How to style a fur jacket – 7 outfits to copy this winter

A fur or faux fur jacket is more than just a warm winter jacket – it can be the entire base of your outfit. With the right styling, the same jacket can feel luxurious, casual, elegant and trendy.

In this styling guide, you'll find 7 ready-made outfits with fur jackets and faux fur that you can copy straight away. Perfect if you want to get more out of your favourite jacket from Nordic Furs and at the same time look really well-thought-out every day this winter.

Why the fur jacket is your best styling piece

A good fur jacket:

• instantly elevates a simple outfit

• provides warmth without the need for multiple layers

• goes just as well with jeans and sneakers as with a dress and heels

• works in everyday life, at work and at parties

Whether you prefer real fur or faux fur, there are endless ways to style the garment. The key is to think about the whole thing: silhouette, colors, materials and accessories.

Outfit 1 – Everyday in the city with a short fur jacket

A short fur jacket is perfect for everyday wear. It provides warmth but is still flexible when you move around a lot.

• Short black or dark fur jacket
• Straight or slightly flared jeans
• A simple knitted sweater or polo shirt
• Black boots or chunky sneakers
• Leather shoulder bag

This is an outfit that works for everything: running errands around town, coffee, shopping or a regular workday. If you want to make it a little more dressy, choose leather pants instead of jeans.

Outfit 2 – Work look with elegant faux fur

If you want a winter jacket that works for the office, faux fur is a perfect option. It feels luxurious but still a little more casual.

• Faux fur jacket in beige, cream or light gray
• Black suit trousers or straight wool trousers
• A thin knitted sweater, shirt or blouse
• Ankle boots with a small heel
• Simple handbag in neutral color

Here it is important that the rest of the outfit is fairly clean and stylish. This will allow the faux fur to take its place without it feeling “too much” at work.

Outfit 3 – Evening look with long fur coat

When you're going to dinner, an event or a date, a long fur coat is the perfect outerwear.

• Long fur coat in beige, brown or black
• Dress (midi length or shorter) or an elegant jumpsuit
• Tights and heels or boots
• Small jewelry – earrings, rings, bracelets
• A smaller clutch or shoulder bag

The trick here is simplicity: let the fur coat be the main item. Choose a dress and shoes in a few colors so that the whole look looks luxurious and well thought out.

Outfit 4 – Weekend and brunch with a fur vest

A fur vest is perfect when you want to dress warmly without wearing a heavy jacket.

• Fur vest (preferably in a neutral color)
• Knitted polo shirt or oversized sweater
• Slim jeans or leather pants
• Knee-high boots or ankle boots
• Large tote bag

This look is perfect for brunch, weekend getaways, shopping or a walk around town. The fur vest makes a simple outfit look much more luxurious.

Outfit 5 – Sporty chic with short faux fur

If you want to combine comfort and fashion, a short faux fur jacket is the answer.

• Short faux fur jacket in cream, gray or a lovely color
• Black tights or ribbed knit pants
• Hoodie or sweatshirt underneath
• Sneakers or lined boots
• Cap or beanie + crossbody bag

This is a perfect “business outfit” – you look stylish but still feel like you’re wearing sweatpants.

Outfit 6 – Statement look with Mongolian sheep fur

Mongolian sheepskin has a special, fluffy texture that draws attention to itself. Here, “less is more” applies to the rest of the outfit.

• Jacket or coat in Mongolian sheepskin
• All black base: black jeans, black boots, black top
• Discreet jewelry
• Simple bag without too many details

By keeping everything else black and minimalist, the fur becomes the protagonist. This is a perfect look for evenings, events or when you want to feel extra luxurious.

Outfit 7 – Travel and commute with a warm fur jacket

Travel days and commuting require both comfort and warmth. A soft fur jacket is a great choice.

• Medium-length fur jacket or faux fur jacket with zipper or buttons
• Stretchy jeans or comfortable pants
• T-shirt or light sweater + layers you can take off
• Comfortable sneakers or flat boots
• Large, practical bag or backpack

The focus here is on function – but with a stylish fur jacket you still look well-dressed even when you're on a train, plane or in a car.

Color, material and accessories – the details that make a difference

When styling a fur jacket, it's the details that make the outfit complete:

• Match metal: choose the same color for zippers, jewelry and bag details.
• Mix materials: fur together with leather, denim or knitwear creates a luxurious feel.
• Think about balance: if you have a very voluminous jacket, keep the bottom part slimmer – and vice versa.
• Use color sparingly: a colorful fur jacket looks best with neutral garments underneath.

Common styling mistakes with a fur jacket

1. Too much volume everywhere
   A fur jacket + wide pants + big shoes can easily feel heavy. Try slim pants or tights if the jacket is very fluffy.

2. Wrong length in relation to body length
   If you are short, a fur coat that is too long can make you look shorter. In that case, a shorter fur jacket usually works better.

3. Too many colors at once
   Fur is a strong material in itself. Stick to 2–3 colors throughout the outfit for a more exclusive impression.

4. Forgetting the big picture
   A luxurious jacket loses its impact if the rest of the outfit feels sloppy. Opt for clean shoes, full pants and a bag that matches the style.

How to build a small “fur wardrobe”

Do you dream of a wardrobe where you always feel well-dressed in winter? Then you can think like this:

• A short fur jacket or faux fur for everyday wear
• A longer fur coat for parties and more elegant occasions
• A fur vest or Mongolian sheepskin coat for days when you want to stand out

With the three garment types, you can create lots of different outfits without having to buy a whole new wardrobe.
