Fur coats 2021-2022: fashion trends
With the onset of cold weather, the popularity of warm outerwear increases many times, the brightest representative of which is a fur coat.
It allows you not only to keep warm in severe frosts, but also to create a spectacular image.
Made from animal fur, it will last a long time and will keep you warm even on the coldest days.
Types of fur coats
Fur coats differ not only in models, but also in the type of furs and the way they are sewn. External signs rarely affect the functional features of the product, but they have considerable weight when choosing it.
Fur coats are of three types, each of which has its own advantages. "Cross" looks more gentle and feminine. The longitudinal fur coat looks more like a one-piece one, which, in turn, is a product made from a whole piece of fur.
The types of fur coats differ not only in the way they are sewn, but also in the variety of furs, each of which has peculiarities in appearance.
Wolf coats have a very dense fur structure, which makes the product incredibly warm, and the characteristic color will undoubtedly attract attention and become the highlight of the image.
The skin of a weasel is very delicate and has a short pile, therefore, outwardly, it looks more weightless and light, but is in no way inferior in warmth to other options.
A lamb, especially a shorn one, has a not very fleecy skin, but very pleasant to the touch and beautiful visually, since it looks like luxurious velvet.
Bear skins have a dense texture, are good for severe frosts and are especially popular in making children's fur coats, because it is very important to keep your baby warm in order to avoid seasonal colds.
The honorik fur coat has a short hard nap, which makes its surface smooth and “glossy”. It looks, albeit simple, but quite beautiful and in most cases is presented in a dark color scheme.
Quite an interesting way of sewing a fur coat is to dissolve. For the manufacture of such a fur coat, the fur skin is cut into several small pieces, which are sewn together, forming a solid canvas.
The need for such sewing lies in the fact that the skins of some animals are too small and variegated to create a complete product, so it is necessary to select the most suitable pieces.
Some fur manufacturers are engaged in making dog skin fur coats, this helps to save in price. Outwardly, such a product looks like a wolfskin fur coat.
A kangaroo skin coat has a very short pile, literally one millimeter long. Visually, such a product looks like velvet or velor. Although such a fur coat looks luxurious, it will be useless without a special lining in severe frosts.
A fur coat made of svakara skin, better known as astrakhan fur, is not suitable for severe frosts, since it does not have a strong insulating effect. This product can be used up to minus fifteen degrees, at lower temperatures there is a risk of freezing.
Ostrich coats are rather a decorative thing, since such a fluffy pile is not entirely practical in Russian climatic conditions and in everyday life. But as an addition to the evening dress, such a fur coat looks just great.
Fur coats are also made from sheep skin, fur seal, vicuna, alpaca and roe deer. These products are rather demi-season in nature, but due to the short, smooth pile, they are not suitable for frost.
The skin of the wolverine is quite fluffy and the fur coat from it turns out to be warm. The fur has a long pile and a dark, black-brown color.
Fur coats are also made from badger and deer skins, which are also quite popular and have a very reasonable price.
More expensive are mink, arctic fox, muton and nutria coats. Models of these fur coats are considered elite and not available to everyone.
In addition, fur coats can be sewn in different ways: with fur outside or inside. And if everything is clear with the first option, then the second raises many questions. A fur coat, sewn with fur on the inside, looks like a jacket or coat from the outside, but inside it has a dense woolen cover, thanks to which it is incredibly warm.
Unusual fur coats
A fur coat that combines several varieties of fur looks quite unusual and original. The upper part of this product is made of astrakhan or lamb, and the lower part is made of ostrich fur. Thanks to this unusual combination, the product looks like a dress and has a very feminine look.

Reviews
- Recently I purchased a mink coat from a domestic manufacturer in the World of Fur Coats store. The product is very beautiful and high quality. I was pleased with the wide assortment and quite a decent price - only 62 thousand rubles. The sellers warned that I could think about it within a month, and if I suddenly don't like my purchase, I can return or exchange it for a new one, provided that the fur coat is in perfect condition.
- Had a rest with my husband in Turkey and visited a fur factory with an excursion. Seeing a model of a full-length mink fur coat on the floor, and then, having familiarized myself with the price of $ 2300, I was pleasantly surprised and could not help but purchase the product. Already the third winter I left in it, the fur coat is very warm! I did not specify about the return, but I am not going to return it either, because it is ideal for me!
Selection Tips
When choosing a fur coat, first of all, you should pay attention to its quality, and more specifically, to the quality of the fur cover.
The fur should not have scuffs and bald spots, indicating a painful condition of the animal or that the product has already been worn before you and, when sold to you, is simply passed off as new.
The quality of the fur is checked in a fairly simple way: you need to move your hand or comb in the direction opposite to hair growth. Natural fur will quickly return to its original state, and synthetic fibers will give in and remain in the position in which you brought it.
Since fur coats are sewn in factories using special machines and machines, seamstresses can easily miss the threads that are sticking out. It is worth paying attention to them, because some can be simply cut off, while others will entail the divergence of the entire seam.
If you do not understand the fur of products, it is better to seek help from a specialist, since dishonest sellers pass off cheaper fakes for expensive products.
In addition, high-quality fur coats have a certificate in accordance with GOST, by requesting which you can get all the necessary information about the product.
How to care for a fur coat?
A fur coat, although it is a massive volumetric product, is still very delicate and fragile, therefore it needs special care.
- Firstly, it is better to store it in a special garment cover, which will protect the product from dirt and dust particles that can clog between the fibers.
- Place a few balls of mothballs in the cover to help protect the fur from insect pests such as moths.
- If the fur coat is heavily soiled while wearing, of course, you can always go to the dry cleaner, but sometimes it requires a serious investment of money.
- To save your budget from big expenses, you can clean your fur coat from dirt at home.
How to do this correctly so as not to harm the product, as well as to make cleaning effective, we will consider in more detail using the example shown in this video.
What to wear with?
Many may wonder what to combine such a majestic luxurious product like a fur coat with, but you shouldn't be too smart about the image, because everything ingenious is, in fact, very simple.
If you are going to a party and you just have to go from the room to the car and back, you can safely combine a fur coat with elegant heels or simple sneakers.
Regarding heels, it can be noted that in winter, boots and ankle boots with heels are best purchased as weekend shoes, since during the icy period on the heels you can slip and fall.
Therefore, the choice of high-heeled boots, as well as high boots should not be made your main task.
For everyday use, it is best to purchase flat boots or small stable heels, warm fur boots or winter sneakers.
Ugg boots will also be an excellent option, only on condition that they are made of natural materials - suede, natural fur and a high-quality heat-resistant rubber sole. Such a pair is an order of magnitude more expensive than fakes, but it will last much longer and will not expose your feet to the cold.
For fur coats with a round and v-neck, you will need stylish snoods, scarves and warm woolen shawls.
As a headdress, you can use various knitted or fur hats, as well as stylish hats.
Regarding the rest of the clothing, it is worth noting that its choice must be made based on the model of the fur coat itself. But in general, trousers of different models and skirts of different styles are suitable.
