Winter Fur Coat
Fox fur is just one of your options for great fur coats.

Wearing furs can help you feel sophisticated and beautiful. However, there are so many types of furs from which you can choose that it can be difficult to make the right choice for your needs. Some winter fur coats will look better on you than others. These tips, as well as those in our next blog post, will help you make the right choice for your fur fashion.

Fox Fur

Fox fur is one of the most popular types of furs for a variety of reasons. Not only is it one of the least expensive options, it also offers one of the largest arrays of natural colors available in fur types. Fur obtained from foxes typically features long hairs and a soft, thick undercoat, making it an extremely warm option. The best part of choosing this type of fur is the wide variety of fur colors from which you can choose, including:

  • Silver
  • Blue
  • White and Black
  • Red

Choose just one color or purchase real fur coats that use a variety of natural fur colors to create a unique effect.

Chinchilla Fur

When most people think of fur coats, chinchilla is not the first option that comes to mind. However, chinchilla can be one of the most luxurious options available to you. This fur comes in slate blue shades, as well as silvery, and feels soft and velvety to the touch. This type of fur is often thicker than many other fur types, with as many as 80 hairs growing from each follicle instead of the typical one.

Mink Fur

Mink is perhaps one of the most popular furs, though it can be more expensive. In fact, this type of fur was often seen as a status symbol. Mink fur is one of the softest furs available on the market today. Like fox fur, there are many color options with this type of fur, giving you plenty of ways to choose the style for your coat. Some of the common colors available in mink include:

  • Black
  • Various Shades of Brown
  • White
  • Grey

Some mink fur even features a combination of colors or shades to give the winter fur coat a unique feel.

Rabbit Fur

Another lesser known option for your real fur coats is rabbit. This fur offers a medium length for a different look than shorter furs, while still providing the optimal warmth like longer fur options. In general, there are two types of rabbit fur: normal and Rex. The normal rabbit fur does not have the same durability but is a more affordable option. This makes Rex the more desirable option for those who want a coat that lasts.

Choosing the right furs for your needs starts with determining the right type of fur. Real fur coats are made from a large variety of fur types, making it overwhelming to make the best choice. Whether you already know what type of fur you want or you are still deciding, this is not the only choice you must make. Our next blog post will discuss other things to consider as you make your choice.
