): If all this fur is a little too much for your subdued taste, take it down a notch. Try this military coat with fur only on the hood.

8. Kwiato Crop Top ($102): Yes, it’s white. Yes, it’s after Labor Day. Yes, it’s totally okay.

9. Wayne Faux Fur Coat ($895): Mary-Kate? Ashley? Can we have your autograph? Don’t be surprised if you get stopped for a photo in this frock. It’s dramatic enough to win an Oscar all on its own.

10. Fit and Flare Dress ($98): The leather trim takes this basic black dress from blah to voila. Perfect for work or family dinners, this piece is a great way to wear leather in a sophisticated way.

11. Motel Fudge Leopard Coat ($160): Mix old glamour with new trends in this warm leopard coat that’s totally ameow-zing.

12. Faux Leather Dungarees ($94): The ’90s fashion staple has officially risen from the dead. If you’re not so sure about the trend maybe hold off and opt for a classic denim pair to get you started. But if you’ve been an overall advocate for some time now, here’s a chance to really up your dungaree game.

13. Borg Faux Fur Sweater ($52): Let’s face it: It doesn’t always get fur-coat-cold everywhere. If you’re still dying to sport the trend or want something that’s wearable in warmer weather, try this furry sweater.

14. Vegan Leather Moto Jacket ($80): Sometimes nothing beats a classic. Hit the open road or a rock show and look like the baddest gal in the place.

15. Faux Suede Moto Jacket ($57): Motorcycle jackets look awesome. But they’re definitely not the coziest of outwear. Meet somewhere in the middle with this jacket that has all the iconic moto details.

16. Faux Real Sweatshirt ($82): Fur sleeves seem like an odd choice at first, but we have to say, it’s totally working here. Although we can’t help but wonder if this would create some weird body temperature situations. What happens if you need to put a coat on? Hot arms and a perfectly warm chest, that’s what.

17. Rose Faux Leather Bustier ($25): Who says a leather skirt has to be plain? Take the leather look to a whole new level with this matching floral skirt and bustier.

18. Rusty Denim Jacket ($475): Denim jackets aren’t just for summer nights. This classic, laid-back shearling jacket will keep you nice and toasty with its faux-shearling hood and sleeves.

19. Club L PU Sleeve Swing Dress ($14): You know you want it — a sweet purple mini dress with just a touch of leather.

20. Animal Ear Hood Coat ($152): Somebunny better hand this coat over ASAP!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that I will absolutely eat up any Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Jane Austen's most famous story has everything: romance, sisterly love, and the blueprint for the enemies-to-lovers trope. To this day, I've never read a fight with dialogue as memorable as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and the fact the story eventually gave us THE hand flex in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation? That's just the cherry on top.

If you've been on TikTok for more than a day, you've probably seen the scene, which stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, replayed at different speeds and angles, which is both its own commentary on the female gaze and a testament to how rich Austen's books are. There are countless glances and touches between Elizabeth and Darcy that add so much nuance to their relationship. And it looks like we're getting countless other moments to turn into TikTok edits because, according to Deadline, Netflix is reportedly developing a new a series based on the novel.

Who's in the Netflix Pride and Prejudice cast?

Pride and Prejudice Cast

The biggest question on everyone's minds is Who's going to play Elizabeth and Darcy? We're still waiting on official casting announcements (and for the show to be greenlit in the first place), but according to The Daily Mail, Daisy Edgar-Jones (Twisters) has been sent scripts for the series, and could wind up playing Elizabeth Bennet, a role previously played by Keira Knightley in 2005 and Jennifer Ehle in 1995. This could be the perfect opportunity for Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal to reunite after Normal People, but even if they don't end up playing Elizabeth and Darcy, I could totally see them as Elizabeth's older sister Jane and Darcy's best friend Bingley!

Deadline also reports that Netflix has tapped Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) to write the script for Pride and Prejudice, but other members of the cast and crew are still being finalized.

When is the new Pride and Prejudice TV show coming out?

Nick Wall/Netflix

Pride and Prejudice Release Date

The series would be available to stream on Netflix, and would mark the first time the streamer has adapted a Jane Austen story since 2022's Persuasion, which received a 30 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and led to reviews with titles like Netflix's Persuasion is an absolute disaster and ‘Persuasion’ Is Awful and It’s Also Everything That’s Wrong with Netflix. The report also follows the news that the BBC is adapting The Other Bennet Sister, which revolves around Mary.

