In terms of configuration, of all outerwear, furs raise the most questions, or rather one: what to wear with a fur coat? Most likely, this is due to the fact that once upon a time, fur was part of the classic wardrobe. It could only be worn with elegant shoes, a bag and a fur hat, ideally a hat. Therefore, young girls did not favor fur coats, even if they could afford them, it turned out very strictly and “in a sissy way.” Fortunately, everything has changed. A stylistic thaw has arrived, and wardrobe combinatorics has turned into an exciting activity. Although, some questions still remain. Now we will answer everything!

What to wear with a short fur coat
A short fur coat reveals your legs and poses a challenge: what to wear under it? In the coming season, oversized models are in fashion (this is about outerwear), which means that the “bottom” in contrast should not be too voluminous. So, what to wear with a fur coat?
- Tight leather trousers or leggings. These things are already timeless and relevant every year in the autumn-winter period. Fur against the background of glossy leather looks even more noble, and the whole set becomes stylish and daring. Beautiful fluffy coats made of bright or pastel colored fur look very harmonious with “sharp” leather trousers.
- Jeans As old as time. Jeans today can be paired with any top. Whether it's mink or fashionable faux fur coats.
- Costume. Pantsuits are still in trend. Warm knitted or classic tweed trousers will go well with both natural and faux fur.
- Knitted sweater dress. A cozy, voluminous warm dress, large knit, will make an excellent match for a shortened model. If it's not too cold, you don't have to wrap yourself in a warm dress; an elegant sheath dress that fits your figure is enough.
- Pencil skirt. A mini is not suitable for winter, but a wool or leather/suede midi skirt is just right.
What about long fur coats?
Advice from professionals
- A fur coat should not hug your figure: black color is slimming even without it.
- Choose quality products.
- The fittings must be of high quality.
- The seams of the product must be symmetrical.
- For a black fur coat with a hood, choose high-quality foundations. This will help keep the product clean and require less frequent dry cleaning.
- For the durability of a black fur coat, you should not wear the bag on your shoulder or on the crook of your arms.
- Ensure proper storage - in a special case.
- The fur coat belt should be equipped with a textile lining.
- Ladies who prefer a variety of scents in their perfume collection should be careful: spray perfume at a distance from their fur coat, as this can lead to a deterioration in the appearance and condition of the fur.
- If there is a sharp change in temperature, a fur coat made of natural fur may be damaged.
- You can't ruin a fur coat with a knitted hat. A black fur coat goes well with gray knitted hats. Don't forget about shades of burgundy, cobalt and beige tones.
Winter time is an atmosphere of beauty and wonder. During this period, every fashionista strives to be a little more beautiful. A black fur coat contrasts with the tones of the winter landscape, making its owner stand out from the crowd. It’s easy to feel comfort and warmth, to be stylish and modern, beautiful and feminine!
In winter, in any weather and for any occasion, a women's black fur coat is perfect!
What to wear with a long fur coat
In this section we will combine knee-length and very long, floor-length models. Like a short, midi fur coat, it goes well with tapered trousers and leggings; everything here is quite simple. Difficulties arise with skirts and dresses, namely, how long should the hem be relative to the edge of the fur coat? Any! Can you imagine?! More recently, a skirt peeking out from under outerwear was considered bad manners. But not today. So, the skirt can be floor-length (then it is better if it is wide and loose enough), it can be the same length as the outerwear, or it can look out onto the palm of your hand or more. But if the skirt is shorter, then, if the realities of winter allow it, it is better for the outerwear to be unbuttoned.
With a floor-length model, everything is also simpler than it seems. It can be safely worn with wide, loose pajama-style trousers, with sports knitted trousers, and, of course, with skinny ones. There are also no restrictions in terms of skirts.
Selecting shoes
When choosing shoes to go with a fur coat, you should first of all focus on the length of the outerwear. So, if the fur product belongs to the “auto lady” style, then the best companions will be high boots, boots or ankle boots. High boots will be an ideal option for a knee-length fur coat. For maxi-length outerwear, it is better to choose chic over the knee boots or boots; the choice depends on the clothes under the fur coat.
As for the heel, fashion experts recommend adhering to an unspoken rule - the height of the heel should increase proportionally as the fur coat lengthens.
Separately, a few words should be said about ugg boots. The fashion of recent seasons has made them quite popular. However, this winter, Ugg boots are no longer so relevant. But if they can still be worn with a sports jacket as shoes for every day, then such a combination with a fur coat is unacceptable. Especially if we are talking about an expensive product made from mink or arctic fox.
What shoes should I pair it with?
What shoes are suitable for a short model?
- Sneakers. Yes, they go to everything now! Just, girls, let's agree: sneakers should be winter, insulated and with a sole appropriate for the time of year.
- Ankle boots With a high, stable heel, an elegant stiletto heel, or even a flat sole, the choice is yours. It all depends on the occasion and the style of the entire image.
- Over the knee boots. In the case of a short model, suede over the knee boots with flat soles look best; a stiletto heel can add unwanted ambiguity to the look.
It turns out that we can also wear any shoes, with the exception of boots, which are taller than ankle boots, but “fall short” of over the knee boots. Surely, someday they will come back into fashion again, but not in the winter of 2021-2022.
It’s the same with medium- and maxi-length fur coats. Unless knee-length models can be worn with stiletto boots. This visually elongates the silhouette, and makes the image feminine and sophisticated.
Choosing shoes for a fur coat: rules for combining
An expensive fur coat in itself is capable of attracting admiring glances, but only if the other elements of clothing are chosen harmoniously.
Evening outfit: fur coat with shoes
First of all, the fur coat must match the shoes. Uggs worn under a long fur coat can ruin the whole look with their garish inconsistency.

