fur: an age-appropriate question
Permalink Closed


peta comments aside, i have a few vintage fur jackets that are really stunning, but i do not wear because i feel i am "too young."

so my question is this: do you feel there is a certain age requirement to wear fur? do you think women under 40 look silly in fur?

I don't necessarily know that you're too young to wear it, but wearing them might age you - does that make sense?

I think it might depend on the specific jacket/coat and the cut and style.

In general, though, I'd say, go for it. I don't think there's some sort of age requirement.

I totally agree with Kitty.  Depends on the style of the coat and I think anyone can wear fur if they want.

I have a short mink coat that I wear, I'm 25, I think anyone can rock them.

I think it depends more on what you wear with the fur jacket than the fur jacket itself, if that makes any sense.  I think if you were to wear a mini or a pair of jeans, you'd look very current.  Paired with some interesting jewelry and I think you'd be fine. 


Because you're young, no one is going to confuse you for an older person and as long as the rest of your outfit is pretty modern, I think you're okay.

If you like it, you will look happy, not old, when you wear it!  I say enjoy it.

It totally depends on what you wear with it! A long fur with a dress under it might age you, but a short one with jeans and boots can be very rockstar-glam.

It depends on the length of the coat.  If it's floor length with a matching hat (like my MIL wears), it might age you.  But otherwise, I think you should definitely wear them!
