How to choose
Sheepskin coat is one of those things that brings joy for more than one season - but this only applies to high-quality items.
If you want to get maximum durability and joy from your purchase, these recommendations will help you.
- The overall appearance of such a wardrobe item should make a good impression - neatness of cut, absence of small bald spots, protruding threads, and stains are welcome. If there is a special water-repellent layer, it is necessary to check its uniformity, and it should not stick to your hands under pressure.
- It is worth checking the thickness of the leather - it should be equally uniform throughout the entire product. Pay special attention to the condition of the fur. A high-quality item has the same fur direction in all areas and uniform density. With small twitching movements, the villi remain in place.
- Details also play an important role. To check the overall quality of the cut, you need to put on a sheepskin coat and take turns raising both arms to the top: while performing such movements, the second shoulder should always remain in its place. It is better to select edgings on the product from genuine leather rather than synthetic materials - they will serve better and longer. The corners on the pockets must be properly secured.
- Choose models without decorative elements, as they significantly complicate the dry cleaning process of the product. If you like the decor, check the attachment points for small decorations (such elements should be sewn on, not glued).
A huge role is played by both the general parameters of making a sheepskin coat, as well as the material itself and its quality. The ability to keep warm in cold, wet weather, as well as the overall appearance of the product when worn regularly, depends on this.
Women's models made of natural sheepskin have been popular for many seasons in a row. They are made from genuine leather, which has been removed entirely and does not have the fur layer removed. At the same time, several types are distinguished depending on the origin of a particular skin.
For example, merino looks very respectable, has fairly high thermal abilities, but at the same time is not very durable. In this parameter, they are noticeably inferior to things made from Tuscan lamb, the fur of which is characterized by higher strength and lightness.
- The most fashionable length today is just below the knee, midi. Styles: straight, lightweight, with patch pockets and fur inserts, with an open neck (no collar), with longitudinal accents.
Artificial or natural
Today, artificial materials (eco-leather, suede, fur) are becoming increasingly popular in the fashion environment. Previously, a natural fur coat was considered a sign of luxury and prosperity, however, now, the same designer faux fur is valued no less. Also, the growing popularity of eco-friendly materials is associated with the intensification of the movement to protect animals and the environment.
Modern technologies today allow manufacturers to create artificial materials of such quality, properties, and appearance that are practically indistinguishable from natural ones, while being more affordable. However, production quality also plays an important role here.
ARTIFICIAL | NATURAL |
pros : inexpensive, looks good, environmentally friendly, lightweight, moth-resistant | pros : very warm, looks good |
cons : not as warm as natural (can be worn down to -15º). | disadvantages : quite expensive, heavy, can be an allergen, it’s hot in transport, susceptible to attacks by pests (moths). |
Which hat is best for a sheepskin coat?
Depending on what type of clothing you choose, you may want to wear a hat or not.
The most popular choice is the well-known beanie, most often in simple color configurations, rarely contrasting with the color of the coat or rather harmonizing with it.
Another interesting idea is to combine a beret with a sheepskin coat, which will add femininity, grace and carelessness to the image.
You can also experiment and try on fleece headbands or pompoms in matching colors.
How to wear a sheepskin coat of different lengths
Long
Long options look simply luxurious on many women, and they also provide excellent protection from low temperatures and piercing winds. Unfortunately, as everyday outerwear they are not very uncomfortable. It is quite difficult to drive a car in such models; the floors of clothes quickly get dirty when traveling in transport or during a regular walk in the fresh air.
The great advantage of such a sheepskin coat is that you can wear almost any set of clothes under it. It will enhance the solemnity of evening sets (long dresses, stylish trouser suits with high-heeled shoes).
The model with a hood is very practical, especially in severe frosts.
The products are a little shorter - up to the knee or mid-calf - just as cozy and warm, but at the same time they are more practical. They can be combined with various outfits - casual skinny jeans, straight trousers or skirts. Oversized items look stylish with a tight-fitting bottom (for example, with a pencil skirt). At the same time, you can experiment and create a layered, light effect by choosing a fairly full pleated skirt.
Short
Such models for women are comfortable and practical for everyday use (if you do not have to stay at low temperatures for a long time). This style (its varieties - biker jacket, aviator, bomber, oversized, with lapels) is often called “car lady” - it is suitable for women who constantly drive their own car. The shortened model does not limit movement, and it will not wrinkle in a sitting position.
