Fur coats on Sadovod » Helpful » How to choose a fur coat » What length to choose

A woman's stylish image is the result of endless experiments on appearance and clothing combinations. Fur coats and vests for fashionistas become an additional tool in search of their unique image; this is an attribute of luxury. Now people of almost any income can afford a fur coat, but fur still emphasizes the status of its owner.

Fashion designers offer women a wide selection of fur coats of different cuts, colors, and types of fur, so choosing the right one seems to be very simple. And then, such an endless assortment makes it incredibly difficult to make a decision in favor of buying one or another fur coat.

To become not just the owner of a fur product, but to look like a king in a fur coat, you should know how long a fur coat should be, taking into account your body shape, lifestyle and fashion trends. And it doesn’t hurt to simultaneously understand what the sleeve length of a fur coat should be.

How long should a fur coat be?

The fur coat can be of any length. The assortment today includes short, long and medium-length fur coats. You need to choose it depending on personal preferences, the chosen clothing style, and lifestyle.

What to look for when choosing the length of a fur coat

When choosing the product described, you should look at your height and figure parameters. The second point is the choice of fur. If your budget is limited, you can buy a faux fur coat. True experts will determine that the fur is not natural, but not everyone will understand this. Today, designers are especially good at creating fur coats that look like natural ones. For those who want to buy a fur coat made of natural fur that is very similar to real fur, experts advise paying attention to the brands Stella McCartney, Only Me, and Unreal Fur.

It is important! When deciding on the length of a fur coat, you should pay attention to your height and your build. Some models are suitable for short, plump women, and others for tall, slender beauties.

When choosing the length of a fur coat, you also need to look at the model. The model must match the length. For example, if a fur coat is long and straight, it should have slits on the sides. In this case, this model will be convenient.

If you choose a white fur coat of maxi length, you should pay attention to the proposed style. The longest option will not be easy to care for, since the hem of long fur coats often gets dirty. And if it is white, stains and dirt will be even more noticeable than on a black background.

- for a tall girl

Tall female stature is an ideal from a design point of view. Therefore, women with such parameters can choose either a shortened model up to the beginning of the hip, which will emphasize the beauty of the female form, or an elongated model, which will emphasize status and grace.

Optimal fur coat length for a tall girl

A short model will be a suitable option for those long-legged beauties who have beautiful hips and long legs. A short length can highlight the beauty of your figure.

- for a short girl

Short female stature is not a flaw, it is just a feature that needs to be taken into account when choosing a fur coat style. For short girls, fashion experts advise choosing a fur coat either to mid-thigh, or just above the knee, or just below the knee. Knee-length models should be avoided. Why? Because such options will bend a woman’s legs and make her height visually shorter.

ideal fur coat length for a short girl

Many girls of short stature choose options that slightly cover the upper half of the thighs. And this is also the right choice, since such a product will look beautiful with both evening dresses and casual trousers/skirts of any style.

Models with hoods are also a good choice for short girls. They will beautifully decorate a short fur coat. If a short girl prefers a fur coat just below/just above the knee, you shouldn’t look at models with a hood. Why? Because such products will look bulky and inappropriate on a petite beauty.

- for a plump girl

Overweight girls who can boast of the splendor of their forms should approach the choice of a fur coat with attention. If you do not approach the choice seriously, there is a risk of choosing such a length and such a style that will further emphasize the girl’s plumpness and her sluggishness.

What length of fur coat is suitable for a plump girl?

Experts in the fashion world do not recommend overweight ladies to pay attention to sun-flared models, as they will visually expand the figure even more.
A medium-length straight cut with slits on the sides (or without them) is the optimal smart choice. It will make the woman’s parameters neat.
A shortened model is also an acceptable option.
A trapezoidal model of medium length is also acceptable, but if a woman has very large hips and full legs, then the trapezoid will put even more emphasis on the problem area.
If a woman is not overweight, a short ballet shoe will also suit her.

Important! Plus-size women should avoid fur coat models with long pile. They will visually make your figure even more curvy.

MODELS OF WOMEN'S FUR COATS

Perhaps no element of the wardrobe is treated with such reverence. Diverse fashion today allows you to choose any model of fur coat simply because you like it. Options for bright and elegant fur products are presented in any collection.

A fur coat is a product that is valuable in itself. Even the most laconic design of a fur coat model will look luxurious in comparison with other outerwear options. You can find more exclusive models in the collections of leading design houses.

