I don't know about you, but as soon as autumn rolls around, I pretty much retire my jeans and instead let my black trousers do the heavy lifting. Whilst a black trouser and leather jacket pairing is an enduring favourite of mine, and one I return to for its sleek, streamlined finish, recently, I've been coming around to another jacket style that makes the staple look even more luxurious.

Taking my cue from Sofia Richie Grainge, who was just spotted stepping out in L.A., I've found the perfect way to elevate the everyday black trouser. Styling hers with a voluminous faux fur jacket in a soft, pale brown shade, Sofia gave her outfit an expensive-looking feel without overcomplicating things.

Perhaps for its the association with luxury fashion, but faux fur has a way of making every feel more elevated, regardless of its price tag. And with the trend having held its own over the past few seasons, there are now plenty of chic, high-street iterations to choose from.

If Sofia's look has inspired you to rethink your usual outerwear rotation, read on to discover the faux fur jackets worth shopping this season.
