Welcome to another new series here on Midtown Magnolia: Tuesday TrendDay. On #TT you can expect to find info about a current trend, how it’s being worn, and my thoughts on it – take it or leave it?

First up, the fuzzy coat trend, also known as the furry coat or teddy bear coat. Most bloggers have dived head first into this trend, and who can blame them? A lot of the fuzzy coats out there are extremely warm and come in some fun colors and materials.

So, what do I think? Would I take it or leave it? If I had to choose I would have to say leave it and here’s why:
  1. I don’t think this trend will last past this year. The fur versions, yes (fur will always be in style), but not the teddy bear / fuzzy styles.
  2. A coat is an expensive piece of clothing to invest in so why spend the money on a trend that won’t last. Typically, the alternative would be to buy this piece at one of the fast fashion companies like Forever 21 or H&M, but with this style coat you run the risk of it looking cheap.
  3. While these coats are fun and very warm, there are other fun, warm, and timeless options out there. Buying a classic wool car coat or pea coat in a bright color is a fun way to spice up your outerwear attire.
I will say these bloggers wear the trend well and definitely make me consider purchasing one, but thinking long term I’ll leave this trend for now. Happy Tuesday TrendDay!
