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?
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.
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).

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.
Mink short fur coat
This is not the first season that short fur coats have remained at the peak of popularity. They are comfortable, and a short mink coat is affordable for many fashionistas. A warm knitted dress with a mink coat will make your look elegant and feminine; brave ladies can experiment with wool products.
Fashionable dress print
A fashionable version of a short fur coat made of mink is a car lady. A modern woman leads an active lifestyle and drives a car just like men.
Fashion designers have developed a style that does not restrict movement and preserves femininity. A short fur coat for a car lady goes well with a warm dress of medium length. Long models and high-heeled shoes are not appropriate for a woman driving in terms of comfort.

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.
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!
Fashionable black mink coats
Products made from mink fur are included in the list of classic women's clothing. Such products emphasize the elegance, style and financial status of a fashionista.

Black mink coat with hood
The presence of an accessory to protect the head makes fur outerwear even more functional. During early winter, such a detail will help you do without additional headwear, which will visually lighten the appearance. During the frosty season, a black mink fur coat with a hood will reliably protect you from hypothermia. The trend is for models with a deep and wide addition, which not only looks stylish, but also helps to maintain a beautiful hairstyle. Combined design is also in fashion. The most popular was a black mink coat with a hood made of silver fox, lynx, and arctic fox.

One of the most unusual and original was a model made from wide or narrow symmetrical cuts connected horizontally. This cutting technique creates an interesting transverse pattern with a clear transition between the flaps. Crossbars are in incredible demand due to their reasonable pricing policy. After all, products made from pieces are much cheaper than whole skins. If you are looking for an option that will become the main outerwear in your wardrobe for the winter, then a black mink coat with a hood would be an excellent solution.

A short fur coat is a fashionable choice for lovers of youth style. However, this does not mean that this option is categorical for older women.

The trend is laconic styles with a round neckline, fitted models with a belt, and loose trapezoids. Designers offer both one-piece products and stylish cross sections. And if you are looking for an original and effective design, you should pay attention to interesting products with dolman sleeves.
Long black mink coat
A long cut is the choice of fashionistas with an unlimited budget. The most expensive fur in a long cut will emphasize your independence, elegance and social status. A stylish mink coat is popular not in the maximum length, covering the legs completely, but with a neat hem to mid-calf. This option maintains an elegant and slender appearance, but also reliably protects from the cold. There are an unlimited number of fashionable cutting solutions on the modern market. The most popular are the classic, flared silhouette, and hooded designs.
Black transformable mink coat
The ability to wear one item in different ways will provide you with the opportunity to be different every day. The best choice for this would be a beautiful black mink coat in a transformer style. Such models are presented with a detachable hem, turning from long clothes to short ones. Another stylish solution is removable sleeves. And in this case, there may be several options - transforming a long piece into a ¾ piece, a T-shirt or a sleeveless vest. Transformers can also be combined with a down coat or jacket. In this case, a removable fur vest goes on top of the down jacket.
