It’s about this time in the season when outfits start to feel somewhat repetitive. You’re reaching for the same old combo every day — a toasty sweater layered over a series of shirts, your go-to pair of jeans or cozy sweats and some sturdy snowboots. All that practicality makes it easy to miss warmer days, when getting dressed felt. . . fun. Enter the statement layer: something that adds warmth and personality, elevating even the simplest look with minimal effort.
Lately, that role is being claimed by faux fur sweatshirts, which are quietly popping up across retailers and street style feeds alike. Softer than shearling and undeniably cozy, these plush pullovers channel that rich mom energy without trying too hard. Equal parts playful and polished, they’re proof that a sweatshirt can feel just as chic as it does comfortable. To give your rotation a much-needed boost, we’ve rounded up the best ones worth adding to cart.
