As The Curvy Fashionista editors, we write about stuff we love and think you’ll like, too. We often use affiliate links, which means we receive a small share of the revenue from your purchase. This does not affect the amount you pay for the product in any way, shape, or form.

When that first whisper of cold air hits, some of us don’t just reach for a coat , nope… we make a statement. The moment the breeze blew through? Out came the plus size faux fur jackets, polished wool trenches, bold bombers, buttery leather coats, and of course, fall’s fly wide calf boots.

We were ready, you hear me?!

There’s something about plus size faux fur that just screams drama and decadence — in the best way possible. Whether you’re headed to a holiday party, brunching with the squad, or just picking up groceries (because, yes, we serve a look everywhere), faux fur has the power to instantly elevate your fit.

Why We Love Plus Size Faux Fur

Let’s get into it:

“Faux fur is more than a fashion statement, it’s a power move,” shares plus size stylist and content creator, Joi-Marie of The Joiful Life. “It adds luxe texture, layers without bulk, and gives that instant I’m-the-main-character energy.”

And she’s not wrong. Faux fur brings all the drama, zero of the guilt and these days, the plus size faux fur options are better than ever. We’re talking cropped coats, oversized showstoppers, printed pieces, and bold colorways that don’t just whisper confidence, they shout it.

Fit Tips for Rocking Plus Size Faux Fur

Worried about looking too bulky? We gotchu. Here are a few styling tips to keep your silhouette on point:

  • Balance the volume: Go bold on top with your faux fur, and keep it sleek on the bottom with skinny jeans or a midi dress to streamline your shape.
  • Cinch the waist: Look for belted or drawstring styles if you want a little more definition.
  • Watch your lengths: Cropped faux fur jackets are perfect for petite frames or to highlight your waist, while longer coats bring drama and warmth for those bitter cold days.
  • Layer smart: Faux fur is cozy, but pair it with breathable base layers to avoid overheating.

“Don’t be afraid to size up if you want that true oversized ‘off-duty model’ vibe,” says fashion editor and body confidence advocate at Riley James. “You can always tailor a piece for your shape, but you can’t fake fabulous texture.”

Anywhere and everywhere, honestly. Your faux fur moment doesn’t need a red carpet, just the right attitude. Heading to Friendsgiving? Toss one over a knit dress and thigh-high boots. Doing date night in the city? Pair your favorite fur with a slinky jumpsuit and bold lip.

Even a grocery store run deserves a little glam. You never know who you’ll run into in the frozen food aisle.

Plus Size Faux Fur is Giving Options, Finally

Do you remember when there were barely any plus size faux fur coats to be found? Because we do. And let’s just say, we don’t miss those days. Now, thanks to indie plus size designers, inclusive retailers, and some of the big brands finally getting the memo, we have choices.

And we love that for us.

From classic neutrals to eye-popping patterns, the plus size faux fur scene is brimming with pieces that fit your style and your curves. The best part? You can now find options at every price point, quality level, and size range (though we still want to see more brands go above a 4X; inclusivity is not a trend, it’s a standard).

    1. The Curvy Fashionista possibly, just depends on color, fit, etc. I’m not a patchwork fan and something all white or light colored is out…I’m not cute enough to pretend I won’t get it dirty!
