A natural fur coat is always a significant investment, so choosing it should be taken very seriously. After all, it would be a shame to spend a large amount on something that will simply take up space in the closet and will not make you happy, right? Let's look at what fur coats are on trend in 2021 and how to wear a fashionable fur coat correctly!


Trendy fur coats 2020/2021

Current models of natural fur coats

You need to understand that the fur coats that our mothers wore in their youth have long since become obsolete. At best, in such a product you are unlikely to be mistaken for a street styler running out of a show. At worst, you will look 5-10 years older . That’s why let’s first of all pay attention not to the color or type of fur, but to the cut.

Fur coat robe

Perhaps a fur coat-robe (this model is also often called a fur coat-coat) is the most versatile and “eternal” option.


A fur coat is the most versatile option; it looks great with everything.

The distinctive features of a fur coat are the midi length (this length, by the way, is considered the most complimenting for girls of different heights and sizes), the presence of lapels and a belt.


Fashionable mink coats in everyday looks

This fur coat model can be combined with almost any clothing, which is why it is so good. You can wear a dress/skirt, tube boots, grab a structured bag and look amazingly feminine. You can also pair a fur coat with a business suit and go to the office.

TIP: You can also wear it with a tracksuit or regular everyday clothes and go for a walk.
The possible stylish combinations are endless!

Types of hats according to their cut

Hats for a mink coat can be of different styles. When choosing a model, you should take into account the shape of your face, the style of your outerwear and your age.

Cap

A popular style among young people is a head-fitting hat with an allowance at the top or a lapel. The model can be put on completely, pressed at the top or bent to fit the shape of the head. The hat is suitable for short mink coats with any length of pile.

The cap should also be selected according to the shape of the face. This rule applies to all models, regardless of their design and texture. It visually shortens the image, so it suits girls with an oval face shape.

The cap is often found with a pompom. It has a knitted base, and the ball is made of fur. These hats are suitable for both young girls and middle-aged women.

Beret

This headdress also applies to hats. They are made from various materials: drape, knitwear and fur. Products are often decorated with various accessories. When purchasing, you should not choose models with too much decoration. Tassels or a flower of the same color are enough.

The beret is a universal thing, but it is not suitable for all women, but only for those with a round or square face shape. Large knitting or large volume can visually hide the face of its owner.

This product is often purchased for a fur coat of any style, regardless of the shape and structure of the face. It looks especially advantageous on fur outerwear, which has a collar and hood that is missing or detachable.

There are many ways to tie this accessory under a mink, allowing you to update your look every time. At the request of a fashionista, the snood can be worn as a scarf, hat or hood. Examples of combinations with outerwear can be seen in the photo.

Ushanka

The traditional hat has saved people from frost in Russia since ancient times. Ushankas are sold as souvenirs to foreigners, as a symbol of the country. They have special stripes on the sides that cover their ears, as well as thick fluffy fur. This model is suitable for a fur coat made from sheared or plucked mink.

Classic

The standard cut of hats for winter in Russia is a round fur hat. The model is usually worn by middle-aged women. A classic hat is suitable for a mink coat with a hood or a collar, as well as down jackets, coats and jackets. The Anna Karenina style is suitable for triangular and rectangular face types.

Anti-trends of fur coats 2020/2021

You've definitely seen such fur coats in the subway and on the street. They are still sold in shopping centers and boutiques, although they have long gone out of fashion. Classic examples of outdated fur coat models:

By the way, caterpillar fur coats, which are now sold in almost every fur salon, have also long been an anti-trend.

Please note : floor-length fur coats have long replaced midi-length products. They are much more practical to wear and look more stylish.

If you inherited a fur coat from your mother/grandmother that has already gone out of fashion, do not rush to get upset. Now there are many studios where you can alter an old fur coat, update its color and accessories. Believe me, professionals will definitely be able to breathe new life into an old fur coat (in terms of cost, it will definitely be cheaper than buying a new one).

How to choose a hat to match the style of your fur coat

It may seem that the hats for the mink coat that were discussed will fit all models. But now, after we have dealt with the material, it is worth taking a closer look at the style - the choice of a hat or cap depends even more on it.

