Out with outerwear! It’s too early for that puffer jacket. And as for the leather jacket? Well, Jack Frost can easily creep up those sleeves anyway. Instead, why not try a hoodie—a furry one, to be exact. Rihanna wore an oversize black Fenty x Puma version around this time last year. And if you were a mall-crawling child of the 2000s, you might remember a slightly less sleek fur hoodie by Abercrombie & Fitch that was wildly popular. Not your typical pullover dud, the piece was usually tightly fitted with a cropped silhouette and covered in tons of cozy fake fur. If you’re really feeling nostalgic, you can snag a vintage one on eBay right now.
Then again, if the thought of a weather-worn fuzzy hoodie conjures too many bad memories of aimlessly wondering the food court, fret not. There are newer elevated options out in the world. For a punchy take on the look, try a burgundy lamb fur hooded jacket from Henry Beguelin or an earthy brown plush number from Toscana. Not into the real-deal fur? There are chic faux varieties as well, including one in a shocking shade of purple from J. Valentine and another in green from MGSM. Whatever you choose, you’ll be bracing the cold in style.
