Claire Danes stepped out in this season's hottest hue, and we're convinced more than ever that this is the colour we should be shopping for outerwear this autumn/winter.
Spotted arriving for a talk show appearance in New York City, she styled two winter coat trends in one, with a mocha brown faux fur coat, which upped the glamour of her outfit. Teamed with wide-leg tailored trousers and pointed courts, the star looked super cosy and on-trend as she met photographers.
Her tonal brown look is very of the moment, but thanks to the neutral palette, there was a timelessness to it too, and her gently coiffed hair added to the retro Hollywood aesthetic that won't go out of fashion anytime soon.
Shop Faux Fur Coats
It doesn't get much cosier than this maxi-length, faux-fur coat from Mango. A sophisticated, tailored shape underscores the statement texture, making this piece easy to throw on with your favourite jeans as well as more dressed-up gowns and suit trousers. Faux fur is one of the biggest and best winter coat trends for 2025 and this design nails it.
A hip-grazing hemline gives this Zara coat a super-versatile shape, while the brown faux fur adds tons of cosy texture to your wardrobe. Oversized lapels add warmth and create a statement shape, with a rich brown shade allowing this coat to be styled with a variety of hues.
The faux fur of this calf-length coat has a sleek texture for a sophisticated flair. In a deep brown, the elegant design has a retro feel. A simple, round neckline and single-breasted design, it's all about simplicity and letting the faux fur do all the talking.

A chic option for block colour or tonal outfits, as Claire proved with her ensemble, as she played around with a couple of different brown shades to create contrast and add interest, with her dark chocolate brown trousers complementing the lighter hue of her faux fur coat and her warm-toned heels.
