17 Plus Size Faux Fur Coats You Need

by Alysse Dalessandro

As much as it pains me to admit it, winter is quickly approaching. And if there's one thing on my personal shopping wish-list it's plus size faux fur coats. Faux fur is the perfect way to assert a bold personal style while keeping yourself from freezing.

I couldn't help but notice the increase in fur-clad Halloween costumes this year, even among celebrities. I saw a ton of costumes inspired by '90s-era Lil Kim including Karrueche Tran who sported an electric blue faux fur coat as a "Crush On You" Lil Kim. And one look through actress Taraji P. Henson's Instagram around Halloween shows that #CookieForHalloween was very in — which meant that a faux fur coat was a must for many.

But faux fur isn't just made for costumes. Retailers and designers are finally giving plus size women real options and variety when it comes to this outerwear trend. So whether you want to stand out in a pastel rainbow faux fur coat or look sleek in all black, there's a little something for everyone.
