The Turkish Angora has a long slender body, both firmly muscled and fine-boned, giving a graceful appearance. Head is a smooth wedge, with large tufted ears and almond-shaped eyes slanting slightly upward.

Single coat varies in length, but tail and ruff should be long, full, finely textured and have a silk-like sheen.

The Turkish Angora is recognised in all traditional colours and patterns except pointed series.