You can easily create various winter looks with it.
- Practical casual - straight jeans, an oversized sweater plus thick-heeled boots.
- Almost all types of skirts look beautiful with similar sheepskin coats. For example, a warm maxi skirt made of thick fabric can be a stylish addition to your look.
- Warm jeggings and a pullover combined with a plain top have been among the popular looks for several seasons now. This set always looks laconic and feminine.
Light, short options are an alternative to autumn coats. They are perfect for changeable weather in the off-season.
Average
Products with medium length are an option for the fall-winter season. Styles: parka, trench coat, robe, aviator, with short sleeves. Fashionable length just below the knee.
They go well with various styles of skirts and dresses. If the item has a fitted cut, this will further emphasize the femininity of the figure. A skirt that is a little shorter or slightly peeks out under outerwear looks attractive. An exception is clothing with a straight cut in combination with a maxi dress.
Pants without flares (straight or tight-fitting) go harmoniously with medium-length styles. Models with a medium length have a huge advantage: changing the look and silhouette as a whole is quite easy - just put on a suitable belt on top. For example, a rather voluminous belt made of genuine leather will create a feeling of luxury; a suede belt, wrapped a couple of times near the waist, will add femininity to your outfit. The belt, which is tied with a large knot, looks unusual.
Fashionable fur hat under a sheepskin coat
A fur hat and a sheepskin coat are an ideal tandem for the winter period, accompanied by bitter frosts and strong winds. Headdresses made from silver fox, arctic fox and, of course, mink look especially impressive. They always look feminine and elegant with classic fitted or trapezoidal shearling coats that fall below mid-thigh. But there is a nuance here. If the style of your outerwear requires a fluffy collar, then you need to choose a hat from fur of a similar color and texture. High and low “hat hats”, fur berets and youth options called “Muscovite” and “Gogol” look great with classic sheepskin coats.
Fur hats trimmed with knitted jersey, suede or leather go well with short sheepskin coats. Such accessories will fit perfectly into a classic, formal look. But here stylists recommend adhering to one simple rule: the more laconic the appearance of a sheepskin coat, the more intricate a headdress can be chosen to match it and, conversely, a simple, restrained in style hat will look advantageous with an originally designed outerwear.

Beige outerwear looks airy and light – it refreshes even the most formal trouser look.
Brown
Brown colors (chocolate, cocoa, taupe, terracotta, rust, dark coffee) are equally appropriate in various styles - from everyday casual to original grunge. Among brown models, combinations of several shades are quite common - for example, a contrasting shade of fur or leather on the lapels, original trim on the pockets and hood.
Blue
Denim blue (cobalt, ultramarine, cyan), dark (indigo, ink) or bright look original and will help in creating a unique outfit.

So, what kind of hats should you wear a sheepskin coat with?
We recommend reading
How to choose
Shoes
A fairly well-known rule applies here: choose shoes either in tone or in a contrasting shade (then they should be in harmony with any element of the set). Boots, boots with heels, ankle boots with stable heels, and ankle boots look most impressive in combination with a sheepskin coat.
However, in the case of medium or ankle length, you should not wear stiletto heels - in this case, the legs may appear extremely short, and the silhouette will be disproportionate.
At the same time, for short models such restrictions simply do not exist. With the help of short options, you can also create an interesting look in a sporty style - insulated sneakers will look quite appropriate in such an outfit.
Accessories (hat, bag, scarf)
When selecting a bag, it is necessary to take into account the entire intended image. Most often, sheepskin coats are quite voluminous and bulky clothes - in order not to overload the top, you should not choose small handbags or miniature clutches. Accessories on a chain are also not suitable - since the metal freezes quite quickly, and the cold will be felt even through warm leather gloves. In addition, such bags in most situations do not look particularly aesthetically pleasing in combination with outerwear.
Medium or large-sized bags with massive, comfortable handles are suitable (their size and texture are not so important). Carrying all kinds of handbags over your shoulder: the task is not always feasible in the case of such a thing, so when choosing a bag, take into account the volume of your sheepskin coat. The color of the bag and accessories should match other elements of outerwear. The most popular style for such looks would be a tote bag, bag-like items or backpacks (in the case of a semi-sporty look).
