In order to decide on a look, you need to consider the options that are right for you. The main disadvantage of most fur coats is their volume, which hides the silhouette, making it square or rectangular.
For example, if you want to wear a short fur coat with long pile, then choose clothes that fit your figure. Voluminous skirts or trousers will make you look squat. With fur coats that are no longer than the hips, you can wear different shoes. The only exception is voluminous options with a wide top; such shoes cannot be worn with fur coats.

In addition to the silhouette, you need to take into account weather conditions. Unfortunately, most original fur coats, especially those made of faux fur, are not at all designed for cold weather. Some of them, like a coat or a leather jacket, are designed for temperatures not lower than +5. This is good for those who live in warm regions and want to show off their fur. My friends wear fur coats even in Australia.

Most colored fur coats are made from faux fur. They have undeniable advantages, both in terms of design and appearance, and in terms of practicality. First of all, they please with their price. You can buy a fashionable model for only 3-5 thousand rubles. Modern faux fur is sometimes impossible to distinguish from natural fur. Another plus is that some models can be washed yourself without resorting to dry cleaning services. Such fur coats can be of any color, from flashy neon to calm pastel and dusty shades. In addition, they can imitate any natural fur. This year, the fashionable natural furs include raccoon, fox, nutria, arctic fox, astrakhan fur, coyote, sable and lynx. You can purchase a high-quality imitation for the season. Buying faux fur will be a good step in favor of protecting nature.

Advantages and disadvantages of colored fur coats
Before you go to the store for a new fur coat made of colored fur, I suggest you consider the pros and cons of such a new thing, so that later you don’t have to regret the money spent.
Advantages of colored fur coats:
- Fur coats made of colored fur are a bright thing in which you cannot go unnoticed. It helps create an optimistic, energetic, creative image. In it you will look like a brave, independent, creative person.
- For a long time, fur coats were considered suitable only for ladies of an elegant age; stylists warned women against wearing fur coats, suggesting that wearing fur would make them look older. Products made from colored fur completely dispel this stereotype. You can look younger than your age in them; they are not contraindicated for young people.
- Often colored fur coats are made from colored fur. The price for such products can be affordable, which allows you to purchase a fur coat for a specific occasion, even for those who do not have high incomes, to acquire an ultra-fashionable item.
- When buying a faux fur product, you can be sure that not a single animal was harmed for the sake of your beauty.
With all this, a fur coat made of colored fur also has a number of significant disadvantages, which in some cases outweigh their advantages:
- A Cheburashka fur coat will never look expensive or pretentious. Even if you purchased a fur coat made from natural mink, if it has a bright color and looks motley, others may think that it is just a skillful imitation.
- Colored fur coats are often made from long-pile fur. They can give the figure additional volume and make it shapeless. Large women run the risk of looking bulky in such fur coats.
- If outerwear is made from Cheburashka, then it does not warm well. It is not suitable for the Russian climate; you may not be able to wear it often in winter.
- It’s not as easy to choose the right clothes, shoes, and accessories for a colored fur coat as for a regular one. After all, it is necessary to take into account not only its style, but also its color.
Do you think that the advantages of a trendy item outweigh its possible disadvantages? Then let me help you choose the most suitable option for you.

Let's take a combination of banana trousers and a milky sweater as the basis for the image. The perfect combination for a cozy fall and winter. Let's add leather boots with a trendy square toe in dark chocolate color. I chose a bag of a similar color to once again show that now you can wear a bag and shoes of the same color. For outerwear, I suggest adding a mid-length faux fur coat in a beautiful cool beige shade. This length is ideal to wear with trousers or jeans. We complete the set with large yellow metal earrings and a basic beanie hat.
Which colored fur coat to choose
When choosing a colored fur coat, I suggest taking into account the following points:
- where and on what occasion will you wear it;
- Do you have an alternative to this outerwear;
- which fashion trends best suit your style;
- what shades suit you;
- what are the features of your physique (height, build, body type).
Let's look at these parameters separately.
Where to wear
If you plan to wear a fur coat in winter, keeping warm in it when it’s frosty, then preference should be given to natural fur. For autumn, you can consider artificial options.
Are you going to wear a fur coat every time? You should not look at toe-length products. But if you intend to wear a fur coat only on special occasions, under an evening dress, then a long piece of natural fur is just what you need.
Your style
Fur can be colorful only if it matches your style of clothing. A fur coat made from multi-colored scraps is one of the trends of the season. But it will suit you only if you wear sports or ethnic clothes. This also applies to ethnic-style ornaments, which can be seen on some fur products. Abstract geometric pattern, contrasting colors will suit the dramatic style. Pastel shades should be chosen only if a romantic style dominates your wardrobe, and then only with great caution. If your wardrobe contains a lot of classic clothes or sets in the “elegant pride” style, it is best to opt for plain fur in discreet and deep tones.
Your color
Everything is simple here - when choosing a fur coat, focus on the main palette that matches your color type, and you won’t go wrong.
I discuss in detail which shades suit whom, on the pages of my blog, follow the publications labeled “color types”. If you don’t know your coloring of appearance, try to determine the color type yourself.
Your figure
I would not recommend overly voluminous fur coats with long pile to a woman with an “apple” figure or those who are overweight. Such styles suit only tall and thin girls. If you want to buy just such a fur coat, then give preference to a product that is not too long, approximately to the middle of the thigh or just above the middle of the knee. You can consider options such as a short sheepskin coat or a fur jacket.
A safer choice would be short-haired fur outerwear. Such fur coats rarely make anyone look fat, especially if worn correctly.
Here we come to the most important point: how to wear a colored fur coat to look as slimmer, younger, more fashionable and beautiful as possible.
Biker jacket
Vadim, 30 years old, lawyer: “A girl in a short leather jacket always looks wow. Especially if it comes with chic curves in leather leggings or at least skinny jeans.”
A biker jacket is a timeless thing. In addition, as it turned out, she is very attractive to the opposite sex. Perhaps precisely because such a girl in a leather jacket always looks fresh and catchy. So draw your own conclusions! And remember that this season the jacket should not be too tight, but only freely outline the curves of your body. Wear with pleated skirts, light dresses and, of course, jeans.

