5 Faux Fur Jackets to Help You Channel Your Inner North West
Photo: © 2015 FameFlynet, Inc - Beverly Hills, CA, U.S.A.1/7North West may only be 2 years old, but she’s already making headlines as an icon all on her own. It’s only natural when you join this world as part of one of the most fashion-forward families out there. Whether she’s skipping along to ballet class or making the kinds of faces that would make dad (a.k.a Yeezus himself) proud, one thing’s for sure: she’s doing it in style. She’s even managed to earn herself a few shoutouts on her mom’s app — forget landing a cover, that’s the true definition of #2016goals.
But what if you weren’t born into such a swagged-out family? Could you ball on a budget? Oh, yes, you can. While Nori was recently photographed wearing one of the new furs her dad bought her for Christmas, you don’t have to resort to the real deal when it comes to a plush look. Faux fur looks just as luxe as its nature-made counterpart — and it comes cruelty-free.
Pair your new topper with washed-out jeans and Chucks, as North did, or throw it over your New Year’s Eve dress. Kanye may have boasted about a Star Wars fur — yeah, he was rockin’ Chewbacca — you can keep up with the Kardashian-Wests, stay cozy, keep a clear conscience, and best of all, shout "Do you see this coat?!" at anyone and everyone who questions your sartorial genius.
2/7Though we don’t recommend taking faux fur out in the rain — seriously, it gets matted like crazy — this one features a hood that is so snuggly warm, you’ll be really, really tempted.

3/7If you like your coats fluffy, this is the one for you. It could easily double as a blanket or pillow if you’re stuck traveling after the holidays. Plus, the realistic color could fool even the most discerning of Instagram followers. (Oh, and did we mention that it’s on sale?)

4/7Of course North’s aunts Kendall and Kylie Jenner would be looking out for you — and this time, in an unexpectedly fun bright blue hue. (That’s one way to reassure everyone that yes, it’s faux.)

5/7If you live in a climate that’s a little more…well, summery, even in the dead of winter (just like the Calabasas-based Kardashian-Wests), may we suggest an option without sleeves? This DKNY faux gilet will make any outfit that much chicer. And best of all? It comes in Kardashian-approved black.

6/7If all of this is too much fluff for you, there’s always the option of a chic accent. This puffer coat comes in three colors... and the ivory version would go perfectly with North’s wardrobe — and especially that iconic white ballerina moment. But no pictures, please.