It happens that seasonal hats are not suitable for many reasons. In this case, you should pay attention to scarves - now they have become a universal attribute for a fur coat. This combination looks fresh and original.

Short

Short fur coats are often more free when it comes to the choice of hats. Short fur coats and short fur coats with sleeves look great with bright hats in basic colors with pompoms. This style is called more youthful, which means you should take hats that convey modernity. Now you can find many examples of such hats with a logo or stripes, which will make the image more dynamic. If the sleeve is three-quarter length, then something more elegant will do.

Knee length

If we consider a fur coat without a hood, then most often the length of such products is knee-length. These fur coats are suitable for most types of hats. Now one of the trends is berets with visors. If these suit your face type, then this is one of the best solutions.

Eurolength

With Euro length (that’s what products from 90 to 100 cm are called) it’s a little more complicated. For a classic black fur coat of this style, hats and scarves are more suitable, since the silhouette is more “mature” and romantic.

To the floor

Selecting a headdress to match a floor-length mink fur coat is an art. Such outerwear looks massive, and what definitely won’t go with it is a knitted hat. But a plain scarf trimmed with fur will go perfectly together without obscuring the fur coat. Neat felt hats, with or without decoration, will also look great with it.

Hooded

A fur coat with a hood has some limitations in the selection of headdress, but this does not mean that the image will be boring. In order to organically combine a hood and a hat, the latter should be small. Many people completely abandon the hat if there is a hood, but a skillful combination can become a fresh and original accent to your look.

With a collar

A fur coat with a collar often has a straight silhouette and is similar to a coat, so there is a direct hint in choosing which hats are suitable in this case. You can wear a hat with an asymmetrical brim that will balance out the style of your clothing. What will not work are fur headphones and snoods - stylists do not recommend mixing incompatible things so much.

Without collar

Fur coats without a collar seem to have been invented to be combined with scarves, snoods and capes. The scarf here will both cover your neck and protect your head from the cold. If the edges of the product are decorated with pompoms or fringe, there is no need to hide it. Snood can be either large or fine knit - it all depends on which one suits your face type.

With stand

Fur coats with a stand-up collar deserve special attention. This detail is secretly recognized as elegant and minimalistic. Accordingly, choose a classic headdress, for example, a beret (with or without a visor), hats with smooth brims of medium length and cloche hats.

Straight

With a straight mink coat, you can play with contrasts: bold, bright hats will add a modern look to the look, while classic hats or berets will look more elegant.

Flared

A flared fur coat is a voluminous, flowy style. There are models that are almost similar to A-line dresses. Hats that go with them are only minimalistic, somewhat pretentious, without a hint of a sporty style.

Trapezoid

A trapeze fur coat, like a down jacket in its time, was loved by modern fashionistas for its comfort when worn and how stylish it looks - fashionable hats increasingly go well with such fur coats. You can choose a white hat that contrasts with a black fur coat, or vice versa. Fur headphones will look interesting with such outerwear.

Bat

The combination of a bat-style fur coat with a knitted or knitted turban is one of the best combinations possible with this silhouette. It is better to balance some oversized clothes with such an accessory on the head. You can decorate the product with a brooch.

With belt

We match almost any hat to clothes with a belt. The belt brings the figure closer to the hourglass silhouette, so femininity can either be enhanced or balanced. Headdresses with pom-poms and logos are not as appropriate here as felt hats, but it all also depends on color schemes and balance of textures.

Poncho

Fur ponchos themselves look somewhat unusual; it is better to shift the emphasis in the image to other accessories rather than to the headdress. For example, on gloves, shoes or jewelry. Cloche hats and classic felt hats are fine. The Mexican sombrero, of course, can also be tried, but not for everyday wear.

With unusual sleeves

You can spend more than one hour or even more than one day looking for a fashion accessory. So it’s better to find out right now the simple rules of how to combine a hat and fur coat with unusual sleeves. Everything that directly concerns the length of the sleeves is a direct message to femininity. The hands or forearms are exposed. A veil hat or felt cloche hat works best.