With Alderton reportedly behind the scenes, I'm sure the new adaptation will have the same biting wit as the original story, with a modern edge that will attempt to make it more relatable, with (hopefully) enough respect for the original work to make it not feel untrue to the original story.

Pride and Prejudice Plot

Pride and Prejudice follows the Bennet family and their five daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. When Mr. Darcy arrives to town — and Elizabeth immediately dislikes him — she strives to see as little of him as possible. This proves to be a difficult task when Jane falls for his best friend Mr. Bingley.

If you were to ask me about Denver winter, I’d say it’s alright. But if you really asked me about Denver winter, I’d say it makes me want to shrivel up in hibernation and abstain from the outdoors until the temperatures hit the mid-50’s again. I’m not joking when I say my city gets devastatingly cold – we’re likely to see temps in the tens and even sub-zero days once December and January hit. That’s why I’m prepping for the freeze now, with plenty of cozy winter layers, beanies, and of course, fleece jackets. Fleece jackets are an easy one-and-done piece to put on that isn’t a bulky winter parka, since they effectively insulate my body heat. There are a ton of cute fleece jackets out there that don’t sacrifice function for fashion – scroll on for my 11 faves that’ll certainly help you brave the cold!

Parks Project

Parks Project High Desert Wildflowers High Pile Fleece

The high pile fleece on this pullover not only makes it extremely winter-ready, but extremely soft on the skin, too. The two side pockets and button-up collar are perfect for tucking your away cold fingers and face when the temps really start to drop. The elastic cuffs and waistband help seal in even more heat when you need it most. Plus, this eye-catching brown floral pattern earns major style points.

Nordstrom

Barbour Violette Fleece Jacket

This deep green fleece jacket is equipped with plenty of brass buttons to help you customize your look and bundle up simultaneously. It has a fun contrasting trim to break up the color and incorporate that extra oomph your layered 'fits will be craving this winter.

Free People

Free People Hit The Slopes Fleece Jacket

This jacket boasts an easy-to-wear slouchy silhouette that's ideal for layering over long-sleeved shirts and turtlenecks without ever feeling overly bulky. I love the sporty vibe that the nylon patches and multiple zippered pockets give to this piece, allowing you to wear it casually or more formally. It also comes in 16 more colors to suit your personal style!

Nordstrom

Ugg Nikia Open Stitch Detail Uggfluff Fleece Jacket

If there's one thing Ugg has mastered, it's the art of staying warm. If you know the sheer coziness of their signature boots, this jacket has that same exact level of comfort and warmth! I love that the contrasting scalloped trim breaks up the monotony of the brown color on this piece and also helps shape your figure – which is much needed when you're bundled up underneath layers and layers of winter clothing. The drawstring along the waist, side pockets, and standing collar will come in handy for shielding the most vulnerable parts of your body during a harsh winter chill.

Target

All In Motion High Pile Fleece Jacket

This lighter-on-the-body fleece jacket is the perfect garment to grab after an intense workout when it's time to step out in the cold. It flaunts a nice hood to protect your head and neck, plus thick elastic bands along the wrists and waist, which fit snugly against your bod to insulate valuable body heat.

Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi Bacano Fleece Jacket

Cotopaxi truly knows what it means to brave freezing temps – their line of expertly-designed puffer jackets and fleece jackets are ultra-warm, and this fleecy pick is no different! The high-pile fleece material on this style sets you up for success in terms of keeping cold out and warmth in. You'll be surrounded in sheer coziness all season, thanks to the adjustable drawstring waist and high neckline. I'm also a huge fan of the contrasting zippers and retro-inspired patchwork to make any winter look stand out, whether you're hitting the slopes or running errands.

Urban Outfitters

Kimchi Blue Snow Bunny Piled Fleece Zip-Up Jacket

This pick is like a wearable blanket. The soft fleece is constructed to a boxy, relaxed fit that you can practically wear anywhere. It's fitted with elastic cuffs on the wrists and waist, and you can adjust the level of zippered-up-ness (depending on how cold it is) using the two-way zippers along the front.

