There were times when only wealthy socialites or elderly ladies could afford a fur coat. Now this luxury item has gained incredible popularity among the fairer sex of all ages, and magnificent fur is making waves on the world's catwalks. What new fur coats will be at the peak of fashion in the 2018-2019 season? It is worth reading the recommendations and photos for choosing mink and other products.
Key trends and trends of the season for fur coats
Let's look at the main fashion trends for fur coats for the coming seasonA:
- A kind of oversize. An ideal choice in frosty weather is a voluminous piece of fur, under which you can easily slip several layers of insulated items. An oversized fur coat is not only an extremely comfortable option, but also a kind of aesthetic cocoon, considered one of the key fashion trends of the coming season;
- Length. The main hit of the upcoming season is short fur coats and sheepskin coats.They go great with light boots and an elegant dress, as well as with rough boots, skinny jeans and a sweater. Long fur coats and midi-length items have more practical properties, but if we are talking about floor length, then this trend has already lost its relevance. On the crest of the fashionable wave are spacious straight-cut fur coats, as well as products with a fitted silhouette;
- Sleeves. Models with long sleeves are comfortable and practical, but fur coats with short sleeves look so elegant, from under which graceful women’s hands peek out! Such models are worn with high, insulated gloves, which makes the look extremely stylish. Despite the vagaries of fashion, most designers did not appreciate the creative impulse and presented fur coats with conservative sleeve lengths. The abundance of fur is diluted with wedges, edges, lapels, cuffs, although the sleeves remain quite loose.
Sleeveless fur coats have gained incredible popularity in the coming season. Many readers now probably chuckled with doubt, and avid fashionistas immediately adopted the stylish trend. Fur vests with elbow-length gloves or worn over a cozy tunic or pullover look very stylish. And how impressive a product with fluffy fur looks in combination with bare arms!
REFERENCE. For a casual look, boots go well with oversized fur coats, and for a formal event you should wear boots made of leather or suede or trendy stocking boots.
Not only voluminous furs are popular. A worthy place in the niche of fashionable fur coats has been occupied by models with a wide belt or waistband. Focusing on the waist, they perfectly highlight the female figure. Smooth fur coats that are knee-length or slightly higher and elegant options made from sheared fur look very nice.
Many fell head over heels in love with fur coats in a loose, straight style, with short fur of a natural color and length below the knees. Such products are worn wide open or belted.
REFERENCE. In addition to long fur and a loose cut, tight-fitting products will be fashionable in the coming season - fur coats, robes and fur coats. Models with a fitted cut, original colors and no collar, look like fancy fur dresses.
What kind of collars are in fashion?
- Classic with a smooth transition to the hood. Gathered in soft folds, they serve as a beautiful frame for the face and an excellent alternative to a headdress;
- Turn-down - classic straight-cut fur coats are especially good with such collars;
- Semicircular voluminous ones - bring notes of soft femininity and grace to the look;
- The absence of a collar is a fashionable, but not the most practical option, which is suitable for a cold autumn or warm winter. The design of such fur coats is often presented in the form of capes, short jackets and even kimonos.
There are plenty to choose from!
It is worth familiarizing yourself with the types of fur in more detail. Transverse fur stripes, without a doubt, give the image a special charm and attractiveness. In such products, the main emphasis is placed on fur, so the decor here will most likely seem like a luxurious excess.
You should pay attention to fur coats made of natural fur in pastel colors:
- dairy;
- chocolate;
- drilling;
- blue-black.
Combined fur - here it is, a must-have for winter 2018-2019. Each of these options, assembled from scraps of multi-colored fur of various textures, is a real work of fur coat art.
REFERENCE. Creative maximalism is also noticeable in the design of individual elements, such as sleeves, collar, pockets. I want to admire these fur coats endlessly!
Products made from long fur are a suitable option for cold winters. Arctic fox and fox fur coats amaze with their magnificence; the options made from beaver and nutria look a little more modest.