If we are talking about additional fur on the sleeves or their exaggeration, then the accessory on the head can be simply neat and small. Don't just limit yourself to hats, a knitted cap or turban will also balance out the look well.

Cross section

Cross fur coats are compatible with any accessories covering the head. The only clarification in the case of crosses is that miniature hats will not balance the volume of a fur coat, and scarves or snoods are better suited in style. If the cross is a bright unnatural color, both earflaps and caps are used.

Fashionable prints and colors

Previously (and even now) you could find fur coats in stores mainly in natural shades: black, brown, beige, gray. There is nothing wrong with this, because such calm colors have been in fashion for a long time and will probably not go out of fashion for a long time.

However, now the fashion world has challenged fur coats in boring colors. Designers paint furs in different colors and decorate them with various prints.

will be on print and color in the next few years . Interesting colors make fur coats more interesting and add a touch of modernity to them.


Printed natural fur coats from Fendi and DG

As for colors, in the coming season both deep muted colors (cognac, wine, emerald, blue and purple) and light, pastel and even neon will be fashionable (this, of course, is an option for especially daring fashionistas).

BY THE WAY! This year, a very popular technique is when a product seems to be sewn together from pieces of different materials. Fur coats in the patchwork style have already appeared at the shows of fashion designers.

Animal and floral prints never go out of trend. They look great on fur coats and make them less boring.

Just remember that a fur coat with a print is a very accent item. If you create a look with such a product, be careful (if you are afraid of going overboard, choose basic clothes and accessories).

Selection by material

In stores you can see fur and knitted hats. What hat to wear with a mink coat? You can do both, if you take some factors into account.

Fur hat for fur coat

The headdress can be selected from the same material as the outerwear, that is, mink. It is best to try it on together with a fur coat, so as not to look ridiculous later.

There are a few things to consider when purchasing:

  • You cannot select a hat of the same shade as the fur product. The tone should be a little brighter or darker.
  • With an uncut mink, it is advisable to choose a hat with short fur. Exclude sable, arctic fox and silver fox. And vice versa, if the pile on the fur coat is short, the hat can be voluminous.
  • The color should not match the hair color.

Fur hat for fur coat

A fur headdress is suitable for outerwear of any length. Young girls should choose such a set more carefully, as it can add several extra years.

Knitwear

Young people choose knitted hats. They go well with short fur coats and classic mid-thigh length models. You should not combine a knitted hat with elongated items.

Hats that match a mink coat should not have bright prints or designs. A universal solution is a hat in white, grey, brown and black. The sporty style absolutely does not fit with mink.

For reference! An important factor is the shape of the face. Girls with big eyes, a protruding chin and wide lips should choose voluminous hats. Thin knitwear, thin knits, and cropped fur are best suited for those with smaller facial features.

How to choose the perfect mink coat?

If you decide to invest in a mink or other natural fur coat, here are a few tips:

  • Pay attention to the presence of protruding and hanging threads.
  • Blow on the fur and smell it. It should not smell or look greasy. If you find a product with exactly this type of fur, it means that the fur was not completely dried in production.
  • Shake your fur coat. If it rustles, it means the skins were overdried. Such a fur coat will wrinkle and break.
  • Pull the lint. There should be no hair left in your hands. If they remain, the fur coat will quickly fall off during wear. If the roots are not visible on the fallen hairs, then the pile will fall out even faster.
  • Run your hand through the fur. He shouldn't wear makeup.

In an ideal fur coat, the fur should be elastic, shiny and strong. Do not forget that a high-quality and cheap fur coat is something from the realm of fantasy.

The skins from which the products are made have a purchase price, which cannot be low. Therefore, think twice if they promise to sell you a premium mink fur coat inexpensively.

Advice : many fashionistas often complain that the fur on the shoulders and sides of the fur coat is very frayed. This is due to bags that fit tightly to these areas. If you don’t want this to happen to your favorite fur coat, choose less fitting and heavier bags. By the way, tight belts also often cause such damage.

