While fashionistas in the True North are certainly awaiting the arrival of spring, there are a few wintertime pieces which we can’t get enough of. Although we aren’t liking the fierce, howling winds of the great outdoors, winter does offer the perfect opportunity to slip into a furry topper. With early March leaving us hunting for creative new ways to sport fur, take your cues from our favourite stars. Whether your personal tastes lean toward Hollywood icons like Jennifer Lopez or you find yourself coveting model-off-duty style, here’s how to rock a luxurious fur (or faux fur) coat.

Jennifer Lopez

Best known for her superstar style, it’s no surprise that J.Lo is partial to the occasional hint of fur. The eternally youthful 47-year-old diva looks gorgeous in this three quarter length belted beige coat, which features a statement collar. The elaborate fur brings a refined touch to the ladylike piece, while J.Lo’s strappy nude heels complete her outfit.

Kendall Jenner

For a youthful take on the trend, look no further than Kendall Jenner. The 21-year-old makes an effortlessly chic appearance in this cropped camel-coloured and ivory fur jacket. The fitted cut and shorter length are a change from the classic long coat, while the shaggy detail offers visual interest. For a finishing touch, Jenner’s creamy turtleneck, black leather leggings and lace-up booties complement the tones in her furry bomber jacket.

Elsa Hosk

The 28-year-old Swedish beauty is quickly becoming a catwalk sensation, but her ensembles away from the runway are just as inspiring. We love Hosk’s crushed brown coat, which is accented with a large fur collar in a contrasting burgundy shade. Meanwhile, the blond bombshell’s dark tights, animal print purse and black Oxford shoes truly elevate her style.
