Because there are only two more days until October and it’s officially fall, the crisp weather has slowly begun to set into State College. The leaves are a bright burning auburn, the sun sets just a little bit earlier, and students are beginning to dress for the season. Coats have become as much of a fashion accessory as they are for the practicality for protecting your body from the cold. Popularized in 2019, “teddy bear coats” have become a staple for young women and specifically college students because they are comfortable but also dress up the person’s outfit. This season in particular I predict we will see a lot more of these jackets because they really became popular at the end of last year right before it became warm again.
These jackets are typically a light brown color made up of faux fur but are distressed to resemble a teddy bear’s fluff. They also come in white, pink, black (which I personally own), and more. My teddy jacket came from Nordstrom BP for about $70. Now however, they can come for a lot less and a lot more depending on a couple of classifications such as length, color, and of course the brand. Even if the quality between a teddy jacket from TJ Maxx and Coach are close to identical, the brand in the fashion industry dies in fact add a couple of zeros to that price tag.

These jackets really are only sensible to wear in the fall because they’re not exactly waterproof. The material on the outside is just as complex if not more as the one on the inside of the jacket. Faux fur, especially this specific one, becomes matted when in contact with water which can become an issue especially in a state like Pennsylvania with rather wet weather. Additionally, the jacket itself is VERY warm and thus a bit problematic to wear in warmer weather. So yes these jackets are only useful for about 3 months of the year but they are definitely worth the purchase.
Many younger social media influencers have promoted these coats as “comfortable and fashionable” which seems to be the new trend between all of these 2020 fashion trends. I personally encourage the purchase of these coats because I think they are a newer fashion item that won’t necessarily fall out of popularity for at least a couple of years in the coming future.

I think these jackets are so cute, reading these made me want to go buy one! I think your prediction is definitely right, I have already seen a few this fall.
OMG! I will say, I do have a teddy bear jacket! One, I do love it and I think you said it perfectly how it spices up your typical fall outfit, however, from experience, they can be overbearing sometimes because they are so big and THICK! I loved reading this post and enjoy all of your blogs regarding fashion. The more I read them, the more I see how I’m just like everyone else- I need to be more unique!
