There’s a definite chill in the air. A friendly nudge before winter settles in for her extended nap.

EXPERT PANEL: Prefer a pared back approach? Try faux fur trims and panelling for a less robust silhouette or By Malene Birger’s ‘Hevina’ skirt, spun from wool-blend for a soft finish.
FAUX FUR 2.0: Stella McCartney’s ‘fur-free-fur’ has set the standard for cruelty-free fashion. The brand continues to improve its offering in co-developing KOBA® - plant-based faux fur that helps reduce the amount of virgin polyester used. Watch this space.
A NEW BREED: Scandi brand Arket wins big for its roomy hirsute fleece – a blend of responsibly sourced wool and recycled polyester.
DUTY OF CARE: Keep your faux fur coats in a cold, dark closet away from direct sunlight. Be sure to use a sturdy wooden hanger and allow for breathing room between the garments. Off season? Store in a breathable garment bag to stave off hungry moths.