A scarf is an essential attribute for winter and autumn outfits. You can, of course, do without it, but it will be much warmer with it. A knitted snood (collar) made of wool yarn, a thin woolen scarf (it can even be used instead of a hat, as in the photo), or a scarf-shawl with a pattern (in the photo) are suitable.
Choosing a hat in winter is a matter of warmth, practicality, and style. One of the universal options is a fur hat. The variety of styles here is almost unlimited. The main point is that the shade of such an accessory should be in harmony with the tone of the fur on the collar area. Shortened models look great when paired with a headdress decorated with original knitted trim or leather elements.
For city walks, you can safely choose a knitted hat with a pompom made of natural fur, decorated with knitting, embroidery or appliqués. You can create a rather original, sophisticated look by wearing a voluminous hat in brown shades. A knitted beret also goes well with sheepskin coats. Of course, such an accessory will successfully complement a product of a classic cut, devoid of “rough” finishing elements (epaulettes, massive belt loops, metal buttons, etc.).
How to tie a scarf on a sheepskin coat?
There are many available ways to tie a scarf on a sheepskin coat with a collar and a hood. Every fashionista should choose the one that suits her.
- Single knot. The scarf is wrapped around the neck once and the ends are tied in a knot. You should consider the length of the accessory, as it should not be too long so as not to clutter the neck.
- Classic loop. For this method, the length of the scarf should be sufficient so that the loop looks voluminous on the neck. First of all, you need to fold the fabric in half, and then wrap the scarf around your neck so that the loop and ends are on the chest. Thread the ends through the resulting loop and tighten to your preferred height.
- Wrap a long scarf loosely around your neck several times, and lower the ends to your chest. Also, the ends can be hidden at the back under the layers of the scarf, thereby visually creating the integrity of the accessory.
- If the sheepskin coat has a hood , then a snood is suitable here, which will only be enough to wrap around once. Moreover, it would be better to choose an accessory made of thin fabric, without additionally loading the neck.
- If there is a collar , then an excellent option would be to throw the stole over the neck, overlap in front and throw the ends back.
- But if the outerwear has a fairly open throat , then all of the above methods will do.

How to tie a scarf on a sheepskin coat?
A scarf can be an alternative to a classic scarf, stole or snood. Fashion houses and famous fashion designers have long been saying that scarves can and should be worn with sheepskin coats. Combine a scarf and a sheepskin coat with a hood, using the Hollywood technique when tying (put on a scarf, cross the ends under the chin, and tie at the back) and you will achieve an incredible look.
If there is no hood, you can fold the scarf in half to form a triangle, place it on the chest, cross the ends at the back and tie it under the scarf in front.
In general, you don’t have to tie the ends and leave them on your chest. It will look especially harmonious if the edges of the product are decorated with tassels or fringe.
An important point is that the scarf, unlike a scarf, should not be made of silk. This combination will forgive the image. Scarves with traditional embroidery and large prints will look elegant and luxurious.
- If these two components are unacceptable for a scarf, then these elements are simply necessary for scarves. However, you need to pay attention to two things:
- If you are looking for a bright accessory, then choose a solid color product.
- If you want to complement your look with a scarf with a print or embroidery, then the emphasis should be on the color of the print and embroidery, and the fabric should be in soothing colors.
A sheepskin coat, as such, is quite a bold outerwear that always stands out in the gray mass, so even an “incorrectly” chosen scarf can even more strongly demonstrate the individuality of the image.
Therefore, do not hesitate to experiment, because now you will learn how to beautifully tie a scarf and shawl on a sheepskin coat! [Total: 17 Average: 3.4/5]
What is better not to wear with
- Long product and semi-sporty style . A definite no - long outerwear is created for gentle romantic looks, so their combination with insulated sneakers and sports boots will look comical and ridiculous. However, the short version will fit perfectly into a properly selected semi-sports bow.
- Sheepskin coat of medium and short length with flared trousers . This combination will seem too voluminous and cumbersome even on a fragile figure. Jeggings or skinny jeans are more suitable.
- Classic knitted hats and long sheepskin coats in dark shades . This set looks completely incompatible due to the difference in styles (especially this point concerns thin, semi-sports hats).
