How to choose the right scarf to match your fur coat
Typically, women pay special attention to the selection of accessories that complete their look. They spend a long time shopping and surfing Internet sites in search of that one accessory that will add the final touch to their style. And, if a certain niche offers a huge selection, the selection process can take more than one season. In order to understand which particular scarf or stole will go well with the model of your fur coat, you need to understand all the possible options for their combination.
A scarf with a fur coat looks great in a classic look. When it is supported by gloves and a handbag in the tone of the pattern that is on it, a harmonious completion of the look is obtained.
A silk scarf looks great with the “auto-lady” fur coat model. The style of this fur coat goes under the belt. Therefore, you can complete the look with flat boots.
For fur coats that flare at the bottom and are not tied with a belt, it is better to choose scarves in the form of stoles. It can be thrown wide over the shoulders and pinned with a bright brooch.
Under short fur coats and fur vests, thin cashmere scarves that can be worn as a scarf look stylish and original. At the same time, jeans and short leather boots will make you the rebel of today.
Yes, there are a large number of options for fur coat models, but there is also a huge selection of scarves to go with them. There are several criteria by which these hats are classified, these are: the material from which the scarf is made, the color scheme and the presence of a pattern or its absence.
Material options for scarves
In our latitudes, for the winter it is better to choose a scarf from warmer materials, so as not to catch a cold on the neck and hair follicles. Silk scarves are best worn in warm latitudes or in early spring and late autumn, when it is permissible to wear short mink coats.
Materials from which scarves and stoles can be made:
- Wool. What could be softer and warmer than this noble raw material. Moreover, it can be either thin merino or fluffy angora. This kind of scarf in the form of a headdress can be worn by both women of Balzac’s age and modern fashionistas. The main thing is to tie it correctly and not use elements of a sports style in the image.
- Cashmere. This noble material is often used for scarves and large square and rectangular scarves called stoles. They can be combined with either a long, floor-length fur coat or waist-length fur coats.
- Linen. Scarves made from this material are not so warm, but they cover our necks well from the wind. They can be natural, light, calm tones , or they can be painted with bright stripes. The modern industry offers a huge selection for every taste.
- Cotton. Most often, such scarves are more spring models. Thanks to their natural composition, they “breathe” well, are light and do not float. Accordingly, in cold winter it is better to refrain from wearing such products.
- Polyester. Not only budget hats, but also expensive branded scarves can be made from this artificial material. Its advantage is that the product does not wrinkle and there are no creases left on the scarf.
- Silk. Noble square scarves, made from this most delicate material, decorate all model shows from time to time. The square scarf is a classic model measuring 90*90 cm or 110*110 cm. But it must have a square shape. It is tied either on the head in a classic way or draped around the neck.
- Down scarves. This is a classic “grandmother’s” scarf, which will also look good with outerwear today. Of course, it is better to combine them with styles and models of classic fur coats.
- Mink. Thin strips of this fur are used to weave and knit various scarves, stoles and shawls. They will look harmonious with fur coats and short fur coats without hoods. An abundance of fur in this case can harm the external image and oversaturate it.
Color solutions
Thanks to technological progress and modern industry, the choice of colors and shades in our world is so great that entire world-class institutes have already been created that deal with this issue. The most recognized in this direction is the Panton Color Institute. It is he who determines fashionable colors and selects combinations for the world's leading designers. Let's look at what clue he gives us in the matter of combining the color of a scarf with fur products.
- If you are the lucky owner of a fur coat made of natural fur and a natural color, scarves in calm colors and shades that are closer to natural colors will look harmonious. Bright colors can make you have bad taste.
- In the case of dyed fur coats in dark, not so bright colors, for example, dark blue, purple, deep green and marsala, you can complement the look with a stole, either from the same palette of shades, or play with contrast. The main thing is to be sure that this color scheme has the right to exist.
- Scarves in nude and pastel shades will look good under light fur coats and sheepskin coats. These are: beige, soft pink, powdery gray, eggshell color, light pistachio and mint, peach, bleached lilac. If you complement your look with a light-colored handbag and gloves, you will be the most tender this winter. And to add a little aristocracy to your look, take a shawl with gold thread!
- For the brave of this world, who wear fur coats painted in bright colors, stoles in fuchsia, the most fashionable now - ultraviolet, blue and even yellow are suitable. The rule here is this: the brighter the fur coat, the brighter the scarf or shawl that you wear. In this case, don’t be afraid to be bold and daring! The main thing is that you like it!
Patterns that are more suitable for fur products
The choice of patterns is as great as the colors. You can watch endlessly and wear a new one every day. The main thing is to follow simple rules in combining patterns.
- If your fur item is plain and devoid of any pattern, then you can safely purchase a scarf with any pattern.
- For fur coats on which the fur forms a pattern due to its own color, patterns with chains and antique brooches and other decorations are well suited.
- Striped scarves and stoles go harmoniously under fur coats cut in the form of transverse elements. Also an original solution would be to complement such a fur coat with a floral pattern.
- If you have animal prints on your outerwear, then it is highly undesirable to use any pattern on the scarf at all!
- And vice versa: in calm models and dark colors, leopard and tiger shawls will look quite organic.
Color selection
A few basic rules that are easy to remember will help you choose the right color scheme:
- To go with a plain fur coat, you should purchase almost any scarf, including multi-colored or bright ones;
- For motley fur, a beautiful plain scarf under a fur coat in discreet shades is required;
- A light or multi-colored scarf with any pattern will always go well with a dark fur coat;
- For light fur, it is better to choose a scarf in pastel colors, with a pattern, and not too contrasting in color.
Fashion accessory
If it is too difficult to make a choice from a wide range, you can use a universal option - a plain scarf for the winter under a fur coat in several tones lighter than the fur. A light color will refresh the face, and the absence of a pattern will not bring disharmony to the completed image.

