[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am thinking of buying a full length mink coat. I always felt fur coats were for old ladies, here I am 50 now.  Need a treat to make myself better but wondering if it's worth buying a) Buying one or b) get a shorter over the butt version versus to the floor coat.  Is fur even in?[/quote]
Are you only considering mink? IMO fox coats, including arctic and silver, look more modern; but they only look good on medium to slender bodies.
I agree that you should look for a vintage item vs. buying new. Even outside of ethical considerations, it is not an sensible purchase in terms of cost per wear.[/quote]
These are nice but in fur-wearing countries long-hair fur like fox is considered a little-girl item, to wear until you're 25 or so.  Women should not wear mink if they are under 20-22.

Fox is beautiful, especially silver fox and arctic/blue fox, but silver fox yellows with time (hence it's a little-girl fir).  Another superwarm thing is a lynx (which is much lighter than mink) but you'll have trouble finding it in this country.

You might try locating a tourmaline/beige mink, they look modern but don't have the stigma of dark brown mink (which I personally find too stale). You do have to be somewhat slender and tall for fur coats. Do not wear a full-length fur coat if you're short and plump. You'll look like a box on feet.
