I Found a $35 Version of the $4,490 Designer Coat I’ve Coveted for Months

I’m in a constant state of freezing in which the cold always bothers me from December through March—I’m the anti-Elsa, if you will. In the winter, I need my coats to offer head-to-toe coverage, which is why I’ve had my eye on Max Mara’s $4,490 Teddy Bear Icon Coat, worn by celebs like Beyoncé and Kate Hudson, for months.

Alas, I do not have Beyoncé or Kate Hudson’s bank account, so while I’m still in love with the enviable style, I’ve been searching for a more affordable alternative that offers the same bear hug-like warmth and fashionable statement. What I wasn’t expecting was to find a faux fur coat option that is just as versatile, cozy, and luxurious—and on sale for just $35.

Scoop Faux Fur Oversized Maxi Coat

Walmart

Scoop’s best-selling maxi coat is already sold out in many sizes in the rich dark brown color, but I was lucky enough to test it in tan, which is still in stock (though likely not for long). As an East-Coaster, I immediately put the coat to the test in frigid 25-degree temperatures, and it easily kept me warm outdoors for an extended time. I’m just over 5 feet tall, and the coat covers the entirety of my legs and hits right above my ankles, so cold air has a tough time getting through to my body thanks to the length and the lining.

The double-breasted coat features buttons on either side, similar to Max Mara’s version, yet Scoop’s has three buttons as opposed to just one. It also has two side pockets that are perfect for holding my gloves and small items. Its collar is thick enough to keep my neck and chest warm, but my favorite part of the style is just how incredibly soft and smooth the faux fur fabric is. Every time I put it on, it feels like I’ve wrapped my entire body in an ultra-thick, plush blanket of warmth.

I must warn you, it does run a bit big, so I recommend sizing down if you want a more fitted look, or stick to your true size if you plan to layer it over bulky sweaters. It’s machine-washable for convenience, and I love that it works with literally anything in my wardrobe. I plan to wear it over my festive New Year’s Eve dress, and I’ve already layered it over jeans and a sweater and to elevate a two-piece jogger set.

Many shoppers are equally impressed with Scoop’s maxi coat, including one person who called it stunning and another who said it’s very classy and luxurious. A third customer noted how incredibly soft the material is, adding that it looks much higher-end than its affordable price point. I couldn’t agree more.

Scoop’s popular items tend to sell out quickly, so my go-to faux fur jacket likely won’t stick around for much longer. Don’t miss your chance to grab Scoop’s designer-inspired style in sizes XS to 4X while it’s on sale for a shocking low $35, or shop more cozy jackets on sale from the brand below.