Nordstrom

THE GREAT. The Pasture Horse Print Fleece Jacket

All summer long, I was a huge proponent of Horse Girl Summer, which is why I'm heavily eyeing this fleece jacket – I can easily take the Wild West sentiment into my winter outfits with it! I love the cozy low-pile fleece material for layering over other pieces, and I also adore the unique details on this jacket, from the scooped hem to the contrasting spread collar. Yeehaw, am I right?!

Old Navy

Old Navy '94 Half Zip

Part of Old Navy's recently-revived 1994 collection, this half-zip pullover jacket infuses throwback flair with modern convenience. The fleece material is soft on the skin and heat-insulating, so it doesn't ever sacrifice function for fashion. The mock neck shrouds your neckline in warmth, which is perfect for extra-cold days. You can also keep your hands shielded, too, thanks to the zippered side pockets. I love this toned-down burgundy color, though it's shoppable in 5 more vibrant hues like blue and yellow.

Urban Outfitters

BDG Taylor Piled Fleece Aviator Jacket

With a chic mix of cream-colored fleece and black faux leather, this fleece jacket is definitely for those who don't like to abandon the 'fit for cold weather. It follows a boxy, aviator jacket-inspired silhouette that provides ample space for cold-weather layering. The fluffy collar brings even more coziness to your look!

Anthropologie

Varley Roselle Half-Zip Fleece

This half-zip fleece jacket is as sweet as can be. I can see it working really well for cozy WFH days in the midst of wintertime! The waistline is loose-fitting, which adds to its comfort. It's fitted with zippers on both sides that you can adjust for the perfect body-hugging look.

  • Taylor Swift will release The Official Eras Tour Book and The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl.
  • Swifties have been begging Taylor Swift to release a book for years now, and it's finally happening!
  • The book and vinyl will release ahead of the final Eras Tour date in December.
Taylor Swift fans have been waiting for the pop star to release a bookafter years of obsessing over her lyrics (and after the entire internet was convinced she was behind the campy, cat-obsessed spy thriller Argylle). Well, on October 15, she announced that we’re finally getting a book — just not the novel we thought she was writing.

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images

“We'll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour this week, which is hard to comprehend,” Taylor Swift says on Instagram. “This tour has been the most wondrous experience and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually. Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night."

The 256-page book (which will retail at $39.99) features all kinds of photos and entries from the singer, which will be a super special look into life during the Eras Tour. And in true Swiftie fashion, the book itself is an Easter egg — 2, 5, and 6 all add up to 13!

The last time we got anything close to "personal reflections" from the singer was when she released four different Lover journals in 2019 with real journal entries from her teenage years. Hopefully the Eras Tour book will have plenty of entries as well.

Target

In addition to the book, we're also getting a vinyl edition of The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, which features bonus tracks like “So High School,” "thanK you aIMee," and “The Black Dog," which will be available to purchase from Target on November 29.

"We’ve been begging for The Anthology on vinyl since April and we’re finally getting it," one Reddit user says. "I’m so happy that I was clowning for this announcement and I was right!"

"Okay but can we talk about your gorgeous these vinyls are?" another adds. "I know we waited a while and a lot of us thought it wouldn't become because of 3AM, but when I saw it was gonna be Target only I feared the worst. But these are STUNNING."

Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management

The Tortured Poets Department helped Taylor Swift become the most-decorated VMAs solo artist in history. Not to mention the fact that at the time of its release, the entire album landed on the Billboard Top 100 — and for the first time, took up the entire Top 14. And as far as the Eras Tour goes, in addition to fans bringing Ticketmaster to courtover the ticket sale "fiasco," the tour became the first time an artist has made $1 billion on a single tour. After launching in March 2023, Taylor Swift's last Eras Tour date is in December 2024.

Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management

"This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December," Taylor Swift said after rumors of the tour extending into 2025 went viral (via USA Today). "This tour has really become my entire life, it's taken over everything, like I think I once had hobbies. All I do when I'm not on stage is sit at home and try to think of clever acoustic song mashups and think about what you might want to hear."

"You have done so much to be with us," she continues. "You've made plans so far in advance. You planned what you were going to wear. You memorized lyrics. You got yourself here. You figured out parking. You figured out transportation, and I want spend the 100th show just thinking about that and living in that moment and being here with you, and just know I appreciate every single ounce of effort that you put in to be with us when this show reaches triple digits in shows. So thank you!"
