You are tired of freezing or looking like a snowman in bulky down jackets, and now, to radically solve the problem of winter clothing, you have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to purchase a good fur coat. Naturally, made of natural fur, so that it would both warm you and delight you with its beauty. The question of choice immediately arises: what fur, style, color?
Choosing a flared fur coat
Furs vary in heat resistance and durability, and many of them are quite rare, such as beaver, fox, and silver fox. Some of the most popular ones today in terms of quality and cost are fur coats made from mouton and mink. The thick fur of a mouton ranks first in terms of frost resistance, and a high-quality mink coat with a thick undercoat is not much inferior to it, and is also very elegant. Mouton is slightly cheaper than mink, but inferior to it in aesthetic characteristics. But now you have decided on fur - mink or mouton, depending on your financial capabilities. When choosing a style, you should take into account a lot: the characteristics of your figure, height, age and even hair color.
How to choose your style?
There are many styles and models of mink and mouton fur coats: short, medium, long to toe; straight and flared, semi-fitted. As a rule, flared mink coats use high-quality fur with a thick down, American and Scandinavian varieties. Among this variety, there are two main options for classic fur coat styles: straight and flared. And if straight styles are mainly suitable for slender and tall girls with a standard figure, then flared styles suit everyone, and this is their advantage.
Mink. Classic. 276 models
Simplicity and elegance are the main motives of the Mink collection. Classic". Our customers’ favorite mink coat model is the “cross-cut mink”, so we have presented many options in this design. It's a winter staple, so it should be versatile enough to go with almost everything in your wardrobe.
A cross-cut mink coat is a fur coat made from longitudinal strips of mink fur. Usually it is sewn from neutral colors: brown, gray, black. Some take risks and buy snow-white. Such a fur coat will have to be dry-cleaned more often than a dark-colored fur coat, but you will also see more admiring glances after it. White fur looks luxurious, from arctic white to champagne.
A black cross-cut mink coat is the most popular model among those who do not like to experiment, but appreciate practical and beautiful things. In our classic collection we offer a variety of black mink models: from the most laconic straight cut styles with full sleeves and stand-up collar to more sophisticated ones. For example, fitted, with a collar and cuffs trimmed with voluminous fur in a contrasting color.
This collection has many styles that are below the knee and have a deep, comfortable hood. In models designed for frosty winters, every little detail must be taken into account. To prevent the owner of a fur coat from freezing in the frosty winter, the sleeve should not be too wide, and the hem should reach at least the middle of the knee, otherwise a piercing wind will blow under the fur coat. The thick fluffy collar and hood provide additional protection from the cold. For example, a cross-cut mink with a rich sable color hood will warm you up to 20-25 C in cold weather.
In addition to cross-cut mink, in the collection of classic fur coats, you will find elegant models sewn using the embroidering and unraveling techniques. There are models that emphasize the figure, and looser options. There are models in dark chocolate color. Interesting cut: short sleeves, dropped shoulders. This fur coat is a stunning addition to any evening outfit. We recommend trying to pair it with wide black trousers that flare from the hip.

Basic models and styles of flared fur coats
- The classic model is a ballet flat, democratic or youth style. This is a fur coat of medium length, to the middle of the thigh, to the knee or slightly lower (80 - 100 cm). With a moderately flared back and a refined straight shoulder line. Ideal for active, business women, allowing you to move freely around the city and travel in public transport. The sleeve is straight, not wide, sometimes with a drawstring. Any collar in such a fur coat is suitable: English, apache, stand-up, shawl, Chanel. Very often this model comes with a hood - a large “cobra” type or a small one. Sometimes this model is worn with a belt, but more often - without. Pockets are often slit.
- Bell and butterfly. These are, as a rule, shorter models to mid-thigh, and more flared. Their sleeves and bottom look like the wingspan of a butterfly. The bottom of the bell model has the shape of a bell (photo). These models are more suitable for those who want to look original and romantic.
- Cleopatra. These models are usually sewn to mid-calf and slightly flared along the front and back, which are not cut off at the waistline. Cleopatra is slightly expanded downwards. A distinctive feature of the model is the assembly of cut parts from pieces of fur of different sizes and quality. Cut scraps (paws, ponytails) are often used in finishing the hem and bottom of the sleeve, which gives the fur coat a luxurious look. Women who want to “shine” in the world will certainly want to purchase such a model.
