Find out about the company
If you're interested in purchasing from a company, find out about them:

Color
Do you want a natural fur color, or a dyed fur? Natural fur has variation in color, while dyed furs tend to be more solid in color (not all dyed furs are one solid color ).
You can step out of the box and go with an outrageous, neon colored fur or stay opt for more of a classic, natural look.
Shape
There are full and fluffy options that can add a luscious feel and a lot of texture. A piece can also be more slender and subtle, but can still add a lot to an outfit.
In the end, the shape that you prefer is the garment that your should purchase. Everyone is going to have at least a slightly different opinion on one piece.