Women's fur coats are worn seasonally. But almost all styles of fur coats can remain in fashion trends for a long time, unlike other clothing models. Fur is valuable in itself. And if the model is successful, then a woman can wear it for more than one season and remain an expert in the fashion world.

Designers are now actively creating models for a variety of target groups. For example, for petite girls they offer options that most closely resemble a cardigan. Even the most graceful young lady will not get lost in them, and it was the fear of “drowning” that forced short women in the past to refuse such a wardrobe item as a fur coat.

Those who want to choose something extravagant can opt for models with vertical slits. They allow you to take long steps, are a little less restrictive, at the same time they attract attention to the outfit worn under a fur coat, and look somewhat flirtatious. They fit perfectly into the image of a modern, confident woman.

The range of women's fur coats includes such models as: classic fur coat, Chanel model, fitted, butterfly, bat, bell, balloon, hooded, chamomile, shirt and others. Each model has its own characteristics, its own unique and recognizable features.

Classic. Such a fur coat usually has a straight cut without unnecessary decoration. It will look perfect and stylish on women with different figures, hiding flaws and emphasizing individuality. There are also no age restrictions for this model: an adult and confident woman or a very young girl will look unsurpassed. This is a classic and win-win option. This fur coat will go best with classic clothes.

Chanel. The model got its name due to the fact that it recreates the silhouette of the famous coat of the legendary Coco Chanel. The fur coat has a trapezoid cut, which traditionally emphasizes the beauty and richness of the fur. The collar here is small and turn-down, the sleeves are 3/4 length. In this case, a belt is not provided in principle. Since this model does not like excesses in the female image, it can be combined with classic clothes.

Fitted. A slight hint of waist always slims even the curviest figure. This fur coat model emphasizes the femininity of the figure, giving sophistication and smoothness to the curves. Such options may be suitable not only for slender female models. Therefore, they should not be discarded by representatives with chic shapes. As a decorative accessory, a leather or fur belt looks elegant on a short fur coat of a fitted model.

Butterfly. Very popular model: medium length, flared hem and cap sleeves. Some people like the fact that a butterfly fur coat hides figure flaws, while others like the freedom of movement. The model looks impressive on ladies with curvy figures. It got its name due to its wide wing-like sleeves. A butterfly fur coat looks impressive with classic trousers and ankle boots.

Bat. Bold play with sleeves is in demand today more than ever, and a loose cut leaves room for imagination. Women's fur coats with this type of sleeves look simply luxurious and add sophistication to the look. Unlike previous seasons, the bat fur coat is present not only in dark colors. The model should be combined with simpler wardrobe items.

Bell. The main feature of this model is that it begins to expand straight from the chest. Popular lengths are knee-length or slightly lower. The shape of such a fur coat most closely resembles a bell, which is where the name actually comes from. This model allows you to create a fairly feminine look.

Balloon. The hem of such a fur coat resembles a tulip skirt, and the sleeves are an elongated version of the “batwing”. A shortened trapezoid allows you to emphasize the beauty of your legs; besides, the length to the knees is now one of the most popular. This option is often complemented by a drawstring at the hips or at the waist. In general, the cylinder is not intended for extreme cold. But he can demonstrate the status of his owner immediately.

With a hood. This decorative element allows you not only to beautifully frame your face, creating a majestic and regal image, but also serves as a headdress in cold weather, without spoiling the hairstyle due to its voluminous shape.

There are fur coats with a hood for every taste. This detail can be large and lush, or neat, small and inconspicuous. Designers are happy to experiment, surprising those around them. The main thing is that in such a fur coat attention should be drawn to the top, and not to the sleeves. Everything else, judging by what was presented on the podium, is permitted.

The execution of this decorative element can be done either in the tone of the fur coat itself, or using more luxurious varieties of fur to add luxury to the contours of the face. In addition to aesthetics, fur perfectly protects delicate women's skin from severe frosts, prevents the appearance of wrinkles and a feeling of dryness.

Chamomile. The model got its name from the location of the fur plates. They form a pattern reminiscent of the corresponding flower. This season, the emphasis on rounded shoulders is especially relevant, which allows you to create the effect of a peculiar flow of a fur coat from a woman. You can find options both with and without a belt, with a hood or with a turn-down collar.

