| The legendary Coco Chanel is known as a trendsetter and an uncompromising champion of impeccability in a woman's image. She gave the world a lot: what a little black dress is worth, the demand for short women's haircuts and the rich trailing scent of Chanel No. 5 perfume. With her graceful, light hand, ladies changed their fluffy skirts, corsets and extravagant hats to jackets, trousers and knitted pullovers... It would take a very long time to list her services to the female half of humanity. But I, as the author of a fashion blog for a fur factory, was interested in a very specific element of designer clothing from the unforgettable Coco, which migrated to the collections of various couturiers and organically fit into many models of our production. As you've no doubt guessed, I'm referring to the elegant Chanel collar. |
What are they like - fur coats with a Chanel collar
The most important distinguishing feature of a fur coat, worthy of bearing the name of a stunning woman, is impeccable elegance with a subtle touch of sexuality. And even though it seems that a romantic look is only appropriate for going out, such models are suitable for all occasions. True, long hikes on a frosty day in this outfit are not recommended, because the Chanel collar is a round neckline and an open neck. However, there are slightly modernized options in which the throat is more protected. For example, the Mink Autolady with a stand-up collar is a comfortable short autolady fur coat made from whole snow-white mink skins. Here, as we see, the round collar is made as a “stand-up”, covering the neck, but not without French charm. Or Rada’s elongated straight mink fur coat with a stand-up collar, in which you can observe the same design technique: the collar is elegant, feminine, fitting into the canons of the Chanel model, but at the same time the throat is covered with warm natural mink fur (by the way, the mink is of very high quality, like and all other fur that we use in production at MegaFurs).
Chanel fur coats leave room for imagination with the use of decorative fittings. You can find models without decoration, but more often they offer collars fastened with 2 fancy buttons or decorated with an original stylish brooch.
What do I recommend wearing a fur coat without a collar with?
Fur coat models without a collar are now the most popular, so they need to be given special attention.
Even the most luxurious fur coat can be ruined by additional accessories that do not suit it at all. And thus the whole ensemble will look simply ridiculous and ugly. Girls who prefer the Chanel style should know that they should not use very flashy and bright accessories, everything should be discreet and elegant.
The best option for decoration is a brooch. Initially, the ladies who preferred this model are sophisticated and intelligent individuals who must continue to conform to this image.
The best accessories for a collarless product
Fur products without a throat are already very beautiful in themselves, since the neck is completely open and there are no piles of scarves and lapels. It looks quite discreet and neat.
- You can complement this look with a handbag, gloves or a hat. You can choose leather gloves; they will be perfect for an evening walk, and for everyday use, as well as for going to visit or work. The hat should also be elegant and unusual. Such a move will only emphasize your individuality.
- It is also worth saying that fur products without a collar, namely the Chanel model, are very well combined with knitted products and additional attributes. But don’t overdo it with them, because then such an image will look simply ridiculous.
- If you want to replace your everyday hat and scarf, simply use a knitted bonnet or snood. Which will thus give your product individuality. Color in this case also plays an important role, because as we have already said, you should not choose very bright accessories. Everything will depend on what color your product itself is and from there choose a snood, hat or scarf. All elements should complement each other, and not vice versa.
- As for shoes, they should not be too bulky or awkward. Such models are not suitable here. Like all other additional accessories, shoes should only complement the look and should also be quite discreet and neat. Heeled boots will look best in this case.
So, we've covered all the tips and tricks that will help you complete your collarless fur look. If you stick to them and complement them with unusual things and accessories, you will always be at your best.
Who to wear
And now about the personal, the intimate... The neat round collar gives the fur product a light, flowing look. Is it possible for any lady to fit such an image into her wardrobe? After all, to be honest, not every one of us is lucky enough to have a fragile, neat figure. Will the owners of appetizing shapes have to forget about the dream of showing off in a Chanel fur coat? I won’t drag out the intrigue and torment you with anticipation. If you have extra centimeters on your luxurious body that you would like to make invisible to others, choose fur coats that reach the knee or mid-thigh. An excellent choice would be A-line silhouettes and options with flared hems. Like black or white Chanel mink with a stand-up collar 90 cm long.
Chanel collared fur coats are a salvation for petite girls.
In such clothes, the inches do not look like “eternal girls”, but take on the touching appearance of an elegant “little woman”, which, by the way, was the most beautiful Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel herself. I hope I helped you discover the magnificence of Chanel fur coats. And are you even ready to order such a model in our online store? In this case, I advise you to read tips on proper storage of fur before purchasing, because it’s summer outside, which means your new thing will have to wait a few more months for its finest hour.

