More than a century has passed since the elegant handbag was officially recognized as an independent accessory for ladies' wardrobe. Since then, the appearance of any woman in the world without this attribute is practically unthinkable - there is simply no other way to gracefully accommodate everything you need from credit cards, phones and cosmetics to documents, cash and keys.

For many ladies, a favorite handbag is as significant and important thing as jewelry and a fur coat. Correctly and tastefully combining these three elements that define the style of a representative of the beautiful half of humanity is a real art.

On women's forums, there are often complaints that with the onset of cold weather, a luxurious fur coat continues to hang in the closet, because there is simply nothing to wear it with. With other things related to outerwear, bags are almost always combined, but with a fur coat it is important not to make a mistake in choosing an accessory.

Color combinations

Black is traditionally considered the most versatile color scheme for a bag. An accessory designed in such colors will be appropriate when making a set with a fur coat of almost any color.

The safest in terms of consistency of the image and the impossibility to seem tasteless can be safely called a total black look: a black bag, gloves and boots in combination with a black fur coat. In this case, you need to pay attention to whether the image turns out to be too gloomy - otherwise its owner risks visually adding a few extra years to herself.

If the bag is selected for wearing with a fur coat of a different color, you should do exactly the opposite: the accessory should not match the color of the fur. It is recommended to choose bags of bright colors for a dark fur coat, while they should be lighter than the main element of the image.

It is better to add a handbag of moderate colors to light fur coats. At the same time, it is desirable that it is at least one tone darker.

One of the debatable issues is the appropriateness of combining a white fur coat and a white handbag. Opponents of this image cite analogies with the pale monochromatic Snow Maiden and hint at the impracticality of an excessive amount of soiled white things in the season of slush and sleet.

However, one should not forget that a fur coat itself has never been considered everyday clothing - it is not particularly convenient to move around on public transport and make long excursions along dirty streets in it.

A fur coat is an element of a luxurious look that encourages the use of beautiful and sophisticated accessories.

Therefore, a white fur coat complete with a white handbag made of leather or expensive fur will emphasize the sophistication and sense of taste of their owner. At the same time, the main thing is not to forget that, unlike total black, an image cannot consist of things of a strictly white color - add contrast easily with a hat or hat in bright colors and the same shoes.

For lovers of fur bags and fur coats, it is important to be able to correctly combine an accessory and the main item of winter wardrobe. A handbag, like a hat, should in no way look cheaper than a fur coat. Ideally, the accessory, like the headpiece, should be selected from a different type of fur, different in color and structure.

Fur coats, aged in a monochromatic color scheme, perfectly coexist with the brightest handbags. Orange, blue, green and cognac colors are trending. For spotted fur coats, reminiscent of the color of a leopard or Dalmatian, calmer colors are better suited: austere white or black, as well as combinations of white with graphite and black with flesh.

Increased demands on the appropriateness of accessories are imposed by coats made from elite, "noble" types of fur, among which mink, sable, lynx and chinchilla stand out. But more budgetary furs, such as, for example, a shorn rex rabbit or a muton, are much more open to experimentation.

Stylists willingly combine the most spectacular and vibrant models of bags, shoes and hats, creating trendy looks in various styles from casual and glamor to grunge.

Combinations by model and style

With fur coats different in style and type of fur, you should wear completely different models of handbags. For convenience, all common options for these accessories can be divided into several main categories.

Bags-bags. Dimensionless, roomy and very comfortable bag-like bags are categorically contraindicated if a woman is wearing a luxurious mink coat "to the floor". The only case when such a “bag” would be appropriate with mink or other expensive fur is if the coat is extremely short and minimalistic in cut. Less pretentious furs, on the other hand, look great with oversized bags.

Travel bags. A square handbag will go well with expensive fur coats, if its size is not too large. An overly massive bag will give the whole image a feeling of awkward "squareness", and it will not be very convenient to carry it over the shoulder. And again - for more democratic types of fur coats, the bag will be a very effective accessory.

