Winter's Hottest Jackets - Faux Leather Jackets

Winter is quickly approaching and for those who do not already have their faux leather jackets, it is time to get serious about shopping. Faux leather jackets are one of the hottest fashion trends this season and there are many jackets to choose from; however, there are some faux leather jackets that are fashionable as well as affordable.

Steve Madden coats are well known for their quality, affordability and fashion and the faux leather jackets are no exception. The Steve Madden Faux Leather Jacket (available at Nordstrom for $68) is a chic, tailored jacket with a zippered front and dome buttons. The curved hem, back slit and back half-belt give this faux leather jacket a great shape. Available in both black and plum. If you prefer a bomber jacket, Steve Madden has two of them this season. The Steve Madden Faux Leather Bomber Jacket ($68, also at Nordstrom) has the great vertical pockets on the chest and the snap-flap pockets at the hips. If you like a cropped bomber jacket, get the Steve Madden Faux Shearling Crop Bomber Jacket ($98). The appeal of this faux leather jacket is the short, cropped style combined with a great vintage appearance.

New York & Company has three faux leather jackets for this season that are simply spectacular. Their Faux Leather Bomber Jacket ($62.96) is the perfect biker-chic bomber jacket hitting at the top of the hip. Front zipper and two snap tabs at the collar. On the other hand, try their City Style Faux Leather Jacket with Knit insets ($62.96) for a biker-style appearance. The off-center zipper in the front and slit pockets add to the appeal of this jacket. Add a little feminine appeal to your biker jacket with New York & Company's Faux Leather Ruffle Biker Jacket ($62.96). It combines two hot trends - ruffles and biker jackets - into one very trendy faux leather jacket with its four rows of ruffles on each side of the front zipper closure.

Montanaco has a couple of faux leather jackets that I love for this season. The Montanaco Women's Faux Leather Brown Jacket ($66.99 on Overstock.com) is a classic jacket that also features a faux fur lining to keep you warm while looking fabulous. The button-front closure, rounded hem and button detail on the sleeves adds an elegant touch to this jacket. Montanaco also has a faux leather jacket with a zip-out hood ($63.96 from Sierra Trading Post). Tailored lines for a classic fit, this faux leather jacket will be a great addition to your wardrobe.

Anne Klein has a stylish faux leather jacket (AK Belted Faux Leather Jacket) available for $119.99 at Macy's. This belted jacket is a little longer, hitting at the lower hip. The tailored fit, notched collar and button flap patch pockets at the hip give this faux leather jacket a very smart appearance.
