Which bag to wear with a fur coat?

If you have a fur coat in your winter wardrobe, then it’s time to think about what to wear it with. There are many pitfalls in choosing the right bag, so it’s worth starting by studying the recommendations of stylists.

What styles of bags go with fur?

To select the right accessory, you should take into account the style of the fur coat and the fur from which it is made. Let's look at some of the most popular models, conditionally combining them together according to their main characteristics:

• bag or trunk - voluminous, roomy, convenient. He absolutely does not match a chic floor-length mink coat. Any pretentious furs are not compatible with such a democratic style. It can be worn with less luxurious outerwear, and with expensive fur only in the case of a short, minimalist cut;
• travel bag - for any type of fur, the rectangular outline of a leather accessory will come in handy, but only if the image is not burdened by too large dimensions. Choose medium-sized models, and the bag will look very impressive;
• a classic-shaped handbag is a small accessory with soft, rounded edges. It goes perfectly with any fur and style, and therefore is the best choice;
• The clutch is also a fairly universal style, which ladies choose very often. The fur coat looks very advantageous with it. But wearing it is not always convenient; many girls like to leave their hands free;
• briefcase - for a business lady this is the best option. A medium-sized leather bag will go with any fur; due to the hardness of the leather, it will not lose its shape in a horizontal position. It holds a sufficient number of necessary office things: documents, diary, tablet.

Important! An accessory for winter should be without protruding metal elements that can damage the fur: fasteners, zippers, rivets, locks.

What colors are allowed and what colors are not?

In such a difficult matter as choosing a color, be guided by the principle of harmony. remember, that the image should not contain more than three colors. Light-colored outerwear is paired with light-colored accessories, but a chosen bag a tone or two darker looks sophisticated and stylish. To go with a dark fur coat, you can choose a black or bright bag, clutch, or handbag.

The black bag is traditionally considered the most universal color scheme. It can be recommended for outerwear of any color. But an outfit of one color - a total black look - without a bright detail looks heavy. Therefore, if trousers, gloves and boots of the same color are matched to a black fur coat, then it makes sense to dilute the look with a handbag of a different color: blue, green, pink, orange.

There is no consensus among stylists regarding the monochrome white look: some consider it too pale, others talk about its appropriateness and the wonderful combination of white clothes and shoes with white accessories. It all looks very elegant, but a white fur coat in itself is not everyday wear. If you need to adapt it a little to a casual look, then choose a handbag in a delicate beige, gray, blue, or salmon color.

Materials that are combined with fur products

A fur coat is winter clothing, so bags that are worn in summer are excluded. Thin textile models, bags and backpacks made of denim, patchwork, plastic string bags are not suitable.

Stylists recommend choosing a bag for a fur coat, following the rule: the richer the fur, the simpler and more discreet the accessory. This doesn't mean it has to be cheap. On the contrary, to go with a fur coat, an expensive and high-status purchase, people do not buy traveling bags or clutches made from artificial materials. The best option is genuine leather, suede, fur.

In recent years, accessories made from reptile skin have come into fashion. This is a very expensive purchase, but in addition to their price, they not only look appropriate, but also emphasize the social status of their owner. Be careful - such skin can easily add an extra ten years. Girls are not afraid of this, but mature ladies should think carefully before purchasing.

The trend of the winter seasons for several years is fur accessories. Bags are made of fur or have details made of this fluffy material. We are talking about natural fur. For some fur coats, you can choose a trunk made of the same material and the same color as the outerwear. The main thing is not to overdo it.A leopard print fur coat is paired with a clutch or bag in one of the colors present in the clothing.

Important! It is considered traditional to match a bag to the color of your shoes, although recent fashion trends negate this rule.

What goes with a mink coat?

Expensive noble mink fur must be supported by appropriate quality accessories. The best material would be genuine leather. It will allow you to look organic with a simple, laconic style of the bag. The main thing is that the accessory does not weigh down the image.

For straight models of outerwear in a casual style, choose a voluminous, loose style of a briefcase or travel bag made of thick matte leather. The classic “trapeze” will look good with a miniature lady’s accessory or clutch.

Important! Carrying handbags over the shoulder leads to abrasion of the fur in places of contact with the fur coat. This applies to any fur except mouton. The best place for a briefcase or trunk in this case is on the bend of the elbow or in the hands.

Bags for a mouton fur coat

Selecting accessories for such affordable outerwear is no easier than for expensive models. Some nuances need to be taken into account:

• a long model is not compatible with a voluminous bag or trunk;
• An avant-garde bag does not match the classic fur cut;
• With the basic beige color of the fur coat, you can combine accessories in avant-garde and sporty styles;
• Mouton outerwear, called a “fur coat,” is perfectly complemented by a vintage style bag, a voluminous model with fringe or a chain.

Examples of choosing bags for different models of fur coats

1. A tobacco-colored leather bag paired with a beige short fur coat looks great. If you replace its color with brown, the image will still look just as wonderful.
2. A small pink handbag with a shoulder handle goes well with a straight-cut gray elongated fur coat. It is harmonious in a duet with a knitted hat of the same color.
3. A medium-length black fur coat, combined from astrakhan fur and mink, is well complemented by a large black leather bag of a laconic cut with a bright red fur pompom.
4. A dark brown quilted backpack looks great with a light brown mouton fur coat with a large turn-down collar. Outerwear will not look out of style if the lady replaces her backpack with a suitcase or medium-sized briefcase of the same color.
5. With a short light brown fur coat with leopard print, the combination of a black large satchel bag or also a black, but small leather handbag with a long shoulder strap looks equally ideal.