Coco Chanel style: favorite hat models
Hats were a real passion for Mademoiselle Coco. Especially those models that hid part of their face. The creator of the fashion herself stated in this regard: “When you are going to have breakfast with people you don’t know well, you definitely need to put on a hat, because in this way you appear in a new light.” And indeed, looking at numerous photos of this talented stylish woman in a headdress, you always see her in a new way.
The most popular Chanel hats were:
- boater;
- cloche;
- bibi;
- pills.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Coco began her ascension into the world of fashion by creating a simple and strict boater hat made of felt. Since then, this headdress has become the hallmark of not only collections, but also Chanel’s own images. Judging by the photo, the boater was one of the most favorite hats of the famous couturier. These included straw models for summer without unnecessary decoration, and rather bright options, decorated with feathers, stones and silk ribbons. When choosing a headdress, Coco was obviously guided by the principle: the simpler the outfit, the more elaborate the accessory chosen to go with it. But everything should be in moderation, because the main thing in the image is elegance.

The second favorite in Chanel's wardrobe was the cloche hat. It was this model that was the calling card of her first fashion store in 1910. Coco did not invent the cloche, but only took as a basis the idea of Caroline Rebu, who gave the world a headdress in the form of a bell. But the famous legislator popularized this hat, gave it piquancy and coquetry, slightly changing the shape and adding interesting decorations in the form of feathers, artificial stones, and a veil. Coco Chanel often went out wearing cloche hats of her own design.
The bibi model became incredibly popular in the 20s. Of course, she appeared in the new collections of Mademoiselle Coco, and in her secular images. Moreover, this miniature hat has always complemented exclusively feminine, elegant outfits.
Towards the middle of the 20th century, the pill came into fashion. Coco Chanel paired this neat hat perfectly with both skirts and trousers. In her collections, the fashion creator presented a felt tablet; light-colored models for everyday looks were especially popular. For elegant evening looks, black tablets made of velor or velvet, decorated with feathers, a veil or decorative stones, were intended.
Coco's wardrobe included berets and voluminous caps. But even with these seemingly hooligan headdresses, the images of the famous female fashion designer have always been elegant, graceful and aristocratic.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Chanel model
Like any model of fur product, a fur coat with the exquisite name “Chanel” has its advantages and even certain disadvantages. The latter include the absence of a hood and a wide, completely open neck. All this, like shortened sleeves, cannot be called the height of practicality.
But its undoubted advantages should be considered its chic appearance and the ability to create looks that never go out of fashion. In addition, short, wide sleeves allow you to wear elegant gloves up to the elbow, thereby emphasizing the graceful thinness of the wrists.

Features of fur coats of this model
Structurally, the Chanel fur coat in the photo looks like a flat mini or midi product, and very rarely – maxi length.
It has smooth, slightly shortened three-quarter length sleeves and a semicircular, regular neckline without a collar or hood.
The fur coat is sewn in such a way that its shoulders are slightly sloping, this gives the female silhouette a special charm and is its unique “highlight”.

The most common version of this top-notch classic is the Chanel mink coat. It is the softness of the flesh and the texture of the fur of this animal that best suits the classic, calm beauty of such a model. However, on the shelves of stores selling fur products, you can also find arctic fox or mouton fur products of this style.
Oversized fur coats: extra volume and protection
For several seasons in a row, stylists have been successfully working on creating fur collections, in which a special place is given to voluminous products, in the so-called Oversize style.
Oversized fur coats give women a feeling of protection, not only from the cold, but also from a psychological point of view. The main distinguishing characteristic of Oversize models is their super volume, which is achieved due to the loose fit and soft lines of the product. It is also possible to obtain supervolume by using long-pile fur - arctic fox, fox, raccoon, lynx.
If you have an Oversized fur coat in your wardrobe, you must choose the right clothes to go with it. When wearing such products, it is important to adhere to the rule: only one element of the outfit should be voluminous.
Under a short oversized fur coat, you should choose a tight-fitting bottom - skinny jeans or skinny trousers. A dress that is completely hidden under outerwear and only your legs in thick tights and high boots looks beautiful with such a voluminous fur coat.
Fur coats in the “Boho” style: chic with ethnic motifs
Many fashionistas prefer fur outerwear with ethnic motifs, which is a reflection of the national symbols of a certain people; it was this that formed the basis of the boho chic style.
Fur coats in the boho style can be made from absolutely any fur - cropped or voluminous, or be the result of a successful combination of both. Models in the boho style are characterized by patchwork elements.
Many models are decorated with suede and leather; a striking example of this design is a sheepskin fur coat from the Ralph Lauren collection. The main difference between fur coats in the boho style is the contrasting and bright colors. Fur coats in the boho chic style have become a combination of ethnic and national motifs, hippie and gypsy accents, as well as gothic and grunge. This fur outerwear is convenient and comfortable, it allows you to create a cozy look.
Lovers of elegant style will appreciate the French fur coat models. This style suits all women. Fur outerwear, the length of which reaches to the knee, always emphasizes the femininity of the figure; it is appropriate at any time and in any situation.
Regardless of the style of the fur coat, this luxurious fur product is appropriate in every woman’s wardrobe. By choosing the right outerwear made from natural or faux fur, you will be able to create your own individual style.
