Types of Fur Coats for Winter Fashion

Wearing a luxurious fur coat symbolizes wealth and elegance. They are not only classic fashion must-haves, but they are also extremely durable and versatile. With proper care and handling, these coats can last for life time long. These days, they are extremely "IN" in the fashion world.

A must-have for every fashionista, a fur coat looks really glamorous and reveals more than just the personal style. These coats are expensive than coats made up of natural and synthetic fibres, hence certain factors must be considered before making a purchase.

Fur coats generally come with a tag that indicates what type of fur it is. However, if tag is missing, coloring, patterning, and texture can give you some indication about fur type used. These coats are made out of a variety of animal skins including beaver, chinchilla, coyote, ermine, fox, fisher, lamb, lynx, marten, mink, rabbit, raccoon and sable. Here are different types of fur coats and you will love to pick one of them.

Mink Fur Coats:
These coats are characterized by soft underfur and dense hair. This type of fur is durable, lightweight and is available in different colors.

Sable Fur Coats:

These coats have a dense wool base, covered with long guard hairs. Russian sable coats are most expensive in comparison to Canadian and American Sable. Sable coats are typically brown in color with a speckling of silver hair, which gives sliver cast to the coat.

Rabbit Fur Coats:

These coats are one of the least expensive coat types. Rabbit fur is generally used for children coats due to its soft texture. They are not very durable and has tendency to shed hairs after few wearings.

Fox Fur Coats:
These coats are soft and have thick underfur with long hairs. Fox fur coats are quite popular and are available in wide array of vibrant colors. These are used for trim in coat's collars, cuffs, and also in wraps and capes.

Chinchilla Fur Coats:

This is multicolored fur and is compromised of very soft and silky pelts. The guard hairs are slate blue and underfur is thick in texture.

Coyote Fur Coats:

These are very dense and have a cream-like texture. Coyote fur is usually used for men's fur coats. They available in either tan or gray colors.

Fur coats look extremely fantastic. They are available in various sizes, styles and at different prices as well. You need to take care while choosing the perfect one for you.

Luxurious Look: Fur Coats

To the hard-core fashionista, the statement "You are what you wear" is true and can be very compelling. The high regard for the latest fashion and designer labels will never wane. The world of fashion has caught on, willing to serve anyone who won't mind the price tag. But being fashionable does not only mean spending your fortune on everything you see.

With a good understanding of what looks good on you, and the diligence to carefully inspect the items you wanted to buy, you'll get your money's worth. This is very true when shopping for fur coats.

A fashionista must-have, these coats give that luxurious vibe that will surely catch anybody's attention. You can wear it really long or just the right length, buttoned, kept in place with a belt or simply let to hang loose. If you're hoping to wear the coat for a very long time, you can opt for classic styles. But there are stylish choices for the fashion-forward, with many designers incorporating different shapes to give the coat a more contemporary look.

There are several things to take note of when buying coats made of fur; this will guide you through your selections and help make the best purchase. While these coats look soft and comfy, they are not made of the same kind of fur. You can choose from a rabbit fur, fox or a mink fur - all crafted differently. Genuine fur coats are meticulous to manufacture, it takes more time to handle furs coming from small animals like rabbits and minks.

Shopping for a coat made of fox fur is the most ideal as the material can generally come from one animal source, making the garment more consistent in quality. Although manufacturers are able to successfully weave through furs from different sources, a fox fur coat is definitely a good choice among others. In addition, fox furs looks softer and richer compared to other types.

You should also look at the details of the coat you're buying. Aside from the design element, these details heighten the quality of the garment. The lining should be carefully inspected to give you a better idea if the price is worth it. You'll find silk, genuine and synthetic leather lining.

When on the hunt for the perfect coat, you're eyes will be drawn to fancy colors. While this is not a bad option, keep in mind that furs in pink, red and blue are not in its natural colors. Furs in vibrant colors are dyed to achieve a flashy look.

If you are on a budget, you may want to consider getting yourself a coat made of faux fur. This is a synthetic type highly favored by animal activists and consumers concerned of animal welfare. In fact, anyone should consider a faux fur coat for that reason alone, no matter what the budget is. With the advancements of technology, no one will notice you're not wearing the real thing. Whatever you decide on, it should come from what you believe in; no one should take that away from you.

Fall and Winter Fashion Musts

Fall and Winter 2010 is defined by all things Bohemian – supple, fringed suede boots, peasant-style blouses that evoke the hidden Gypsy in all of us, chunky gold jewellery and a range of accessories hewn and crafted out of exotic pelts, furs and skins.

Ostrich, crocodile and snake skin the natural ‘fabrics’ of choiceThe overriding hue appears to be dominated by the purples and lilacs of the palette with premier designers Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton creating stylish leather purses and wallets dyed the brightest lavenders, plums, wines and amethysts. Exotic leathers and snake skin are the chosen natural ‘fabrics’ used by the fashionistas of New York, Milan and Paris to create unique and expensive ostrich bags, crocodile belts and snakeskin boots.

Fur is back with a vengeance
Fur, both real and faux, is back with a vengeance with the full-length traditional fur coat making the biggest of comebacks, especially in the icy northern climes. The more planet-conscious, however, are opting for faux fur trims on coats, hats and even scarves, but the emphasis is not on emulating the real furs of chinchilla, fox or mink but rather going right over the top with an obvious fake fur look – exotic animal prints like leopard and zebra and faux fur dyed in subdued pinks, yellows and purples.

Coats of choice this chilly winter are made from pure wool, not only because they are decidedly eco friendly but long lasting and durable too. Suppressed colours like brown, camel, grey and black are the more traditional offerings but, for the extreme team of designers, flamingo pinks, bright reds and startling plaids are not unusual.

Laces are the ‘sexy’ accessory for 2010
Ankle-high boots and shoes with tassels are big again this winter but it appears as if laces in all sorts of guises are the principle lures this winter. Whether laced-up boots or stilettos with ‘string’, laces have been branded the ’sexy’ accessory to include in all footwear collections in 2009.

Magnificent feathers and opulent plumes are favoured not only as suitable ‘dressing’ for outsized hats but as details on dresses, skirts, scarves and collars with the ostrich, peacock, pheasant and marabou preferred over all other birds.

Neo-grunge gets the nod
Neo-grunge has been given the nod with fashion-conscious women opting for torn stockings or laddered leggings. Add a military-style jacket resplendent with gold detailing and ornate trims and you’re starting to get the idea for 2010.
