A faux fur coat cut with a long, soft pile that moves as you walk. The tips run darker than the base, so the color has depth in it rather than sitting flat, and the surface catches light unevenly the way real depth of pile does. It is made oversized through the shoulder and body, which is what lets the weight of the fur fall in a soft line instead of standing away from you.

The pile runs the same length through the sleeves and the collar, so there is no thin patch where the coat meets your neck. Worn open, the two front edges drop in one unbroken line of fur from the collar to the hem, which is why it layers so cleanly over a knit or a slim dress. It sits at the top of the thigh, long enough to work as a coat and short enough not to swamp what is underneath.