How to properly combine a scarf with a mink coat
Choosing and wearing a scarf is half the fashion question. The second part is how to combine it with a fur coat. The rule “What is not prohibited is permitted!” applies here. A number of restrictions that you should refrain from if you want to be stylish and have the reputation of having good taste.
- It is highly undesirable to introduce sports elements into the image. A silk bob in combination with a mink short fur coat and a bag that you take with you to the gym is complete bad taste.
- An abundance of massive earrings, a floral print on a scarf and a fur coat will also look too much. If you want to wear a scarf with flowers today, it is better to choose smaller decorations. When you prefer large earrings, wear plain scarves and stoles.
- Using more than 3 primary colors in an image does not look harmonious. A fur coat is one color, a stole is another and a handbag is a third, then gloves and boots should support one of them with their shades.
These are the most important warnings and instructions on the issue of combining head scarves with outerwear in the form of fur products. Of course, if you are the owner of a refined taste, there are no boundaries or restrictions for you.
How to tie a scarf beautifully
Definitely, tying a scarf in a stylish and unusual way will attract a lot of curious glances from others. There are many options for tying or twisting a scarf on your head, but not all of them are well suited in winter. When choosing a tying method, it is important to understand that the crown must be closed.
- Option one is called “Alya Grandma”. The most trendy and fashionable recently. The square scarf is simply folded in half and tied under the chin.
- The second option is a derivative of the first, only the ends are not tied under the chin, but intersect in this place and are tied at the back.
- Option three is a turban. We place a scarf or a thin stole on the forehead, twist the ends and wrap them around the head and tie them wherever the soul desires: in front, side or back.
- You can wear a scarf in the form of a bandana. And this will be the fourth suitable option on this topic. Everything is elementary and simple: place a scarf on your forehead and tie the ends at the back at the lowest hairline.
What scarves go with sheepskin coats?
The scarf you choose should add an additional accent to your look, so you should pay attention to what material it is made of. A scarf should make your look airy and sophisticated, so you should choose lightweight items for your sheepskin coat that won’t weigh down your look. Silk, chunky knitting, cashmere, fine wool, and even a non-standard combination of fine wool and silk thread are perfect.
- If the sheepskin coat has a collar, then a scarf made of mink or arctic fox will be in place, which will simultaneously emphasize the upper part of the sheepskin coat and neutralize the sharp transition in materials.
- Also, accessories with tassels 5-7 cm long and fringe 3-5 cm should not go unnoticed.
- The decor on the product canvas should be laconic and kept to a minimum.
- It is worth abandoning bright and multi-colored prints, embroidery, beads and sequins.
Combination of shades and textures
So, how to wear a scarf with a sheepskin coat and which scarf is suitable? Such a thing as a sheepskin coat should not be complemented with an accessory of a catchy color . Pastel colors and a combination of several colors would be more appropriate. In any case, the color combination with the accessory should be based on the base color of the outerwear.
The easiest way is to match a scarf to a black sheepskin coat. An olive scarf, powder or marsala would be perfect here.
Cream, beige, black or mustard will harmoniously combine with a brown sheepskin coat.
For grey, you should choose saturated colors. It could be blue, red, white or a bold choice in fuchsia.

How to tie a scarf on a fur coat
A scarf tied around the neck over a fur coat looks good and stylish. This is often done in order to hide a woman’s delicate neck from the wind.

Light scarves can be tied in the form of a beautiful bow around the neck. If there is no collar on your fur coat, you can fold the scarf in half and wrap it around your neck, threading the ends into the resulting loop. Small and short, you can simply throw them around your neck and thread the ends into special rings for scarves. The “pioneer tie” option has also not been canceled.
