A cropped faux fur jacket built in horizontal bands, so the pile breaks into soft rows across the body and the sleeves rather than running as one flat sheet. That banding is what gives the jacket its shape through the waist. The neckline is left collarless and round, which keeps the volume off your face and leaves room for a scarf or a high collar underneath. The front is left open and edge to edge, so the banding reads straight across the chest.

It stops at the natural waist, so it sits over high-waisted jeans or a dress without cutting the line in an awkward place. The pile is long and soft with darker tips running through the gold, and the sleeves are cut full to the wrist in the same banding, so the proportion holds all the way down the arm. Worn open it stays light on the shoulders, which is more than you expect from a jacket that looks this warm.
