2025/2026 Fall-Winter Fashion Wholesale Trends: The Return of Faux Fur

Market Overview: The Resurgence of Tactile Luxury

Texture is back — and it's selling. FW25/26 officially marks the return of faux fur as the centerpiece of women’s outerwear. After years of sleek minimalism, buyers are rediscovering the power of texture, warmth, and emotion. From Milan to Paris, runways unveiled voluminous coats, cropped jackets, and fur-effect accessories — a new code of tactile luxury defining modern outerwear.

From a wholesale perspective, the numbers confirm the buzz. Leivip.com has recorded stable order volumes in light outerwear and accessories throughout 2025 , a clear indicator of steady retail confidence. For boutique owners, this trend is a golden opportunity: faux fur offers high perceived value, versatile styling, and the ethical edge today’s consumers expect. It’s where emotion meets smart buying.

Key Trend #1 – Statement Silhouettes & Soft Power

Go big, go bold, go plush. Oversized faux fur coats, cropped jackets, and gilets dominate the FW25/26 moodboards. The look is unapologetically dramatic yet wearable — designed for impact in-store and online. It’s a soft statement with commercial power.

Buyer takeaway: combine long, luxurious coats for high-ticket buyers with shorter, versatile silhouettes for daily wear. Pair with clean knits and jeans for editorial-ready looks that boost visibility and sales.

Key Trend #2 – Refined Neutrals & New Warmth

The quiet luxury of color. Browns, creams, camels, greys, and champagne hues take center stage — timeless, rich, and elegant. This palette brings a high-end tone to multi-brand boutiques, encouraging repeat wear and cross-merchandising opportunities.

Buyer takeaway: choose faux fur outerwear in warm neutrals that blend effortlessly with your existing knitwear and trouser collections. These shades are seasonless and translate across markets, maximizing ROI for your winter edit.

Key Trend #3 – Fur-Effect Details & Smart Layering

Luxury in the details. Designers are layering faux-fur trims, collars, and panels across categories — making the look more accessible. Think detachable collars, lined denim, and modular gilets: easy to style, easier to sell.

Buyer takeaway: mix entry-level fur-effect pieces with hero coats to tier your assortment and reach new customers. Complement with faux-fur bags, scarves, or muffs to create cohesive, profitable stories in-store.