Those who fundamentally do not wear natural fur or simply feel sorry for animals should pay attention to bright faux fur. It looks quite impressive.
Geometric shapes, watercolor abstractions, multi-colored wedges, original prints - this season seems to be inspired by creativity itself in all its multifaceted beauty.
And another trend that undoubtedly deserves attention is the combination of two or more shades in one product. To say that such fur coats look very original is to say nothing.
Modern models of bright fur coats
The natural color palette of fur has become so familiar that it is difficult to imagine a fur coat of a juicy, unusual shade. But this will have to be done, because the designers decided to stun everyone with colorful fur coats in very original color schemes for the 2018-2019 season.
However, it is quite an interesting experiment, because in the cold season there is such a lack of rich colors and sun rays. So a fashionable fur coat in a rich color is a great way to stand out from the crowd and catch the wave of a fashionable trend.
So, what colors will become a real hit of the season:
- red;
- yellow;
- pink.
IMPORTANT! The main thing is to choose clothes of calm colors for short fur coats so that the image does not seem overloaded.
Creative individuals should take a closer look at models in indigo, green and purple, as well as such stunning options as “jaguar”, “multicolor”, “gradient”, “ice blue”.
In addition to rich colors, the designers decided to combine several colors, and also offered very non-standard designs for fur. A fur coat with a mink or any other print is one of the most stylish models of the upcoming season.
ATTENTION! We hasten to please the fatal predators: animal prints were more often seen at fashion shows than others. So, with a clear conscience, you can buy a leopard fur coat made of natural or faux fur.
One of the trendy options for the 2018-2019 season will be a model with combined fur of different types. The use of fur patches with different fiber lengths led to the creation of stunning, truly exclusive fur coats. No less relevant is the daring combination where mink trim is combined with suede and leather.
Stylish options decorated with beads, Swarovski crystals, embroidery and appliqué are also popular.
Bright fur coats of the coming season can be short, floor-length, with or without a collar, belt. One thing is for sure - in a fur coat of such a rich shade you will not have a single chance to go unnoticed.
The most fashionable fur coats of the 2018-2019 season
Now let's talk about the most interesting models of the upcoming season:
- Short version. Short fur coats are preferred by energetic people who love active pastime. This option will seem to them the most practical and convenient. In addition, these fur coats will be a great addition to an image with a classic pencil skirt and tight trousers with stripes.An evening dress combined with a pastel-colored short fur coat will make you a real star of the event! These can be options of various shades: soft, muted, and bold, extravagant, with non-standard inserts and prints;
- Long style. One of the most elegant and sophisticated models is a floor-length fur coat that looks like a king. Of course, this is an ideal option for an evening out. Although such fur coats look truly luxurious, they are not always comfortable and practical. Firstly, the length hinders movement, and secondly, such clothes weigh a lot. Thirdly, even if you are extremely careful, there is a risk of ruining the bottom of your fur coat, especially in bad weather, and after that it will no longer look so presentable.
Long fur coats for 2018-2019 are complemented by a belt, which serves as a harmonious decoration for outerwear and also favorably emphasizes the waist. So it’s better to save such models for special occasions, in order to amaze everyone with your triumphant appearance.
Recommendations from stylists when choosing a fashionable fur coat
Fashion tips will help you make the right choice:

It’s worth taking a closer look at shortened versions, models made of sheared fur, and unusual styles. However, keep in mind that such a product is not suitable for publication;
- If you want to look truly luxurious, you should opt for the “Chanel”, “butterfly”, “ballet” styles, which look especially sophisticated and original. These stylish fur coats look great with both floor-length evening dresses and skinny jeans;
- Straight models with a hood, flared at the bottom, are a true classic of the genre.These fur coats always add a touch of sophistication to the look, but look better on older girls;
- When choosing the length, consider first of all the features of your build, and then style and convenience. But this does not mean that slender women can purchase absolutely any option: too long models can visually ruin even an ideal figure;

Short fur coats with transverse fur gathering look especially luxurious in this color.
