A mink coat with a lynx pattern is becoming a trend in the world of fur products. The designers decided to introduce innovation and combined two types of fur in one outfit. The result lived up to expectations, and this fur masterpiece began to enjoy great popularity. This truly royal robe will be a worthy adornment for any woman. The combination of long spotted lynx fur with short, plain mink looks rich and elegant.
Features and Benefits
Such practical fur as mink and lynx will serve its owner for a long time. Mink fur is resistant to moisture, does not shed, does not discolor or dry out, so it is used as the basis of the product, and lynx is used as a finish. In addition, mink is cheaper - these animals are specially bred for the production of fur coats. But the extraction of lynx skins is possible only by hunting, for which you need to obtain a license, which is not issued to everyone. Difficulties associated with the extraction of skins affect their cost.
The value of using lynx fur for fur coats also lies in the fact that exclusively the abdominal part of the skin is used for finishing. The length of the pile there is about 8 centimeters. The lynx looks amazing, thanks to its unique spotted coloring - the dark ends of the hairs on a light background decorate the delicate mink in an original way. The natural beauty of this fur does not require dyeing or tinting. Its wear resistance is determined by the habitat of animals, so the item will serve as excellent protection from cold and wind. And if necessary, it can be sent for restoration.
How to distinguish a real lynx from other types of fur
- Firstly, natural lynx is too expensive fur, products from which can only be afforded by elite manufacturers with well-known brands and, accordingly, expensive luxury salons. Therefore, if in a store selling mink coats in the middle price segment they assure you that this is a model with a lynx, then most likely it is a fake.
- A real lynx is never painted or tinted; it is valuable precisely for its natural shade. Therefore, first of all, check whether the fur is dyed. Assess the condition and color of the flesh (skin) - it should be white. You can also wet the scarf and rub the fur - natural lynx will never leave marks on the scarf.
In general, lynx fur is quite difficult to confuse with something else - it is surprisingly soft, with characteristic black spots that start almost at the base of the hair, and not just at the ends, and this pattern is almost impossible to reproduce.
Models and styles
The number of models with lynx is not as numerous as, for example, with silver fox, but these are truly exclusive styles, as confirmed by every catalog of world manufacturers.
A mink coat with a lynx hood is the most common option. The hood can be made entirely of lynx fur, or partially trimmed along the edge (photo). A model with a hood is generally a very good option for finishing with other fur, and especially lynx. After all, it is on the hood that this noble fur is most noticeable and advantageous. The wide hood, trimmed with lynx, looks especially chic. A thin hood placed on the shoulders will create the effect of a royal coat. Lynx is also considered one of the warmest furs, so this model is also practical.
The lynx also looks interesting and rich on the collar, especially if it is a wide turn-down collar like a shawl. And quite unexpectedly, but interestingly, mink coats with a stand-up lynx collar in the Chanel style look - this is the latest fashion. But in this case, the fur coat should be worn exclusively with a thin silk scarf so that the delicate fur of the lynx does not fray.
As for the cuffs or hems of the product, it is simply irrational to use expensive lynx fur - it will quickly fray and lose its appearance.
High prices in the case of mink and lynx are quite justified, because this combination is recognized as one of the most successful in the fashion world. So, the combination of white natural mink and lynx is especially successful (photo). The white mink coat with lynx is truly elegant and luxurious. This is a queen's outfit, not available to everyone - the price for such a model is significantly higher than the price of even the most expensive black mink in the world, Blackglama. The fact is that natural white mink is also a very rare fur, small quantities of which are supplied by Scandinavian countries. Most likely, you can buy such a model only at elite auctions or to order in the best fur salons. It’s better not to risk quality by buying such a model somewhere else.
By purchasing a mink coat with a lynx, you will feel as confident and stylish as possible, because the lynx is the beauty, sophistication and grace of a wild cat, which will endow you with special grace and beauty.

