Although most of us have already become familiar with the trend of the faux fur jacket or puffer parka, the teddy bear coat is the outerwear choice that is currently making waves. With a soft plush exterior which is reminiscent of a bear itself, the teddy bear coat is the latest way to cozy up this season. If you’re wondering how to rock this trend, look no further than Instagram, where the soft and versatile coat is currently stealing the spotlight. We’ve curated a few leading examples of this reigning wintertime look that will instantly warm you up.

Draped over monochromatic white: There’s no need to combine a statement jacket with an equally bulky sweater, especially if it’s an unusually balmy day. Try layering a peach-coloured teddy bear coat over a lightweight ivory turtleneck, paired with loose matching bellbottoms. A pair of nude shoes and dark aviator sunglasses will help to pull the overall outfit together perfectly.

Athleisure inspiration: If you’re heading out for a casual lunch or running errands, look no further than this look. We are liking the cotton candy pink fuzzy coat, which contrasts well against the baggy grey bottoms and loose sweatshirt. Topped off with a grey knit toque, leather mini backpack and stylish sneakers, this outfit merges athletic and urban style with femininity.

Denim duty: A teddy bear coat in a light beige tone can instantly transform your skinny denim into a cool, chic daytime outfit. Add a black and white striped T-shirt, pom-pom beanie and classic quilted handbag to wrap up your cold weather fashion.
