A natural fur coat is always a significant investment, so choosing it should be taken very seriously. After all, it would be a shame to spend a large amount on something that will simply take up space in the closet and will not make you happy, right? Let's look at what fur coats are on trend in 2021 and how to wear a fashionable fur coat correctly!
Trendy fur coats 2020/2021
Current models of natural fur coats
You need to understand that the fur coats that our mothers wore in their youth have long since become obsolete. At best, in such a product you are unlikely to be mistaken for a street styler running out of a show. At worst, you will look 5-10 years older . That’s why let’s first of all pay attention not to the color or type of fur, but to the cut.
Fur coat robe
Perhaps a fur coat-robe (this model is also often called a fur coat-coat) is the most versatile and “eternal” option.
A fur coat is the most versatile option; it looks great with everything.
The distinctive features of a fur coat are the midi length (this length, by the way, is considered the most complimenting for girls of different heights and sizes), the presence of lapels and a belt.

This fur coat model can be combined with almost any clothing, which is why it is so good. You can wear a dress/skirt, tube boots, grab a structured bag and look amazingly feminine. You can also pair a fur coat with a business suit and go to the office.
TIP: You can also wear it with a tracksuit or regular everyday clothes and go for a walk. The possible stylish combinations are endless!
What are the features of a shirt cut?
A short mink coat with a straight silhouette and a shirt style is gaining popularity due to its versatility and practicality. This model does not restrict movement; it is comfortable to move in it both on public transport and in your own car. The city look is especially relevant in a metropolis.
A shirt-cut mink coat combines simplicity and chic at the same time, and this concept in tailoring fashionable outerwear has been observed for several seasons in a row. Established fashion designers and fashion designers are increasingly turning to versatility and practicality when developing fur coat styles. The mink coat model shirt has the following distinctive features:

Anti-trends of fur coats 2020/2021
You've definitely seen such fur coats in the subway and on the street. They are still sold in shopping centers and boutiques, although they have long gone out of fashion. Classic examples of outdated fur coat models:
By the way, caterpillar fur coats, which are now sold in almost every fur salon, have also long been an anti-trend.
Please note : floor-length fur coats have long replaced midi-length products. They are much more practical to wear and look more stylish.
If you inherited a fur coat from your mother/grandmother that has already gone out of fashion, do not rush to get upset. Now there are many studios where you can alter an old fur coat, update its color and accessories. Believe me, professionals will definitely be able to breathe new life into an old fur coat (in terms of cost, it will definitely be cheaper than buying a new one).

Short sleeve
A fur coat with short sleeves to the middle of the shoulder is not very popular. The unpopularity of this type is understandable: it is both cold and looks somewhat ridiculous in winter.
Another subtype of winter clothing is a fur coat with ¾ sleeves, just below the elbow, which has remained popular for more than the first fashion season.
This is the most versatile type of sleeve, despite its dubious convenience. This sleeve is suitable for a short or medium-length fur coat, for any figure. Temperature discomfort can also be eliminated by wearing long gloves or a warm jumper with narrow sleeves, which adds more sophistication and style to the overall look.
Fashionable prints and colors
Previously (and even now) you could find fur coats in stores mainly in natural shades: black, brown, beige, gray. There is nothing wrong with this, because such calm colors have been in fashion for a long time and will probably not go out of fashion for a long time.
However, now the fashion world has challenged fur coats in boring colors. Designers paint furs in different colors and decorate them with various prints.

As for colors, in the coming season both deep muted colors (cognac, wine, emerald, blue and purple) and light, pastel and even neon will be fashionable (this, of course, is an option for especially daring fashionistas).
BY THE WAY! This year, a very popular technique is when a product seems to be sewn together from pieces of different materials. Fur coats in the patchwork style have already appeared at the shows of fashion designers.

Animal and floral prints never go out of trend. They look great on fur coats and make them less boring.

Just remember that a fur coat with a print is a very accent item. If you create a look with such a product, be careful (if you are afraid of going overboard, choose basic clothes and accessories).
Straight sleeves
The most traditional look. Straight-cut sleeves can be narrow or wide. Recently, designers have been giving preference to wide. On the one hand, this is practical, since in winter you never know what exactly will be under the fur coat: a voluminous jumper or an evening dress. On the other hand, the practicality of this type is questionable; the sleeves do not allow for heat retention along the entire length of the arms.
This is not a problem if you complement the look and give it some chic with the help of long gloves, just above or just below the elbow.
Designers are increasingly complementing the image of a lady in a fur coat with wide sleeves and brightly colored gloves. It is not recommended to combine such a sleeve with a long fur coat; the image will be too massive. This look looks most interesting on a short fur coat, especially if its owner has an elegant figure.
How to choose the perfect mink coat?
If you decide to invest in a mink or other natural fur coat, here are a few tips:
- Pay attention to the presence of protruding and hanging threads.
- Blow on the fur and smell it. It should not smell or look greasy. If you find a product with exactly this type of fur, it means that the fur was not completely dried in production.
- Shake your fur coat. If it rustles, it means the skins were overdried. Such a fur coat will wrinkle and break.
- Pull the lint. There should be no hair left in your hands. If they remain, the fur coat will quickly fall off during wear. If the roots are not visible on the fallen hairs, then the pile will fall out even faster.
- Run your hand through the fur. He shouldn't wear makeup.
In an ideal fur coat, the fur should be elastic, shiny and strong. Do not forget that a high-quality and cheap fur coat is something from the realm of fantasy.
The skins from which the products are made have a purchase price, which cannot be low. Therefore, think twice if they promise to sell you a premium mink fur coat inexpensively.
Advice : many fashionistas often complain that the fur on the shoulders and sides of the fur coat is very frayed. This is due to bags that fit tightly to these areas. If you don’t want this to happen to your favorite fur coat, choose less fitting and heavier bags. By the way, tight belts also often cause such damage.
Combination
Classic-style shoes go perfectly under a straight-cut mink fur coat. These can be high boots with a narrow top and stiletto heels or ankle boots with a wide straight heel. However, this model looks no less attractive with high boots with flat soles.
The main condition for an impeccable look is that shoes should not only be warm, but also made of high-quality materials. Then the whole image will be distinguished by elegance, subtle style and attractiveness.