How and with what to wear a colored fur coat
A fur coat made of colored fur is a bright and eye-catching thing. A mistake in choosing accessories and other clothing can be costly. Therefore, you should approach the choice of things that you will combine with a fur coat carefully.
Creating layers
I'll start by telling you how to wear a colored fur coat to look as stylish as possible. Whatever your figure, your coloring, age, height, layering will suit you and help take your look to a higher level. There are two ways to create a layered outfit with a fur coat: put something on top of the fur coat or open it up by putting something underneath it.
The first option is a stole and a belt over it. Everything else will look funny and ridiculous. If you decide on this option, keep in mind that the fur under the belt will quickly dry out, fade, and then you will no longer be able to wear your fur coat without a belt.
Under a fur coat you can wear a jacket, cardigan, jacket, or down jacket. The denser and warmer this thing is, the more creative your image will be. However, now the tendency to wear other outerwear under a fur coat is just emerging; for obvious reasons, not every woman will decide to follow it.
If the weather permits, you don’t have to button up your fur coat, even if there’s a light chiffon dress underneath. By the way, such a contrasting pair looks stylish and impressive.
An open fur coat almost always looks more impressive than a buttoned one. With this option of wearing it, the risk of looking fuller is minimal. Moreover, it can make you look slimmer.
What clothes to wear under a colored fur coat
The following will help compensate for the bulk of a fur coat:
- leggings;
- tight pants;
- skinny jeans;
- tight or semi-fitted dresses;
- pencil skirt;
- short and/or tight skirts.
Important: do not wear loose trousers, shorts, or long, loose-fitting skirts under a fluffy fur coat, otherwise you risk turning your figure into a shapeless cloud.
The exception is thin girls, especially if they are tall. A visual increase in volume will not harm them.
The color of clothing should be chosen neutral, discreet, achromatic or close to it: black, gray, dark blue, dark brown, beige, marsh. Bright trousers peeking out from under a bright fur coat can turn you into a parrot.
Monochrome looks with a colored fur coat are successful when the clothes peeking out from underneath are a tone or two darker or lighter.
Shoes
Many stylists advise wearing heels under a fur coat in order to visually lengthen the legs and the figure itself, making it visually slimmer, compensating for the “lushness” of the top. The advice is practical, but difficult to implement: walking in heels on ice is a task of fantastic complexity. Therefore, classic boots and ankle boots with stable heels and thick soles are an excellent option for shoes under a colored fur coat for the Russian winter.
Some fashionistas go further, wearing sneakers and over the knee boots under a fur coat. The option is acceptable if it matches the general clothing style.
Important: I do not recommend wearing UGG boots and boots with wide tops under a fur coat, so as not to “ground” the image and make your figure shapeless and awkward.
Bag
The best combination with fur, even if it is artificial, is leather, not necessarily real. Only smooth leather and suede are suitable for colored fur. Reptile skin and varnish will look too provocative when paired with a bright fur coat.
Do not take a bag that is too rich in color, especially if it contrasts in color with your outerwear. Otherwise, there will be too much color in your set.
Rigid-shaped bags suit a fur coat better than soft ones, as they do not allow the image to blur.
Headdress
If your fur coat is made of short-pile fur, you can wear a fur hat underneath it, but such a pair will not work with a long fur item. It is better to give preference to a knitted hat, bonnet, scarf or stole. You can consider a cap or beret if it suits your style.
A fur coat with a hood does not require a hat.
In general, if you wear a coat of colored fur, I advise you to be restrained in your choice of accessories. This clothing is self-sufficient; everything restrained, calm, and neutral harmonizes with it as well as possible.

Look No. 3 with an oversized gray eco-fur coat
The third look is a combination of casual and grunge, incredibly stylish and trendy.

Description of the image
Let's take as a basis a sleeveless knitted dress of midi length. It can be an excellent base for various combinations. In this case, I propose to complement it with a warm checkered shirt in black and white. Black rough high boots with voluminous soles fit perfectly here stylistically. In this image I don’t want to add any colors at all; I want to leave it just so muted. Therefore, the gray Cheburashka fur coat became the ideal solution for outerwear. Let's complement the look with accessories: a gray beanie hat, a cross-body bag and white metal jewelry.
Variants of green fur coat styles
When making, without exaggeration, a bold decision to purchase a fur product of an unusual color, you need to understand that it is more demanding in terms of composing images. And finding a truly suitable color model will not be easy. For example, a green mink coat is a rarity, and if you come across it in the assortment of fashion boutiques, then this can be considered lucky.
By the way, green fur coats come in different varieties. Most often you can see three shade variations of dyed fur: light green, a medium-saturated shade and a dark shade, sometimes leaning towards brown.
Rabbits or arctic foxes are most often painted in bright and rich shades - their pile structure is such that it does not lose its decorative effect when dyed.
Variants of styles of green fur coats
For example, a green arctic fox coat or a fur vest is a fairly common occurrence in the fashion market. With the help of such a thing you can add brightness to the image. Dark green fur coats, which look more restrained in the photo, can be chinchilla, mouton, nutria or some other type. This color variation is used for different types of fur. This is a solution for those who want to deviate a little from the traditional classics, but without attracting too much attention to themselves.
