Mongolian Faux Fur Jackets: Why the Curly Look Is Winter 2026's It-Piece
Walk down Brick Lane or through Soho on a cold Saturday and you will see it: the big, curly, shaggy faux fur jacket. It has gone from a vintage-market find to the coat everyone wants this winter, and it is not hard to see why. One jacket turns jeans and a tee into an outfit. This is our guide to the Mongolian faux fur jacket — what it is, why it works, and how to wear it the XSIVA ID way.
What is a Mongolian faux fur jacket?
"Mongolian" describes a look, not a place of origin: long, curly, tousled fur with loads of volume and movement, inspired by Mongolian lamb. The faux version gives you the same texture with no animal fur at all. All three of our faux fur coats are made in long, curly or shaggy Mongolian-lamb-look faux fur — 100% polyester, no animal fur — with a smooth satin-feel lining that slides over denim, knitwear or an evening dress.
Why the curly look is winter 2026's it-piece
1. It does the styling for you
A plain wool coat sits quietly over an outfit. A shaggy faux fur jacket is the outfit. The volume and texture carry the look, so everything underneath can stay simple: straight-leg denim, a fitted baby tee, a pair of boots. Minimal effort, maximum impact.
2. It works day to night
Over a hoodie for a coffee run, over a slip dress for dinner, over a corset top for a night out — the same jacket moves between all three without trying. That is the real reason it is the piece of the season: you get more wears out of it than almost anything else in your wardrobe.
3. It photographs beautifully
Curly faux fur catches the light and moves when you do. On a grey London afternoon it is the difference between a forgettable photo and a post-worthy one.
4. It is the cruelty-free way to do fur
The Mongolian look used to mean real lamb. Ours is 100% polyester faux fur — all of the drama, none of the animal.
Choose your colour: Pearl, Snow or Glacier
Every XSIVA ID faux fur jacket is £158, sized S to XL, with a relaxed fit that is true to size.
- Pearl Curly Shaggy Faux Fur Jacket — curly champagne faux fur with an oversized spread collar and an easy open front. Dense and voluminous, with serious warmth. The one that makes jeans and a tee look styled.
- Snow Shaggy Faux Fur Collared Jacket — ivory shaggy faux fur with a wide fold-over collar and a discreet front closure, cropped just below the hip. Cloud-soft and instantly dressed-up — our take on the faux fur collared jacket.
- Glacier Shaggy Faux Fur Lapel Jacket — powder-blue long-pile faux fur with soft notched lapels and a relaxed open front. Airy, light and comfortable — a pastel that lifts grey London days.
How to wear a shaggy faux fur jacket in London
The weekend uniform
Pearl, wide-leg jeans, a ribbed baby tee and a studded belt. Add trainers for Portobello, or swap to boots for Sunday lunch.
Tonal ivory
Snow over cream knitwear and light denim, with silver jewellery. Clean, bright and very expensive-looking.
Soft pastel
Glacier with a lace-trim top and a mini skirt. Romantic, a little Y2K, and made for the camera.
Party season
Throw any of the three over a satin cami or a tulle dress. The volume of the fur balances a slim, sleek silhouette underneath — the classic party-season cover-up.
Finish it with the nails
Every XSIVA look comes with matching press-on nails. Try Plum Cat-Eye Coffin with Pearl for a vampy dark shimmer, Molten Chrome Stiletto with Snow for a darker edge, or Cherry Rhinestone French with Glacier. There is only one set per design, so once a set has gone, it has gone.
Caring for your faux fur jacket
Spot clean only and brush gently to keep the curls and pile fluffy.