How to care
Any fur product requires careful care, otherwise it will not serve you for a long time. In addition to its long service life, it is also important how long the mink will retain its original shine and special charm. After all, during operation, fur is affected by many environmental factors: precipitation, sunlight, dust and much more.
That’s why it’s so important for a furry beauty to regularly pay attention to:
- If you get caught in rain or snow, be sure to dry your fur coat with a collar on hangers in a dark room with good ventilation. Do not dry your fur coat near a fireplace, heater or radiator. Also, do not do this in direct sunlight. This can harm the condition of the fur: its structure will change and the color will fade. If drying is carried out correctly, you will need to comb the pile of the product using a metal comb with wide teeth;
- If you have torn a product along the seam, lost a button, or have a stretched loop under it, do not expect a miracle from above, go to the workshop to fix the problem in a timely manner;
- Regularly comb the pile on the fur of the product with a special tool made of metal or plastic to prevent the appearance of tangles and bald patches. Experts do not recommend using a regular comb or suede brush for these purposes, because they can negatively affect the fur coat;
- Do not store a knee-length mink fur coat with a hood folded in a bag with other things. In the summer, it is better to hang it on a hanger and place it in a special case with protection against moths;
- Do not wear a straight-cut mink coat with a collar, otherwise it may lose its shape.

Natural or artificial?
Now popular designers (Furla, Versace, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Calvin Klein and many others) have abandoned natural fur. This is primarily due to cruelty to animals and environmental problems. Let's talk about whether we, ordinary fashionistas, should exchange natural fur coats for artificial ones.

It’s worth saying right away that these two materials have their pros and cons. If you are tormented by an ethical question and want to buy a fur coat that will last you more than one year, then take a natural one.

If you just want to try on a fur coat and just play with it for a few seasons, it is better to give preference to an artificial one. Then the animals’ feelings will not be hurt, and your budget will not suffer much.

Every woman's dream
A mink coat has always been considered a wonderful gift, because such products are distinguished by their special charm and unsurpassed beauty. A correctly selected model of a sheepskin coat made from the fur of this animal can make a woman even more attractive and sophisticated. The iridescence on the fur fibers enchants and delights not only women, but also men. That's why this kind of outfit is so desirable and popular these days.
But in order not to experience disappointment when using a fur coat, you need to approach its choice very carefully. Only high-quality models will serve their owner for more than ten years. And low-quality fur will shed lint soon after you start wearing the fur coat.
How to properly wear and store a natural fur coat?
A natural fur coat is a real treasure that needs proper storage. If you follow these tips, your fur coat will retain its attractive appearance for a long time:
- Clean your fur coat on time
. Natural bristles absorb various contaminants very well, so you need to clean them right away. - Never dry your fur coat with an iron/hair dryer
. This causes severe damage to the fur. - Brush the fur periodically (about once every 1-2 weeks)
. This procedure prevents the pile from caking. You can comb the fur with a special brush or a regular pet comb. - Do not overuse dry cleaning
. Some fur owners take their items to dry cleaning every season. If you don't want to “kill your fur coat” in a few years, don't do it. Experts recommend resorting to this procedure only a few times during the entire life of the fur coat. - Store your fur coat correctly
. It must be stored hanging, the fur coat must be placed in a fabric case (it will simply suffocate in a cellophane case). Don't forget to put moth repellent in the case.
Another important point: natural fur tends to absorb foreign odors. If you are in a smoky room for a long time, your product will smell like it for a long time.
Bell sleeve
The simplest, most convenient and practical look. A bell sleeve is a wide sleeve gathered into a narrow or wide, which is less common, cuff. The most suitable type for a long fur coat.
Women of curvaceous shapes are recommended to give preference to this type of sleeve, which can hide imperfections. The convenience of this type is also undeniable - the arm is closed along the entire length, which allows you to wear even light clothes under a fur coat, without the inconvenience of wearing a warm, voluminous pullover under the fur coat.
