Forget Princess Leia and her gold bikini or her white, celestial caftan. And no more of C-3PO’s gilded armor! When it comes to the most stylish intergalactic character of Star Wars, there are no shiny gimmicks or Rebel Alliance–derived looks—hands down, it’s Chewbacca. After all, the Kashyyyk native doesn’t need a costume: He was born with an innately au naturel look—as in, covered with long, shaggy fur. And Chewie’s mane hasn’t gone unnoticed in the fashion-verse: Recently in the #Force4Fashion launch, both Todd Snyder and Billy Reid referenced a trimmed and tidy swathe of the hairy humanoid’s fur in their own coats, while models have long been wearing larger-than-life tufted Mongolian jackets.
And scoring a Wookiee-inspired topper for yourself isn’t so far out of this galaxy, either. From a gray, curly shearling piece by Coach and a cream faux fur, knee-skimming number by DKNY to Sacai’s futuristic, fringe-forward jacket, there’s no better time to adopt the style than in preparation for the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Not a bad way to let the Wookiee warmly win your wardrobe this fall and winter. Above, see 12 coats that stylishly say, “May the fur be with you.”