Famous fur lovers

Fur products have traditionally been loved and loved by first ladies and women, who influence the formation of world trends not only in fashion and beauty. For them, this is a way of self-expression, an opportunity to emphasize their uniqueness and simply comfort, because high-quality fur is very comfortable, light, beautiful and durable.

For example, despite the official ban on British monarchs wearing fur, which has been in effect for several centuries, Queen Elizabeth II loves fur coats. Or a fur coat? According to protocol, she has no right to appear in public in fur, but she often violates this ban, although this only applies to unofficial events. The British press claims, however, that Elizabeth II has only one fur coat - a long brown mink, which she has been wearing since the middle of the last century.

A whole collection of fur items was in the wardrobe of the wife of the 35th President of the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy, who was rightly called a style icon. Knowing her partiality for furs, she often received them as gifts: for example, the last emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie, once presented her with an incredibly beautiful leopard coat worth 75 thousand dollars. For official events, Jackie dressed much more modestly; even at her husband’s inauguration she wore a woolen coat. But having become Mrs. Onassis, she no longer limited herself in anything, and she was often seen in luxurious fur coats and fur coats.

Whatever they say about Donald Trump today, his wife Melania will forever go down in history as one of the most stylish first ladies of the United States. She never betrayed furs, although during her husband’s reign, obeying unspoken etiquette, she also preferred to appear in public in more modest clothes. According to rumors, the billionaire's wife loves chinchilla, black mink, astrakhan fur and sable. They say that Mrs. Trump was persuaded to temporarily give up fur by White House PR people. Well, let's see, now Melania has completely legitimate reasons to return to the usual things.

And, of course, the epicenter of attention today is Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, who will turn 81 in two months! Adored by her subjects, the Queen enjoys attending social events, drinking champagne and adoring mink coats! According to rumors, the owner of the crown is deeply worried about the brutal destruction of mink farms due to the coronavirus pandemic, because just yesterday Denmark was the world leader in the production of elite mink fur! The Danes are confident that if Margaret did not have a royal title, she would certainly have been the prime minister of her country and would never have allowed such barbarity towards mink farming, which was rightfully considered the pride of Denmark.

The queens of the stage are not far behind the powers that be. Jennifer Lopez is known for her quite immodest appetites for fur. Moreover, she is ready to wear fur everywhere and always: on stage, in everyday life, in the cold and in the heat. Just look at her story with the $27,500 fox fur coat that was prepared for her to perform as part of the It's My Party concert tour! The tour was in the summer, and because of the heat, the fur coat quickly lost its ideal appearance: makeup, moisture got on it... But J.Lo never thought of giving up her favorite outfit. Just think, 35 degrees hot... And she just ordered a twin fur coat.

Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Joan Collins, Catherine Deneuve, Sharon Stone and other rich and famous people often appear in fur at social events and in life off stage.

Natural or artificial?

Now popular designers (Furla, Versace, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Calvin Klein and many others) have abandoned natural fur. This is primarily due to cruelty to animals and environmental problems. Let's talk about whether we, ordinary fashionistas, should exchange natural fur coats for artificial ones.

What kind of hat to choose for a fur coat?

To see what kind of hat fashion bloggers wear with a mink coat, just open Pinterest. The variety of classic combinations and bold innovations is off the scale, but now we’ll figure it out in order, what will best combine with what and at the same time express your individual style.

To the mink

Women have been wearing mink coats all over the world for several seasons now to escape low temperatures. Mink fur is considered status, which means that the headdress can be of two types: minimalistic and simple (beret, knitted beanie hat or hat with a pompom) or to match the fur coat - sophisticated and elegant (small bowler hat, felt or velor hat, fur hat in tone or contrast). Much also depends on the cut of the fur coat and its color.

How to properly wear and store a natural fur coat?

A natural fur coat is a real treasure that needs proper storage. If you follow these tips, your fur coat will retain its attractive appearance for a long time:

  • Clean your fur coat on time
    . Natural bristles absorb various contaminants very well, so you need to clean them right away.
  • Never dry your fur coat with an iron/hair dryer
    . This causes severe damage to the fur.
  • Brush the fur periodically (about once every 1-2 weeks)
    . This procedure prevents the pile from caking. You can comb the fur with a special brush or a regular pet comb.
  • Do not overuse dry cleaning
    . Some fur owners take their items to dry cleaning every season. If you don't want to “kill your fur coat” in a few years, don't do it. Experts recommend resorting to this procedure only a few times during the entire life of the fur coat.
  • Store your fur coat correctly
    . It must be stored hanging, the fur coat must be placed in a fabric case (it will simply suffocate in a cellophane case). Don't forget to put moth repellent in the case.

