Celebrities Are Swapping Tailored Coats for '70s-Inspired Fur-Trimmed Styles

Let’s face it: black coats, while sleek and sophisticated, can feel a little safe at the best of times, and downright boring at the worst. Chic? Always. Inspired? Not so much. That’s why I’ve been on the lookout for outerwear that injects a bit more personality into winter dressing. And it didn’t take long for the celebrity style set to point me in the direction of the fur-timmed coat trend.

Within days, I spotted Emily Ratajkowski, Ariana Greenblatt and Sydney Sweeney all styling this nostalgic layer, lending plenty of inspiration in the process.

Emily’s version—a chocolate-brown suede coat finished with a plush fur-trim collar—channelled easy ’70s cool, which she heightened by pairing her look with boot-cut trousers and elegant kitten-heel boots. Ariana, meanwhile, opted for a sweeping, charcoal-toned coat, which, though dark and heavy, was infused with a playful energy by means of the fluffy trim.

Meanwhile, Sydney channelled a distinctly glamorous finish, cinching a belted, knee-grazing coat with an exaggerated fur collar.

Ariana Greenblatt styles a fur-trim coat with pointed-toe shoes and black trousers.

Compared to the sharply tailored silhouettes dominating the season, the fur-trim coat feels a little bit retro and a little bit glamorous in the best kind of way.
