When you’ve decided to buy a fur garment of some sort, the most exciting part is shopping for it. With so many different options to choose from, the excitement can become a bit overwhelming as well. Whether you’re in the market for real fur accessories, a full-length fur coat, or anything in between, just understand the shopping process does not have to be challenging. We’ve got you covered with some of the top tips to help you find the perfect fur.

Look For A Color You’re Attracted To

The first thing people usually notice when shopping for a real fur coat is the color. Since different types of fur coats are available in a variety of colors, your options are extensive. If you have more of a subtle style, then choose more of a neutral color. Or if you have a special event you want to make a fashion statement at, then you can go a little bolder. Most first-time fur coat buyers choose a neutral color so they can wear it for different occasions. Another option is to mix and match real fur accessories so you can experiment with different colors until you decide which one you feel most comfortable purchasing as a fur coat or jacket.

Feel The Fur To Get A Sense Of Its Texture

Once you’ve narrowed down your color options, the next important step is to feel the texture. Mink fur will feel different than fox fur, for example, so try on different types of fur coats to understand the different textures. This is especially important if you have sensitive skin and if you plan on wearing your fur coat for more than a couple of hours. It should feel comfortable right away when you try it on in the store, so pay close attention as you do so. 

Think About Your Desired Style

There are a lot of things to consider when shopping for a real fur coat, but the most important is your personal style. Think about how often you want to wear it, where you want to wear it, and more. With proper care, the fur coat or jacket should look and feel great for many years, so plan accordingly. The last thing you want to do is buy fur with bold colors for a specific event, and then you don’t wear it again. With the many different types of fur coats available, you can find one that you can enjoy wearing for years to come.

Ensure The Fur Is Free From Damage

Once you’ve narrowed down your fur options even more, it’s time to start looking closely at the details. Most fur types are very strong and durable, but it’s possible to have small rips, tears, or other damage. A professional furrier should examine it closely for you, but you should also inspect it for any type of damage. Small fur damage can turn into a larger problem over time, so it’s important to get it repaired immediately.

Always Buy Furs From A Trustworthy Furrier

The number one thing you should always remember when buying furs is to purchase from a reputable and trustworthy furrier. There are a lot of faux furs out there and the quality of those furs isn’t comparable to natural fur. Trustworthy furriers should be able to tell you everything there is to know about any particular fur. And they should provide thorough answers to any questions you have. It might be tempting to save some money by purchasing faux fur, but most people regret it when it doesn’t last long due to its poor quality.
