What is a teddy bear coat?

As the name suggests, the texture of a teddy bear is like your favourite childhood toy and imagine that being wrapped around you? Just like a warm hug, a teddy bear coat is not only one of the warmest winter coats you can buy, but they’re pretty stylish too.

Usually made of faux fur to resemble a teddy bear’s fluff it can come in an array of cuts, from cropped jacket style to longer oversized designs. You can get them in many colours too. Go classic in brown or make a statement in pink, whatever takes your fancy.

And because they come in so many shapes and sizes, it’s easy to find the right fit for you too. They’re not as bulky as other faux fur so generally pretty flattering all round.