Classic ladies' bag. It is traditionally accepted to refer to this type of accessories all handbags, compact in size, characterized by a soft, rounded shape. It is this type of bag that is ideally combined with almost any fur coat made of mink, sable or silver fox fur. No contraindications for the length or style of the coat - complete freedom of expression!

Clutch... A real lifesaver for ladies who find it difficult to choose an accessory for a fur coat. Expensive furs or the simplest materials - a clutch is appropriate for any look, from a sophisticated evening dress to a youthful street style.

As for the materials from which the bags are made, which can be combined with a fur coat, we can say that designers and stylists are not limited to any strict requirements. The main rule is relevance and non-redundancy.

If you want to add a fur bag to your fur coat, you need to carefully consider the final image. It is important to avoid the feeling of “all at once” - the flaunting “prosperity” of the image is not an indicator of good taste, always playing out calm luxury, presented casually as a matter of course.

The "mesalliance" of a fur coat and eco-bags will also look inappropriate. Such models are increasingly conquering fashion catwalks, however, in combination with natural fur, they look foreign.

Fierce controversy on women's forums and among specialists raises the question: is it possible to carry a bag with a fur coat on a shoulder strap? Opponents of this option are convinced that this cannot be done at once for several reasons. Firstly, the fur can be caked or wiped off in those places where the long handle of the bag presses on it, and secondly, due to the specifics of the structure of the fur, the bag will constantly slide off the shoulder.

All this, of course, is partly true - but only in the case when it is supposed to carry a voluminous, tightly packed bag over the shoulder. If we are talking about an elegant miniature handbag, which is more like an analogue of a clutch or other decorative accessory, a thin chain or a graceful leather shoulder strap will become an additional touch that forms the perfect image.

Stylist tips

Style experts unanimously argue that what you like is fashionable nowadays. Today's trends are very democratic, but you shouldn't go too far. Especially in order to prevent this from happening, the stylists have compiled a memo, which must necessarily become a "minimum program" for any girl who selects a suitable handbag for her fur coat.

Whatever the bag is made of, its quality must be impeccable both in terms of the main material and all small accessories - no visible substandard, unless it is artificial aging or conceptual abrasions;
If the bag is matched to a long fur coat, it is necessary to exclude options for accessories with protruding zippers, rivets and locks: all such accessories can cling to the fur, which threatens to damage the fur coat;
In no case should you abuse the carrying of a heavily loaded shoulder bag, even if it has a very comfortable long handle - this is fraught with wiping the fur;
Regardless of the texture of the material from which the bag is created, it is important to select it according to the color that is in harmony with the color of the fur coat;

In case of difficulties in combining designer experimental models of bags and a strict cut with a fur coat, it will be more expedient to choose a more classic type of accessory - a clutch or an elegant handbag will add shine to the image, which is composed both on the basis of a fur coat made of noble elite fur, and with the participation of a youth sheepskin coat made of a rabbit or muton;
The bag must be in harmony not only with a fur coat, but also with shoes. Leather and suede look equally advantageous both in the hands and on the feet, the designers emphasize. Although it is also not recommended to forget about the weather conditions, because a fur coat is primarily an item of winter wardrobe.
If a woman plans her look for every day, the stylist's main advice will sound like this: “expensive and simple” - the emphasized brevity and restrained luxury will say much more about the owner of a fur coat and handbag than an overabundance of draperies and complex designs both on a fur coat and on an accessory ...

A daring and free-flowing image, the basis of which is formed by a fur coat made of mehalama. A simple gray jumper, classic jeans with an open ankle and a dainty, colorful handbag on a chain.Yes, combining a bag slung over your shoulder and a fur coat is against the rules. But in this case, look itself is conceived as a stylish rebellion against the system!

An original fur coat, dyed by designers in blood red with white spots, effectively harmonizes with a clutch bag equipped with an unusual "flounce" of strips of leather. Stylish boots with suede over-the-knee boots accentuate the slim legs, and vintage sunglasses add mystery to the look.
