The Upper East Side Faux Fur Jacket is winter outerwear built to be looked at. The faux fur is dense and soft with a deep pile, finished in an intense black that reads as texture rather than a flat block of colour. The overall effect is deliberately rich: this is a jacket made for evenings and events rather than a coat to disappear into.
The cut is cropped and voluminous, which is the detail that makes it work. Ending at or above the waist, it balances high-waisted trousers and skirts rather than cutting the line, and the volume through the body gives it presence without adding length. A high funnel neck collar frames the face and adds warmth at the throat, while a discreet front closure keeps the front line unbroken.
Faux fur is unforgiving of bad storage. Hang it on a broad hanger with room on either side, never fold it or press it into a packed wardrobe, and shake the pile out after wear to restore loft. Spot clean rather than machine washing. Available in black across a range of sizes. Stocked at Northsilk.