How to choose a mink coat with lynx
When buying such a combined fur coat, make sure that the lynx fur is not dyed. It is enough to rub a damp cloth over the material - the remaining trace of dye on it indicates that you should not purchase such a product.
A quality product must be elastic. Mink pile is elastic and quickly returns to its original shape. The fibers are slightly hard and equal in length, which creates the effect of a smooth, shiny surface. Lynx fur is much softer. It naturally has a unique pattern that is almost impossible to fake. Natural fur does not bristle, does not break off, and has no foreign odors. High-quality material is homogeneous and smooth to the touch. When choosing a fur coat, you need to shake it to see if the pile falls off and how tightly it adheres to the subcutaneous part of the skin. When buying a short mink coat, pay attention to the seams. The fittings will also tell you about the quality of the product. The lining is not sewn up to the end so that the future owner can evaluate how the fur is processed from the inside out.
What to wear with
A high-status, stylish item does not tolerate ill-conceived combinations. Outerwear is quite bright and decorative, so it is better not to use brightly colored accessories and shoes. Calm, neutral tones of light and dark groups are suitable. Naturally, it’s better to forget about the multi-colored ornament.
Classic and youth shoes
A short fur coat is combined with high boots and ankle boots. It goes well with shoes with heels or wedges. A luxurious fur item will be emphasized by rough boots, sneakers or Uggs. Too high a stiletto heel and platform will ruin the stylish look.
Clothes combinations
As for clothing, both trousers and skirts of any length look good. Bell-bottomed trousers, suede and leather skirts would not be entirely appropriate. When going to a party, choose a maxi or mini dress. An evening outfit will be perfectly complemented by a floor-length fur coat.
What to wear on your head
The choice of headdress, especially if it is fur, must be approached very carefully. If in doubt, it is better not to wear it at all. Bright fur contrast will not tolerate the presence of a third species; it will look tasteless and vulgar. For greater effect, it is better to use a plain knitted hat or felt products. Hats and silk scarves look great with a mink coat and a fluffy lynx collar.
Accessories
You can highlight your look with fashionable, trendy accessories, for example, a leather belt or a fashionable belt. They should be of uniform texture; crocodile skin type relief is inappropriate here. A fur coat with three-quarter sleeves in combination with long fabric gloves looks extraordinary and original. If the sleeve is of normal length, you can wear leather gloves.
Mink coats with lynx
A short auto-lady coat made of snow-white, cream or sand mink with a voluminous English collar made of lynx fur that reaches the waistline looks great.
No less chic is a similar model with a hood that turns into a shawl collar. If such a fur coat is complemented with wide cuffs made of lynx hair, then the energy of the model softens and becomes gentle and romantic.

On a note! Mink in more active shades - walnut, graphite, chocolate or black - combines equally well with multi-colored lynx. The variegated elements, in turn, prevent the tonality of mink fur from dominating and overshadowing the image.
The expressive contrast of a lynx hood or collar with a dark mink base subtly refers to royal robes.
A light sand mink jacket with patch pockets and lynx fur sleeve cuffs will help create an extraordinary image for the owner, emphasize her self-confidence and attract the admiring glances of others. The same option with a dark mink will look somewhat futuristic and will certainly appeal to bohemians.

Longer models carry the trot bar along the clasp well. Especially on dark mink coats: against a rich background, lynx fur reveals to the maximum all the transitions of natural color. In addition, the bright vertical visually elongates the silhouette , which means this option is wonderfully suitable for large and stately Valkyrie women and will emphasize all their regal charm.
For mature ladies, lynx trim will add elastic flexibility and the predatory grace of a wild cat. The hood and cuffs, trimmed with lynx fur, will soften the dimensions and create the impression of lightness.

What to wear with
The “autolady” fur coat can be worn with both a miniskirt and skinny jeans. As for footwear, ankle boots with wedge heels will look best; high military boots, over the knee boots or UGG boots will fit in well.
As for headwear (for models without a hood), a soft cap made of thin knitwear or a bright scarf in active colors, always monochromatic, are suitable. For heat-loving people, you can combine such a fur coat with a fur headdress such as a beret.

A combined jacket is especially good if long gloves matching the mink base are visible from under the puffy ¾ sleeves. This model goes great with classic skirts or trousers, and looks good with ankle boots. Headdress – cashmere cap or fur hat.
A floor-length fur coat is best worn with classic high-heeled shoes with a tight-fitting boot. It is strictly forbidden to wear a trouser ensemble under such a fur coat: a masculine, rough and heavy hem hopelessly ruins the entire look.
A round knee, covered with translucent nylon, peeking out coquettishly when walking, is guaranteed to attract the attention of representatives of the stronger half of humanity and make them rush after an interesting stranger. A neat little felt hat, stylized in the fashion of the 20s, will add charm.

An effective accessory to all models and styles of lynx fur coats will be a long wide belt made of leather or thin suede , tied with a bow or a complex knot. A leather belt with a massive buckle would be too much for such a bright fur coat.