- Popular snoods and straight/trapezoidal cut . Voluminous snoods look good only with a fitted top. In all other cases, you risk getting a top that is too voluminous, which will look very bulky.
- Chiffon “flying” dresses and with any sheepskin coats . This combination looks foreign and contrasting due to the huge difference in texture and thickness of the fabrics. It’s better to leave light dresses until the spring-summer season – that’s where they have their rightful place.
What hat to wear with a classic sheepskin coat
Sheepskin coats are made from natural or artificial fur and are items of outerwear where the fur is on the inside of the product. Usually the material for making sheepskin coats is the skins of sheep, including lambs, because their skin is the most elastic. Also used for their production are the skins of goats and, surprisingly, kangaroos. Sheepskin coats begin to be worn when the thermometer drops below zero, and in such weather conditions it is impossible to do without a hat.
For many, choosing a headdress model becomes a real disaster, because it is necessary to take into account not only the shape and individual characteristics of the face, but also the color and style of your outerwear. It influences the image of a girl, can make her alluring and mysterious or awkward and ridiculous. The traditional cut of the sheepskin coat is the most beloved among women. This model is presented in a length that covers the knees, a smooth texture and short fur inside. On the outside, the product can be decorated on the cuffs and collar with a more fluffy and beautiful type of fur. The style will appeal to girls who prefer classics. In winter, not only the body, but also the head needs protection from the cold. Fur hats, thick scarves, earflaps and beanie hats look best with a sheepskin coat. Each of these options is now trending. There are no strict restrictions regarding the color palette - you can wear whatever suits a particular fashionista. Colors such as black, white, beige and brown never go out of fashion, and fuchsia, mint, orange, turquoise and azure are for the most fashionable and daring girls. Casual style diversifies with additional decor in the form of pompoms, appliqués and embroideries. As for prints, geometry (rhombuses, circles, stripes), as well as abstraction and ethno motifs, are now in fashion. You should be careful with animal prints - leopards and zebras have already set the teeth on edge.
Classic fur hat
A 100% option for a headdress that matches a classic sheepskin coat is a fur hat. To create a discreet and neat image, it is worth considering the following recommendations:
- The hat and sheepskin coat must be the same shade. Ideally, the hat is a little lighter.
- If the model is trimmed with fur, it is better to take a hat from fur that is as similar as possible. Dressed up in an arctic fox hat under a mink collar, a woman will look awkward and tacky.
- For a model without fur, just choose an option that harmonizes in color.
- Don't just focus on the combination of top and bottom; it's equally important that the hat matches your face shape. Products made from animal fur are now represented by voluminous hats, ear flaps, caps, berets and knitted models with pompoms.
- If a fur model does not suit a lady, you can try a tanned leather option.
Stylish and bold hat
It's sad, but the hat is not the most popular accessory for our region. Despite the obvious elegance, most girls are afraid that they will not be able to combine it successfully. This option can, of course, be worn with a sheepskin coat, but what kind of hat a woman with a sheepskin coat should wear depends on the style and shape of her face. A wide-brimmed felt hat to match your outfit will make your look more romantic and feminine.
Original scarf
A bright and body-friendly scarf looks equally good with classic fitted sheepskin coats and fur coats. You can choose a couple of products with different patterns so that you can change the looks as desired.
Modern scarf snood
The choice of scarf should occur after the formation of the overall image. An overly voluminous scarf will not fit a model with a hood, and a sheepskin coat with a small stand-up collar requires a larger option. Snoods have reliably strengthened their position in girls’ wardrobes not a single season ago. They are practical, go well with different looks and are very warm. It’s hard to immediately imagine clothes that wouldn’t go well with a snood scarf. Sheepskin coats are no exception, so you can safely start creating stylish looks. A snood of loose knitting with discreet decor will complement the look and warm you up in the winter cold.
Rules for styling a black sheepskin coat
Classic and universal black allows you to “dilute” yourself with any color accents. It’s worth taking this opportunity to try on new original looks. It would be appropriate to style a black sheepskin coat with trousers of the same color and bright shoes to match the sweater. Burgundy, marsala, mustard, brown and other autumn-winter shades will look good. A combination of contrasts: black and white will be effective. A blue-green palette shaded with a black background will create the mood. Gray in various shade variations will be an appropriate addition to an office look with a black sheepskin coat. It's worth experimenting with a combination of textures and accessories to play up the neutral color and give it chic and elegance. Hair color and preferred shades of makeup will also tell you what to wear with a black sheepskin coat. Clothes should emphasize the advantages of appearance and attract attention to them in the first place.
