Roland Barthes says this trope exists because the fur reminds us of pubic hair. This wiki, on the other hand, says the trope exists because fur reminds us of (a) lavish ([[FurAndLoathing and]] [[EvilIsSexy corrupt]]) luxury and (b) the intensely enjoyable experience of touching the stuff.

* The video for Jamelia's "Beware of the Dog" mostly involves her writhing around in the back of a Rolls-Royce while wearing a fur coat and very little else.

* BritishEnglish as spoken OopNorth has the idiomatic term ''she's all fur coat and no knickers!'', spoken disapprovingly concerning a Certain Type Of Woman Who Is No Better Than She Ought To Be. The "no knickers" part can refer, darkly, to the occupation of the lady in question and explains to the satisfaction of the listener just what she does to be able to afford expensive furs. (and why wearing clothing under the fur is optional).

* Jeanette [=MacDonald=] is ''nearly'' Naked In Mink in ''Film/{{Monte Carlo|1930}}'': on her wedding day, she leaves the dress draped over a chair and [[RunawayBride hops on a train]] wearing just a fur coat over her underwear.

-->And I started thinking about what would be awesome for Bill Engvall? What would leave me in awe and wonder? And it would have to be if I left this stage tonight and went back to my hotel room. And ShaniaTwain met me at my door, wearing nothing but a [[PrettyInMink fur coat]], holding a note from my wife that said "have a good time." ''That'' would be awesome!\\

* In ''[[Franchise/ThePinkPanther The Pink Panther Strikes Again]]'', Olga Beriosova (Lesley-Anne Down) seduces Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers) in a scene that is beyond words.

* In Leopold Sacher-Masoch's ''Literature/VenusInFurs'', this is featured prominently amidst other FetishFuel.
** Which then inspired a similarly fetish fuel song by [[Music/VelvetUnderground The Velvet Underground]].
** And a song that ''may'' be about this by Music/ElectricWizard. With them, God only knows...
* Arthur Schnitzler's ''Fräulein Else''.

Going out naked is embarrassing, and could get you arrested. Well if you have nothing else handy, a [[PrettyInMink fur coat, wrap or cape]] will do. It's stylish, covers up all the naughty bits, and is great FetishFuel.

* The temple seduction scene from the ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' episode "Amphipolis Under Siege" is well-known in the Ares/Xena 'Shipper community. Ahem.

* There was a series called ''Good And Evil'', and in one scene, the "Evil" character tried to seduce a guy by wearing nothing but a sable coat and flashing him. We only saw her from behind, so it counts as this trope.

* An episode of ''[[Series/SledgeHammer Sledge Hammer!]]'' does an homage to Noir Detectives. An early scene has a wealthy client in Sledge's office wearing a fur coat. He offers that she take it off, but she replies that she just came from modeling for the art school down the street and is naked underneath. He responds, "in that case, I insist."

* In ''AlloAllo'' Helga once tried to seduce information out of Renee by going to him wearing only a fur coat and (apparently) three well-placed swastikas. She was unsuccessful because it was the morning after his bachelor party (and it was implied that he had slept with almost every other woman in the cast the night before).
* In an early episode of Mission Impossible (Steven Hill days) Martin Landau is masquerading as a Latin American dictator and Barbara Bain as a total stranger he has summoned to his room. When one of the real dictator's aides start asking Landau questions that have him stumped, Bain appears at the bedroom door wearing nothing but a fur coat. The aide realizes he should leave. When Landau tells her that was quite a show, she opens the door revealing the two guards they have previously subdued and tied up and says "You should have seen it from ''their'' side."

* Many of the models in ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' appear wearing almost nothing but a fur (usually the covers, as inside the issue shows the nudity), like Barbi Benton in [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/playboy_december_1985.jpg a sable coat]] in the December '85 issue or Janet Pilgrim in [[http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/d3/bf/f7/d3bff7734974c5da03622c808caf9e84.jpg a white mink stole]] in an early Christmas centerfold.
