I have faux fur trim around a couple of my coats, and of course I always research that it really is faux before I buy it, there's just too much cat and dog fur around now that claims to be 'faux'. I don't think it looks tacky and it definitely is warm! This is one of the main reasons why I really don't understand why real fur is still around, you get the same look without the needless suffering, and usually for a lot less £s aswell.
