Donatella Versace signalled the end of fur for her namesake brand Versace, explaining to The Economist's 1843 magazine, “Fur? I’m out of that. I don’t want to kill animals to make fashion. It doesn’t feel right.”

The latest in long line of fashion labels, Versace follows in the footsteps of Gucci, Tom Ford, Givenchy and Michael Kors who have all recently decided to make anti-fur statements.

With major fashion brands stopping their use of fur, it opens a whole new possibility of faux fur options on the market to get your fix of glitz and glamour while remaining animal friendly. Faux fur provides the opportunity to add bright colours to your winter wardrobe while remaining cosy and you don’t need to break the bank.

From top to bottom, we’ve gathered the best faux fur products on the market to shop right now.

Faux Fur Hooded Jacket

As the weather is set to turn again, wrap up in this pink Burberry coat that can only be described as a pale pink cloud. Fitted with a hood, the jacket is also lined with the British house’s signature check. To recreate this look at a lower cost, check out these high street alternatives. We love the pale pink faux fur jacket at ASOS, Nasty Gal’s oversized coat with panel detailing, H&M and Nicki Minaj’s collaborative unicorn-embroidered option or this Bershka option.

A leopard print jacket is one of those staple pieces that every fashionista should have in their wardrobe.

But if you’re looking for a lower cost alternative, Missguided and ASOS have stylish versions too.
