It's with a very, very happy heart that we can confirm that bright-coloured XL coats are officially in fashion.
From puffers to Afghans, extravagant outerwear is slowly starting to saturate the streets, particularly as the temperature drops.
One design that will forever remain a favourite among city-dwellers is the not-so-humble fur coat, extravagant and elegant in equal measure.

© GettyFur coats also happen to be one of the most hotly debated garments in the grand fashion wardrobe. Fur coats are controversial due to concerns about animal cruelty, with fur-mongering for fashion deemed an unethical and inhumane practice by many.
Faux fur, while a cruelty-free alternative, is also a contested material, because it is often made from synthetic materials like plastic, contributing to environmental pollution. Critics argue that faux fur's environmental impact can be significant due to the production and disposal of non-biodegradable materials.
Then there’s the question of budget. Real fur costs real money, while faux fur is considerably cheaper. Choosing between real and faux fur could be just as much of a financial choice as an ethical one.
We’d always suggest shopping vintage when it comes to fur in order to get the best of both worlds. However, for those who would feel more comfortable sheathing themself in faux fabulousness look no further.