Which shoes and hat to choose
Special attention should be paid to accessories for the sheepskin coat. You can choose shoes in either matching or contrasting colors. In the latter case, it must be combined with any part of the kit.
Boots and ankle boots with heels look best. But with a sheepskin coat of medium length or to the ankles, it is not recommended to wear stiletto heels - your legs will appear unnaturally small. But for short products there is no such restriction. Also, with the help of short models you will be able to create an image in a sporty style, in which insulated sneakers will be appropriate. When choosing a bag, you should take into account the intended image as a whole. It can be a three-dimensional model or a “postman” with a long handle.
Shoe options
In winter, it is important to think not only about beauty, but also about warmth.
It's good when these two factors are combined. Therefore, the hat should match the sheepskin coat. Of course, it is impossible to say which headdress can be combined with any model of sheepskin coat. It is necessary to take into account the characteristics of outerwear. You can wear scarves and neckerchiefs with a sheepskin coat. Just choose ones that are not too voluminous so as not to overload the image.
Gray models
One of the best solutions is a women's fur hat. The style can be any, but the shade must match the color of the fur on the collar, if any. The shortened model looks good with a headdress with knitted trim or leather inserts. For a casual look, you can allow more flight of fancy. For outdoor walks, you should choose a knitted hat with a fur pompom, decorated with embroidery or appliqué. Or a voluminous beret. You can create an original and feminine look by wearing a hat with a wide brim.
When choosing which set will look harmonious with a sheepskin coat, you need to focus on its style and color. A white Tuscan sheepskin coat requires a different approach than women's lightweight demi-season ones. But if you approach the matter with taste, you will look really stylish.
Rules for styling a brown sheepskin coat
The traditional color option will never go out of fashion due to its good compatibility with other shades. Brown is universal. It goes well with basic black, white and gray, but will no less successfully complement blue, green, orange, khaki, cherry or red. You need to follow a simple rule: one or two complementary key colors in the ensemble. A simple and relaxed casual look can be achieved by combining a brown sheepskin coat with blue jeans, boots or UGG boots. A loose chunky knit sweater or turtleneck in a background shade would also work here. A dress of restrained color will highlight the elegance of a brown sheepskin coat. More daring accessories will suit this tandem. What to wear with a brown sheepskin coat in everyday looks will tell you your mood and the basic rules for combining shades. Create one or two thoughtful ensembles for the entire season, and you'll always have something to wear in emergency situations when you don't have a single minute to spare to get ready.
What shoes to wear with
The style of outerwear sets ideas for styling shoes. A strict silhouette will require additions in the form of boots, ankle boots with wide heels, ankle boots, and neat unisex boots. A casual look gives more opportunities for experimentation. The model range is expanding with a choice of UGG boots, dutik boots, warm sports boots, boots in a cowboy or “riding” style. Shoes with fur inserts in the same design go beautifully with a sheepskin coat. It can be either with heels or flat soles. In terms of color, the most optimal shoes are black, brown, blue and mustard. She will complement the ensemble. You can match the colored top with the same bottom or play with contrasts. The shade combination is determined by the sheepskin coat itself. What to wear with (you can see photos of different looks in the article) this trendy wardrobe item in the autumn-winter season 2021 will be suggested by a number of fashion trends and moods from the catwalks.
What scarves go with sheepskin coats?
The scarf you choose should add an additional accent to your look, so you should pay attention to what material it is made of. A scarf should make your look airy and sophisticated, so you should choose lightweight items for your sheepskin coat that won’t weigh down your look. Silk, chunky knitting, cashmere, fine wool, and even a non-standard combination of fine wool and silk thread are perfect.
- If the sheepskin coat has a collar, then a scarf made of mink or arctic fox will be in place, which will simultaneously emphasize the upper part of the sheepskin coat and neutralize the sharp transition in materials.
- Also, accessories with tassels 5-7 cm long and fringe 3-5 cm should not go unnoticed.
- The decor on the product canvas should be laconic and kept to a minimum.
- It is worth abandoning bright and multi-colored prints, embroidery, beads and sequins.
