A mink coat is considered a source of pride for every girl. In addition to its incredibly attractive appearance, it will not let you freeze even in the most severe frosts.
A mink coat dictates strict rules for combining with the main image and does not allow frivolous selection of clothes. You should look stylish and luxurious. It is important to thoroughly think through the image, not forgetting about shoes and accessories.
A mink coat is not just stylish outerwear. This is a reflection of the girl’s material wealth and social status. Every fashionista strives to add a fur coat to her wardrobe to feel stylish and comfortable.
The popularity of mink coats is pushing designers to create more and more new versions of this outerwear and combine it with other wardrobe items. We can easily choose models with a hood, flared, fitted, with a stand-up collar, etc.
The most popular models are with stand-up collar, English collar, laid-back collar, boat collar, apache collar, etc.
The stand-up collar is beyond competition. This is the best option for winter cold. It looks incredibly stylish and protects the throat from strong winds and other “surprises” of nature.
Mink coat styles
The models differ from each other in the following parameters:
- length of the product:
- collar;
- silhouette.
In terms of length, we can distinguish long models (to the floor), medium-length fur coats (knee-length), and short ones (from the waist to mid-thigh).
The stand-up collar will perfectly protect your neck from the wind.
Apache and English collars add a special “Hollywood” chic.
The silhouette is straight, trapezoidal, bell.
Important! Floor-length mink is a model for an evening out; in a medium-length fur coat you will look appropriate at any time of the day.
What to wear with a short mink coat?
Short fur coats are ideal for young slender girls . The widest selection of clothing styles for their owners. Mini-dresses, pencil skirts, breeches, any trousers, even jeans will look great with such a short fur coat.
Short fur coats are very popular, especially the “autolady” model - a convenient option for modern compact cars. Dark things go well with light fur.
Midi fur coats
We choose clothes more carefully. Trousers are narrow, skirts slightly reveal the knee. Business suits of all models. Shoes with heels of various configurations are preferable.
Maxi fur coats
Your clothes should be either long - approximately equal to the length of the outerwear, or a variation on the "mini" theme. We tuck the trousers into the boots and get a trendy ensemble.
What are French fur coats?
Not every woman can sacrifice her own comfort by wearing a long and bulky fur coat. That is why shortened versions of such products are in high demand. Moreover, this option is equally suitable for both young ladies and older women.
The characteristic features of the French fur coat style include:
Beautiful combinations with mink coats
Hats
The general trend in hats for similar outerwear is the rejection of tight, bulky items.
Advice! The model with a hood will save you from the painful choice of a suitable headgear.
Let's look at different hats:
Silk or pure wool scarves . Fashionistas tie them under their chin, or, in peasant style, wrap one end around their neck. The scarf is not hidden, but left on the surface of the fur coat.
Fur hats, preferably made from mink, of course. Interesting models are knitted from fur ribbons.
Snood scarf made of high-quality yarn - mohair, angora, alpaca, merino.
Felt hats to match the color of the bag. Cloche hats are the main trend of the season.
If it’s a knitted hat , then it’s made from good, expensive wool, pure color and an interesting solution.
Advice! Knitted hats look better with artificial fur coats; it is better to choose another option for mink.
Shoes
The shoes are discreet, extremely simple in shape, pure colors.
The color scheme is the same as the fur coat, but a tone lighter or darker. Natural materials - leather, suede, nubuck. If you are a car lady, try on shoes with flat soles or wedges. Leave the duds and uggs for another occasion. If you love ethnic style and eclecticism, buy embroidered high boots.
Advice! The longer the outerwear, the more laconic the shoes. Over the knee boots for a short fur coat just below the waist – stiletto boots for a long model.
Pants and skirts
Different models of skirts and trousers will suit different types of fur coats.
A definite “no” to wide pleated, ruffled skirts, as well as skirts and trousers . Owners of short sheepskin coats have the maximum choice.
A pencil skirt will help you out a hundred percent of the time.
The color scheme should match and contrast with the color of the outerwear. Options for solid shades or dark and light work great.
Accessories
bags that match the color of your shoes or hat. The finish is discreet, better without a strap.
The main element of clothing here is a fur coat.
Important! Bag handles, straps, etc. leave marks on the fur that are difficult to remove.
Scarves . Any pattern, but don’t tie it in a knot under the chin!
Gloves (mittens) . If knitted, then without flashy patterns. Fur mittens are a great idea. Leather, suede gloves or mittens are the best option.
Advice! Gloves are better, but if your hands are very cold, then you can pay attention to transforming models.

Luxury and functionality of a mink short coat
A mink short coat with a hood is a thing in itself that is a definite sign of the status of its owner, especially when it comes to its black model.
Such a high opinion of this piece of outerwear was formed, first of all, because of the material from which it is sewn. Firstly, it has high heat and moisture conductivity properties due to the quality of the fur. In such a short coat you can feel comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside: severe frosts or the dank rain typical of late autumn.
Secondly, a mink short coat, with all its apparent “pomp,” weighs relatively little , which significantly distinguishes it not only among fur coats, but also sheepskin coats.
Thirdly, its durability. By choosing a classic cut and following the rules of care, such a short coat can be worn for up to ten years.
Speaking of leaving. It is worth noting that this type of fur should be properly cared for. In order for a short coat to last for more than one season, it is very important to store it in a spacious place. It is also recommended to maintain a temperature of up to 18 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of no higher than 65%. In the summer season, a mink short coat with a hood should be “walked”, left to hang unpacked for several hours in a light draft in a dimly lit room.
Stylish looks
Tapered trousers in a rich blue color are ideal for a brown sheepskin coat. We put on ankle boots, add a Pavlovo Posad scarf or a small beret.
If you are the owner of a medium-length fur coat, the color of café au lait , pay attention to the midi dress of the same shade. Light boots to mid-calf. The look will be very light and fresh.
Designers suggest using contrasting shades in fashionable looks.
Mittens or gloves?
Excessive demands have always been placed on gloves. These fur coat accessories should not only complement the overall picture, but also warm women’s delicate hands even in the most severe frosts.
Wearing knitted mittens with a fur coat is strictly prohibited! Choose beautiful gloves made of genuine leather or suede. They should be distinguished by special sophistication and elegance, because they are designed to highlight the beauty of women's fingers. Lycra gloves can also be used as decoration, but such products cannot withstand severe frosts. These accessories are best used in early winter.
Bags. How to decorate an old mink coat with accessories?
It is very important to choose the right bag for a mink coat. It should look presentable, respectable and luxurious. Also, do not forget about the sophistication inherent in an expensive women's bag. The photo shows how this decoration can transform your image and add unforgettable charm to it.
If you are choosing a bag to go with a mink coat, remember that this accessory should not have huge handles and straps. Forget about carrying your bag on your shoulder. This will not only spoil the overall picture, but will also cause irreparable damage to your fur coat. The sophistication and smooth lines of an expensive mink product can only be emphasized by small clutches or bags that need to be held in your hands.