The choice of shoes largely depends on the qualities of the fur coat itself - length, cut, color and model. Youth styles can allow for bold combinations in the selection of shoes, while classic long coats require conservative solutions.

Bag
There is an unwritten rule of dividing bags into summer and winter. We continue to stick to it. Winter bags are made of dense materials: leather, suede, fur. The color scheme, unlike the summer one, is deeper and more noble, and the size is medium or larger.
The style of the bag should be supported by the image as a whole, not just by the fur coat, or rather not by it at all. If you wear fur with sports trousers, then the bag or backpack should be in a sporty style, but if under the fur coat you have a classic trouser suit, then let the handbag maintain a strict business character.
The color can be similar to outerwear, trousers, skirts, etc. In a casual outfit with jeans, the bag can act as a color accent: burgundy, mustard or, for example, malachite.
How to choose shoes for a medium-length fur coat
Medium-length fur coats are good for their versatility. Having one such fur item in your wardrobe, you can choose dozens of combinations of various clothes and accessories. Under the coat just above the knee, both dresses and skinny jeans, as well as leggings of various colors, are perfect.

Choosing shoes for this fur product is not difficult - depending on the situation and the given style, you can wear below-the-knee boots, over the knee boots, ankle boots and low shoes under a medium-length fur coat.

Hats, scarves, gloves and other accessories and headwear
Hats, scarves and gloves also confuse many, but in vain. This year, as they say, accessories are everywhere. More recently, furs were combined only with leather gloves and fur caps or hats. It is beautiful and elegant and no one has canceled this rule. It’s just that a lot of options have been added to it with what you can wear a fur coat with.
- Baseball cap. Suddenly? Again, don't forget about the weather. The headdress should be winter and nothing else.
- Beanie hat. Voluminous, stylish, knitted. It goes well not only with bright models made of natural or faux fur, but with plain, calm colors.
- Handkerchief. The “a la russe” style is relevant every winter. Wearing fur and a woolen scarf with an ornament was invented long before us and it is really very warm and beautiful.
- Leather gloves or knitted mittens. They can be in contrasting colors, as an accent, or they can match the outerwear
- Knitted scarves and snoods. The larger the fur coat, the less active the scarf should be. Conversely, a neat, fitted fur coat can be complemented with a chunky knit snood.
Models with a hood can be free from headwear. That seems to be all! Don't be afraid to wear a fur coat and pair it with simple fashionable items. The winter fashion of 2021-2022 is favorable to us and we must take advantage of it!
Models
There are many styles of fur coats for women. No one will be left without their favorite outfit. Women who prefer a classic or loose style will easily choose an outfit for themselves. Now especially popular:
- Short sleeve - three quarters.
- Short fur coats with an A-shaped silhouette.
- Into the smell.
- Straight fur coat.
- Black fur coat with a hood.
Various decorations are used as decoration: elegant brooches on the sleeves, original fittings. The role of decoration is played by collars of different shapes, hoods, and hem shapes.
Fur coats are made not only for adults; suppliers offer interesting models for children. You can wear a black fur coat at work, at a special event or at a meeting with friends.
- Overweight women will not miss the poncho style or trapezoidal shapes of the products.
- Any styles are suitable for slender beauties; straight models will be decorated with a belt.
- A black fur vest will be the perfect complement to turtlenecks or skinny jeans.
Distinctive features of the classic fur coat style
All that remains is to figure out how to choose the classic version of a mink coat from all the variety. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the following details:
- Collar . It may look like a stand or a shawl. And these are the most popular variations. Although, classic fur coats without a collar are now becoming popular;
- Hood . Most often, the model is complemented by a beautiful voluminous hood. But, you can find variations without it, which are complemented by a slightly flared style;
- Length . Most often the model is presented in variations up to mid-thigh or two-thirds length. Although manufacturers offer classic mink coats in a longer version.
Basic rules of fashion
A fur product is a wardrobe item that cannot be worn with any things. Fashion prohibits wearing workout clothes, bright accessories, and felt boots. Even the wrong jeans can ruin your look. Also, flared fur coats do not go well with trousers and jeans that are wider at the bottom.

Classic mink coat
A classic model, as a standard of quality, should look perfect . Therefore, manufacturers use only high-quality, well-treated skins when sewing. During production, the direction of the pile is also taken into account - it should be from top to bottom. This allows you to achieve the effect of a solid canvas, which makes the product even more expensive in the eyes of others. At the same time, the classic model is universal for every customer, because it will suit any figure. It fits perfectly on every girl, emphasizing high status and dignity.
It is worth noting that choosing the classic version of a fur coat can be considered a profitable decision. After all, this outerwear is bought for more than one season. And to always look beautiful and fashionable, you should give preference to the classics.
For example, not so long ago beautiful fur coats made of transverse stripes appeared. They look very attractive. To achieve this effect, manufacturers use different lengths of pile. And for many customers this particular model suited their taste. But the product will not remain fashionable for so long. Therefore, investments may not be justified for the next season. Another thing is a classic mink coat, which will look great every year.
Varieties of length
There are many models, but at the moment we will talk about fur coats of different lengths.
Long
Floor-length fur coats are still popular.
The advantage of this style is that you can wear a short skirt or light dress, and you won’t notice the winter chill, since the fur coat will cover everything. In a hooded design, you can do without a hat.
Short
Short models are more practical, they are lighter and less easily soiled.
These options are preferred by car ladies for their convenience when driving. These models also feature short sleeves. They look great in a casual style.
Short fur coat
A fitted mink coat will highlight your figure.
And also a great option to show off your slender legs in high boots.