Another important point: natural fur tends to absorb foreign odors. If you are in a smoky room for a long time, your product will smell like it for a long time.

Common mistakes when choosing a hat for a fur coat

Even after seeing so many examples now, questions may still remain: with what and what can you wear. So, let's go by the opposite and indicate which headdress should not be worn according to the advice of stylists. One of the common mistakes is a mix of natural and artificial fur in products. It looks extremely strange and unassembled.

They also often make mistakes when choosing the wrong face type. It’s not necessarily that hats don’t suit you at all; perhaps you haven’t found the one that suits your shape. Another mistake is inconsistency of textures, when fur or leather is of different textures and volume. In this case, the image looks scattered, and it is unclear what the emphasis is on.

Fashionable looks from stylists

If, after all of the above, you still doubt which hat will suit your mink coat, then the best option is to look through photos of fashion bloggers and stylists. Women's attributes in clothing provide such a field for action that you can easily get lost in this number of products, wear the wrong clothes and be disappointed.

Look, compare and choose what might have seemed strange to you before, “that no one wears like that,” etc. Stylists offer solutions for any occasion. It is important to remember that a specific image should attract attention and serve as a kind of edge.

Sometimes absolutely unexpected things can radically change the entire image, not only for the worse, but also for the better. Now you have all the necessary information to competently and tastefully choose a headdress to match your fur, which will make the image laconic, appropriate and original.

Some people ignore any advice on this matter and wear what is acceptable and close to them - be it fleeting trends or timeless classics. Let your winter look be not only comfortable and warming, but also beautiful. With our tips it will be easier to achieve this!


A beautiful fur coat is luxurious in itself. And additions, in particular, hats, are quite difficult to choose for it. Spectacular catwalk and magazine images show us the model itself, without offering options for additions. But the harsh realities of winter make us think deeply about what kind of hats will go with a fur coat?

The answer to this question will always be individual. But there are several criteria that will help you make the right choice.

How to choose a hat to match the style of a fur coat (with photo)

A fur coat plays a major role in a winter look; choosing hats to go with it is only an addition. There is a stable but outdated rule that a hat for a fur coat should under no circumstances be made of fur. Today's trends successfully refute this stereotype, offering original combinations of fur.

But when choosing this combination, it is worth considering that a total “fur look” can add five years to your own age and make you visually older. In addition, in today's trends, outfits in the style of “I will wear all my best at once” are considered a manifestation of bad taste.

The most elegant solution is offered by the world's leading designers, who try to combine furs of different textures in one look. For example, cut or plucked with fluffy. According to this principle, hats are selected for a mink fur coat, the smooth glossy fur of which goes well with luxurious textured furs - sable, marten, arctic fox or fox, both regular and black-brown.

And quite the opposite, a fur coat made of natural uncut mink will be perfectly complemented by a headdress made of smooth-cut or laser-processed expensive fur.

A very important point in making the right choice is the style of the fur coat itself. It sets the tone for the entire look, which means the headdress should support it. Feminine and romantic flared models will perfectly support berets and miniature feminine molded models.

In no case should you combine them with voluminous headdresses, such as a papakha or earflaps - they are intended for completely different looks. But even the most luxurious fur coat should definitely be tried on with an elegant headdress made of knitwear or felt.

Hats with brims are not very comfortable in winter, but miniature models made of felted felt with a brim are not only practical, but also very stylish, they allow you to create, if not unique, then an individual look.

One of the best options is, of course, the “cloche” - a neat helmet-hat with narrow brims, reminiscent of the headdresses of fashionistas of the early 20th century. It fits optimally into any look based on femininity, and besides, it does not spoil your careful morning hair styling!
