Lily Allen is back, and we feel like we’ve hit the rewind button and ended up in the noughties skipping around LDN town in babydoll dresses, chunky Doc Martens boots, laced in pearl necklaces and a beehive tall enough to touch the ceiling. 

However, this time our wardrobe is a lot more chic – thanks to the singer-songwriter.

Last month, Lily was pictured gracing the streets of New York wearing a leather midi skirt, weighty round-toe boots, a camel knit jumper and the piece de resistance – a chocolate brown faux fur jacket.

We know what you’re thinking, it’s Lily Allen, it will be designer and out of our budget. Well, the jacket is actually from high street fashion brand hush. The exact item in question is hush’s Freya Faux Fur Coat in chocolate brown, which fetches £180.

Freya Faux Fur Coat

Crafted from polyester, this faux fur coat is shorter in length, as it sits just on the hips. It features a collar neckline, side pockets, and a hook fastening if you want to stay warm. It is available in three sizes: XXS/XS, S/M, and L/XL.

However, this design is hot property, as it keeps selling out.  So, we have made it our mission to find affordable alternatives to get the Lily look for less.

New Look Dark Brown Faux Fur Shawl Collar Jacket

This short jacket looks far more luxurious than its £40 price tag. It boasts a long chunky lapel collar that runs down the body of the jacket. We love the deep chocolate brown hue, which is perfectly paired with any tonal outfit.

BUY NOW FOR £40 (WAS £59.99)

River Island Brown Short Faux Fur Jacket

This polyester design looks like a seriously good version of a real faux coat, it had us fooled. The short length, combined with the chunky collar makes this coat look even more elevated. But be quick as stock is selling out fast.

BUY NOW FOR £69

M&S Faux Fur Aviator Coat

If anyone knows how to do jackets, and well, it’s M&S. The proof is in the pudding as sizes are selling out fast. This coat offers the fur-like texture, a short collar and zip front fastening.

BUY NOW FOR £85

Topshop Faux Fur Stripe Zip Thru Bomber Jacket

If you are after a slightly lighter brown fur coat, this is a chic alternative to opt for, yet equally as versatile. The bomber style is more of a relaxed boxy fit, and perfectly paired with denim jeans and Uggs, or a satin midi dress and heels.

BUY NOW FOR £71.50 (was £95)

ASOS COLLUSION Tipped Faux Fur Short Jacket

This short faux fur coat jacket features a longer fur than the hush design, but don’t fret it’s still a smooth and luxe finish, not scraggly matted fuzz.

BUY NOW FOR £49.99

Kitri Noor Dark Chocolate Faux Fur Jacket

If you are looking for a classic fur jacket with a few modern twists? This is the must-have. The fur design is short in length, boasts a deep collar, and buckle front fastening, which gives that contemporary finish we love about our trusty borg coats.

BUY NOW FOR £185 (WAS £215)

A&F Short Faux Fur Coat

While £135 may seem like a hefty price tag, if you are an Abercrombie & Fitch member, you can see the price drop to just £108.While it is short in length, the hem ruches in to create a balloon-like silhouette and a relaxed finish.

BUY NOW FOR £135

Mango Faux-Fur Coat With Lapels

If you want a faux fur coat that isn’t too short, but not too long, this Mango design is the happy medium. It falls mid-way down your derriere to prevent any pesky draughts from creeping down your back.

BUY NOW FOR £109.99

It’s the jacket you’ll want to wear all season, and into the next too.