- The youth “spray can” model has a wider flare on the back and front, a shortened trapezoid of short length to the knee and above. A drawstring is often used at the waist, along the hips.
- The Chanel trapezoid model repeats the silhouette of Coco Chanel's famous coat - shortened 3/4 sleeves, a small flat collar, the sleeve is also made in the trapezoid style, worn without a belt.
- Manto and godet are other options for flared fur coats. The coat can be shorter or longer, but the silhouette is a strict trapezoid. Godet - a long trapeze silhouette, made of inserted flared pieces along the bottom (photo).
All of these styles can have a wide variety of collars, which were discussed above (except for the Chanel style). The method of cutting is also common: as a rule, not from whole skins, but from fur fabric dissolved. This creates a beautiful flowing silhouette in such models, but the quality of the seams is very important here.
Mouton fur coats are the main alternative to mink fur coats in terms of price, durability and popularity. Therefore, let’s say a few words about flared mouton fur coats.
Basically, flared fur coats made of mouton are the same models: trapeze or ballet flat, swinger, cleopatra, manteau (photo). Features: flare from the chest, medium length (80-100cm). Sometimes it is a shortened Chanel model; also, a fur coat slightly flared at the hem with a mouton belt can be cut off at the waist (see photo). The silhouettes of mouton fur coats are distinguished by a more strict style, since mouton fur is quite heavy and dense compared to mink, and “flying” silhouettes such as a butterfly or a bell will not work. Often a characteristic detail of mouton fur coats is a rich collar made of mink, arctic fox, fox, as well as decoration of the hem and sleeves with embroidery and rhinestones.
What to wear with flared mink and mouton fur coats?
Long models suggest richness and classic accessories: high-heeled boots and a bag should be of good quality, made of leather or suede. The bag is small in size, but not over the shoulder, so as not to damage the fur. If the fur coat does not have a hood, any hats are suitable (fur hats, berets, hats, scarves or scarves), the only condition is good quality and harmony with the fur coat.
For short flared models, due to their democratic nature, any model of shoes and clothing is suitable: boots with both high and low heels, a skirt or trousers, and even jeans. The main thing is to comply with two conditions: that the skirt or dress should not be longer than the length of the fur coat and that all accessories must be of high quality and match the rich image of your fur coat.
So, flared styles of fur coats have undoubted advantages; they remain always relevant and never go out of fashion. Which model you choose is up to you, the main thing is that your choice pleases you!

What clothes goes with a short flared fur coat with a hood?
As noted above, a short flared fur coat with a hood is most successfully combined with narrow skirts of various lengths, from extreme mini to equally extreme maxi.
- Trousers , classic straight or skinny (but not jeans), can make up an energetic business ensemble if the flare of the fur coat is insignificant.
- In such feminine models, where the flare approaches the half-sun cut, short and medium-length tight-fitting skirts are preferable: without disturbing the style of the set, a narrow skirt balances the figure. Midi length is acceptable for formal occasions.
- A spectacular tapered dress , the bottom of which is not loaded with any decor, with a flared fur coat will create a luxurious Hollywood look: the bottom of the fur coat in this version will play the role of a fluffy peplum.
Fabrics traditionally used in evening fashion have an expressive texture and go well with mink fur.

Fashionable styles of mink coats: photos and style secrets
No matter how tempting the trends may be, you need to choose your own model solely according to your taste. Taking into account not only the characteristics of your figure, but also your lifestyle. Mink is that rare fur that adds virtually no volume, especially since sheared, plucked and laser-treated textures are actively used this season.
Thanks to this fur processing, fashionable mink coat models become more flexible and lighter, not only in weight, but also visually. If you choose a model for everyday wear, and not for special occasions, then it makes sense to pay attention to such fur coats.
Sheared fur gives more room for design imagination, which means for elegant and modern silhouettes. Of course, the classic looks very modern in the “cut” version. Very stylish models in the “sport-chic” style, “retro” stylizations, for example, the 70s, avant-garde and free forms - today any designer’s imagination is relevant.
Except for one thing - the use of dyed furs. Trends are inexorable, in this, and obviously in subsequent seasons, only furs of natural colors are in fashion. Fortunately, there are many of them, so you only need to choose according to your own taste.
Such models, especially pastel or neutral natural shades, are not only “urban chic” style items today.
