Yahoo News The affordable faux fur coat brands you need to know about
A faux fur coat is a fashionista's winter wardrobe staple.
Whilst outerwear silhouettes and colourways change year-on-year, a fluffy coat never fails in the style stakes. Not to mention, it keeps you nice and cosy throughout the colder months.
Although in the past, luxury brands have championed real fur, over the last 12 months many have taken a more ethical approach by abandoning animal products.
Numerous designers, including Gucci, Burberry and Versace, have turned fur-free, making the search for that fantastic faux fur coat even easier.
Whilst you can find a comprehensive list of fur-free designer brands here, if your budget doesn't stretch to a £3,000 for a single AW18 outerwear item, here are the affordable brands which are cruelty-free and look super-luxe.
