Women’s short black jaguar faux fur jacket

Long, soft black pile, no collar and no visible fastening. This women’s short black faux fur jacket is as short as a bolero, stopping at the waist, just above the waistband of high-waisted jeans. The name refers to the black jaguar: it’s plain black, with no spots at all.

Cut and finish

The neckline is round and neat, with no lapels. The two front edges meet without overlapping and stay open in every photo. The long, fairly dense pile rounds off the shoulders and covers the sleeves down to the wrist. There are no pockets and no buttons, so the line stays clean. It’s as much a dressy piece as a warm layer, and you’ll find it among our faux fur jackets for women.

Pairing ideas

The first outfit is the one in the photos: a white T-shirt, high-waisted dark-wash jeans with a button fly and black sunglasses. The black and white contrast does all the work. The second, softer version pairs it with a pale pink top and slim black jeans, as in the last shot. In the evening, it covers your shoulders over a black satin slip dress or a fitted burgundy dress, with court shoes. A black faux fur clutch bag held in your hand won’t break the line. Black faux furs differ in pile and cut, and our guide to black faux fur compares them.

Which size to go for

It’s short and straight, so it doesn’t pinch at the waist. Your usual size works over a T-shirt or a shirt. If you’ll wear it over a thick jumper, check the room in the arms above all: compare it with a jacket you already own, laid flat. The range goes from S to 3XL, six sizes in all. Returns are possible for 14 days.

Caring for long black pile

Black forgives small stains, but not heat. Hand wash it at 30°C or below, or on a delicate cycle, turned inside out in a mesh bag. Keep the spin gentle and dry it on a wide hanger, well away from the tumble dryer and radiators. A soft-bristled brush, used dry in the direction of the pile, gives it back its fullness. If the pile has flattened after a winter, follow how to lift a flattened pile.
