When Fur-Coat Season Arrives, It Girls Will Be Pairing Them With This Denim Trend

By Swedan MargenOctober 9, 2026

Before we know it, winter will arrive, and we'll all be trading our band jackets and trench coats for heavier outerwear, like fur toppers. Although this warm silhouette is timeless and versatile, It girls are already showcasing that a specific denim trend makes the perfect pairing. One fashion person leading this movement is Tate McRae.

In NYC this week to celebrate the launch of her fragrance, Tate 01 Eau de Parfum, McRae was photographed in a fur-coat outfit. She chose a short black style and paired it with a quarter-sleeve white tee and cropped straight-leg jeans. To complete the look, she added pointed-toe heeled mules, retro sunglasses, and a black Miu Miu bag.

Choosing low-rise, cropped straight-leg jeans feels intentional and fresh. While they offer the same versatility as standard straight-leg jeans, the cropped hemline and low waist lend a more modern, polished edge. The shorter length reveals a bit of ankle and highlights statement footwear—like her lace-detailed mules—preventing winter layers from looking overly bulky.
