Let me be honest: this island girl has never acclimated to New England winter weather. Once the temps drop below 50°F, I enter my Faux-Fur Coat Era. Sure you could wear a peacoat, a barn coat… even a puffer. They all have their time and place. But for me, faux fur is it. It’s not a phase. It’s not a passing trend. It’s a lifestyle (PETA friendly of course). And it’s my winter identity. It’s also a collection curated entirely from Dennis Basso on QVC. What did you expect?!?
Every year, without fail, he knocks it out of the park with affordable faux-fur coats that never miss. They’re soft. They’re plush. They keep you warm without looking like you’re wearing a sleeping bag. And the best part? They’re machine washable!
Here’s what I look for:
✨ The Faux-Fur Checklist
✅ Texture matters — we want plush, not crunchy or stiff.
✅ Length depends on the vibe — cropped = playful, mid = everyday chic, long = drama queen and great for evening/formal wear.
✅ Neutrals always win — camel, cream, black, chocolate… they never betray you.
✅ A good collar = instant luxe — trust. Bonus: add a fun brooch for an instant upgrade.
Truth be told, most of the coats in my collection are sold out but I’ll link some new options that are still available currently online at QVC.com.
And yes, before you ask… I wear them everywhere.
✨ Grocery store? Faux fur.
✨ Work? Faux fur.
✨ Holiday drinks? Faux fur.
✨ Running late but want to look like I tried? Faux fur.
✨ Walking through Marshalls minding my business? Faux fur — and strangers WILL compliment you. It even happened this weekend — again.
Here’s the lineup:
1. The Chestnut Chinchilla Queen 👑 (just above the knee)
This one is my everyday glam coat. Warm, plush, and giving “I have my life together” — even if I absolutely do not. The chestnut color is rich, classic, and pairs with everything: jeans, sweaters, trousers, work dresses. This is the coat I reach for when I want to look polished without trying. She’s reliable. She’s cozy. She’s that girl.
2. The Ivory “Effortlessly Extra” Midi 🤍 (calf length, lightweight)
This coat is my holiday angel energy. Calf-length, soft, and lightweight enough to wear while shopping, running errands, or grabbing a peppermint mocha. It floats. It swooshes. It turns sweat suits into “oh she’s chic chic.” Perfect with dresses, yes — but also fab with cute sneakers and a matching set. The easiest way to look rich on a Tuesday.
3. The Deep Green Drama Coat 💚 (so dark it’s almost black)
My favorite.
The plushiest, softest, most winter-glam coat I own. If the other two are the supporting cast, this is the lead actress. She’s perfect for nights out, holiday events, dinners, any moment where I want to show up with a little quiet drama.
The deep green is subtle until the light hits — then it’s like “oh… she’s luxe.”
If winter’s going to be cold… we might as well serve.
The girls that get it, GET IT.
