Today’s forecast? It’s cold. Well, at least it is in most of the country right now! But luckily one of the hottest style trends still going strong in 2024 is teddy coats and jackets. Faux fur and shearling teddy coats and jackets will instantly elevate your winter outfits adding a touch of style, drama, and glam. These luxe fabrics will keep you warm in the coldest of temps too. You can layer a teddy coat over everything from a loungewear set to an evening gown. It’s basically the “outerwear that goes everywhere” according to Vogue Magazine Winter issue. How’s that for versatility? In today’s For Less Friday post, we wanted to share some affordable ways to slay this fluffy, cozy trend on any budget.
When it comes to staying warm, puffer jackets and coats are another on-trend option. Erin shares some of her favorite brands and styles in this post.
Teddy Coats and Jackets
Length, fit, and fabric are the 3 main elements you want to consider when determining which teddy coat or jacket you’ll wear most frequently.
Length
For the most versatility, and warmth, a longer-length teddy coat will be your best bet. This ensures you’ll be able to top off any of your dresses, skirts, and pants without worrying about a conflicting hemline. But when it comes to wearability in less chilly climates, you could consider a hip-length or even a cropped teddy coat.
Fit
The fit for teddy coats is meant to be oversized. In fact, the more oversized, the more glamorous and on-trend. Think dropped shoulders, enveloping wrap styles, large lapels, minimal hardware, cozy, and fluffy. If you want a relaxed but not super oversized fit, you could consider sizing down one size.
Fabric
As for fabric, shearling and faux fur have different weights, softness, and percentages of wool and even silk. You’ll want to consult the online description for notes about fabric weight and decide if you’re looking for a heavier-weight fabrication or more of a lightweight option.
