12 Plush Teddy Coats To Wear This Winter

It’s been ten years since the iconic Max Mara Teddy Bear coat made its debut on the runway, and the style is as popular as ever. It has since spawned countless dupes in an endless array of styles and a rainbow of colours for all tastes and budgets.

It’s easy to see why plush fleece coats remain a wardrobe staple season after season. The best teddy coats are warm, comfortable and incredibly stylish. Trust us—they’re winter’s real MVPs.

How to style teddy coats

A plush teddy coat might look bulkier and more intimidating than a long winter coat, but it’s an incredibly versatile piece that’s surprisingly easy to style. It can be paired with anything, from jeans to party dresses.

If you’re looking for a more laid-back approach to the trend, embrace a cropped moto jacket silhouette. The short-length teddy coat works especially well for those who wear a lot of high-waisted pants and skirts. For a timeless coat that will outlive countless trend cycles, a classic caramel-hued long-length coat is the way to go.

A teddy coat is also a must-have for the holiday season, as it brings an additional touch of luxury to sparkly ensembles and helps dress up casual outfits.
