I'd buy the first one! Really stylish and at the same time can be named as classical. You can wear it both with jeans and office suite. With heavy boots and princess pumps
Between these two--I have had my eyes set on both, and yes, theyre faux fur as many of you know I love. I want something stylish and glamorous, but dont want to look matronly or a hooker lol. Trying to find that balance. I do have a collection of faux furs (trims and coats) and one vintage mink. Now I want a shorter jacket/coat in a lighter color. Which one between these two do you prefer?
My former Russian girlfriend had a genuine mink, in a similar pale/smokey color. Full-length, too. She knew quite a bit about them, second Russian woman I met to feel that way. Over there, they wear their wealth for status: just how it is.
While exquisite, in-fact (stitching, tailoring, quality of materials) it was a bit odd for a woman in her 30s to wear in the U.S. even during the winter. I politely tried to point this out but got nowhere. If they are "in" or not these days is a subjective question. In the end, she looked just a bit trashy/provincial wering the damn thing, despite that she literally paid more than $10K for it.
Perhaps that is in-itself why: that sort of ostentatious behavior is viewed as nouveau riche by the truly wealthy and cultured. (She was an ex mob-moll, I strongly suspect, though I never quite got to the bottom of that either in our six month acquaintance. "Trying to impress other mobsters" sort-of mentality, expressing that she was spoken-for by the top dog to the other floozies. Flaunting it to the peasants, that is to say: oligarch gangster behavior, in these post-Soviet years.)
Point being, if you're going for a fashion look, fur or faux-fur has a slight air of trashy attached to it, rightly or wrongly, for a woman under 50.
(Caveat: if you know something most of us don't...i.e., if fur is really starting to come back into mainstream fashion for the younger crowd...then disregard the previous! LOL.)
You may know something about fashion for the masses, but the fact that you are even considering actually these wearing these garments clearly shows that you know absolutely nothing about style. Real style.

In the 1960s my aunt bought my mom a full length mink coat and I was truly embarrassed to be seen with her when she wore it. I don't even like fake fur because the entire look is silly to me. The only people who should wear fur are people who live in a native culture in a cold area where there's no REI nearby.