They allow you to create an individual image that can be varied to suit your own taste. Such models become an indispensable part of a fashionable winter wardrobe, and not a dominant and ostentatiously expensive part of it. You have probably been perplexed more than once by an expensive floor-length coat on a lady in a crowded public transport. This approach is not in fashion today! Notice how the fashionable styles of mink coats in these photos create the tone of a stylish look:
Do not lose sight of such a bright and very relevant technique as combination. It is fashionable to combine cropped and smooth fur, different textures, adding fluffy and expensive furs to the mink.
Finely selected color combinations look especially stylish. In this season's collections, fur patchwork has emerged as a serious trend - miniature models assembled from mink fur of different colors. Such fashionable styles of mink coats as in the photo lead the trends:

The most fashionable mink coats 2021
Exclusivity has become the fashion motto of this season. Mink is a fairly popular fur that has become too widespread in recent years; it is becoming more and more difficult to surprise your friends with such a fur coat... The world's best designers are sensitive to moods and fashionable mink coats of 2021 are the best proof of this.
Classics occupy their invariable place in trends. Looking conservative, aristocratic and slightly detached from fashion is a special style in which models of the “fur coat” or “french coat” style will help you realize yourself. A straight silhouette, with a well-emphasized shoulder line and a miniature collar, the mid-calf length model is a real standard.
But only if they are made from expensive and rare fur. The secret of such models is obvious and complex at the same time: the form is too simple and the “filling” is very expensive. In this case, the bet is on rare, exclusive furs of original colors.
This year's trends are led by pastel, creamy-powdery and blue furs. The range of delicate brown tones is very popular, but blue-black shades have lost their positions in trends this year. A fashionable mink coat made of expensive fur, like the one in the photo, confirms the rules of high style:
A simple cut and rare exotic fur are an impeccable bet on style, which, as we know, is above frivolous fashion. But if you already have such a reference model, it’s time to pay attention to the trendy styles of mink coats 2016.
“Globalization” is a term from the vocabulary of politicians, but, oddly enough, it has the most direct relation to fur fashion today. Mink is becoming cheaper and in many ways more versatile than other furs, which means it acquires special qualities for designers. It is used to create the most original and sometimes experimental silhouettes aimed at stylish urban looks.
The fur is mercilessly cut and plucked, achieving a plastic velvety structure and a special play of shades that such processing gives. It is difficult for an inexperienced fan to identify classic fur in such a model.
The trend is designed for youth collections, which definitely means that fashionistas of any age should definitely use it. Pay attention to these photos of fashionable mink coats, how stylish and original the models look:
Reflection of time
When choosing a fur coat, it is important to consider not only its style, but also its length. After all, it creates a certain mood and emphasizes the character qualities of its owner.
The length of a mink coat is 80 cm, the photo of which is presented on this page, can be considered “mini” (especially if its owner is tall). But this does not mean at all that such a product is suitable exclusively for a young girl.
In large cities such as Moscow, the fast pace of life requires mobility and ease, regardless of age. Therefore, the canons of fashion do not place any restrictions on this issue. But, if this length still seems too short, a 90 cm mink coat will be an excellent solution to the problem!
What to wear with a classic style? Selecting accessories
- A hat . Fur hats will look good under classic mink. They come in a wide range of options. A knitted hat to match the fur coat will also look harmonious and appropriate. The wool beret also matches beautifully. In this case, you can choose an option in tone or in a contrasting color. Powdery and red will look impressive - an option for the most daring. To complete the look, you should give preference to matching lipstick. Many fashionistas wear a silk scarf on their heads. But this option is suitable only for those who do not spend much time outdoors. But if the fur coat model requires a hood, then you should use it instead of a hat. In this case, it is important to cover your neck with a warm scarf;
- Snood or scarf. Depending on the collar, it is worth choosing a scarf option. A snood will look good for a stand; a model with a large knit looks especially good. But the scarf will suit almost any type of collar. The scarf itself can be knitted, silk or wool;
- Bag. When choosing a bag, you should decide on an option that will go well with the fur coat and shoes. It’s worth noting right away that a fur coat requires the presence of a small, neat bag, and not a capacious bag. Handbags on a chain or clutches look great. Carry-on luggage is also suitable for a daily look. They look nice in the hand, although they are not as comfortable as shoulder ones. Regarding the latter, one can negatively note that cross-body bags greatly damage the coating of a fur coat and wipe out the fur. Therefore, you should not carry heavy objects in your bag.
