Faux fur coats have earned their reputation as expensive high-fashion items. After all, faux fur adds that hint of old-school, high-society charm that people have loved since real fur was the talk of the town. Thanks to years of technological advances, contemporary faux fur looks remarkably consistent with the real thing. Add to that its resolving fur's ethical concerns, and it's easy to see why faux fur is here to stay.

The vast majority of faux fur coats get their name from the lining on the hood, though some shag jackets are available. One important factor to consider is the hood. While attached hoods won't get lost, faux fur may get damaged if it's in the wrong terrain. On the other hand, you can take off a detachable hood when your neck's too warm and there's not a cloud in sight.
Some fur coats look as though they have hoods when actually you're looking at the fur trim on the neck. Make sure you read every detail in the product description before you make a choice.
There are plenty of realistic-looking kinds of faux fur that are based on practically any hide you can think of. The fibers that create the fur aesthetic should withstand weather, wear and washing while keeping their form without matting together. Look for natural tones, neither too vibrant nor abnormally dark.
There are plenty of low-cost options, from well-made bargains well under $100 to fashionable name brands under $200.