Shirt. Ultra-short options, which really look like shirts, are best suited for women who literally never part with their car. Such women's fur coats with tight leather pants look bold and even daring, allowing you to demonstrate all the advantages of your figure at once.

Cross coat. Thanks to the special arrangement of the fur plates, the fur coat looks elegant and laconic. Can be complemented with a spectacular stand-up collar and belt. One of the wonderful new products of the fur industry is the transverse transformable fur coat. This fur coat has sleeves and a hood with a hidden zipper. All this can be unfastened according to the weather and mood. The cross fur coat is an example of elegance.

Jellyfish. The emphasized femininity of this model traditionally attracts a certain part of the target audience to it. The trapezoid from the chest, the presence of cuffs and edging have become characteristic and recognizable, but the use of cropped fur or playing with rare shades are already signs of the latest season.

Fur coat-robe. A style that remained in the shadows for a long time, but has now again attracted the attention of designers: a fur coat with a wrap, complemented by a belt. The length of a fashionable women's fur coat can be to suit every taste.

Classification of women's fur coats by length

Fur coat models are usually divided into three categories based on length:

short;
average;
long.

A short fur coat looks fashionable and mischievous. This is a comfortable model of a classic fur coat, adapted for car ladies. Its length is not lower than mid-thigh. A fur coat cannot be called voluminous. Typically, the model of such a fur coat has a flared bottom.

Fur coats of medium length (just above or below the knee) are most popular due to their convenience and practicality.

The most elegant and sophisticated option for winter fur coats are long, floor-length women's fur coats that look great. But although they look luxurious and very beautiful, they are not always practical and comfortable, given the length and weight of such outerwear, as well as the fact that in winter the bottom of a fur coat can be pretty damaged, especially in bad weather. Long, floor-length fur coats are an evening option for going out.

Women's fur coats made of natural and artificial fur

Natural fur coats, as before, remain a priority. They will never go out of style. The fur looks very beautiful. In such a fur coat you always feel warm, comfortable, and reliable. No woman feels as comfortable in any thing as in a natural fur coat.

Women's sable fur coats. This fur has always been considered a sign of wealth and prosperity. Even in the times of Ancient Rus', sable fur was jokingly called “soft gold”; all royal nobles dressed in decorations with its frame. Due to its splendor and majesty, sable fur is still actively used today for the manufacture of luxurious items of outerwear.

All kinds of natural shades of fur delight modern designers with their originality and uniqueness, allowing them to create unrivaled fashion solutions.

Sable fur wears well and retains its appearance for more than 10 years. Products made from it lend themselves well to chemical processing, which makes it possible to give them an unusual and rich color.

Mink coat. Mink fur is considered a classic in modern fashion. It is very popular and appreciated by fashionistas for having the following qualities: beautiful, soft, warm and practical to wear. Also, a mink coat is suitable for owners of the fair sex of any age with any type of appearance and figure. A mink coat is always luxurious and elegant.

Women's fur coats made of arctic fox. This fur has a special density and significant thermal insulation properties, and with its magnificent appearance it has won the hearts of women of all age groups. The solemnity of the elongated lush pile creates a stunning feminine silhouette, ideally combined with all kinds of accessories, stylish pleated skirts and trousers.

Marten fur coats. The fur of a predatory and dangerous animal is a real luxury item; it is hypoallergenic and has breathable functions. Products made from marten are very expensive, since the animals are not specially bred.

Wolf fur coat. The fur is durable, fluffy, warm, lasts a long time, and has water-repellent properties. The model range is varied - short, medium length, with a hood, with leather inserts.

Women's rabbit fur coats. In the hands of famous designers, this fur is transformed into creative and extraordinary models using non-standard decorative jewelry and framing. Freshness, lightness, tenderness are the main distinguishing characteristics of short fur coats made from rabbit. Improved finishing and coloring of skins sometimes transforms them visually into chinchilla hair, making them more refined and richer.

New technologies today have stepped forward so far that soon faux fur will become almost indistinguishable from natural fur in structure and degree of hairiness, and in terms of thermal insulation properties.

How to measure the length of a fur coat?

When planning to buy a fur coat, many women wonder how to choose the size of a fur coat and take measurements.

Before taking measurements, you need to tie a thin fabric tape around your waist. It will make it easier to take measurements from the waist area.

It is important to tie the binding strictly horizontally. This can be checked with a measuring tape by measuring the distance from the waist to the floor at the back, as well as at the front. You need to take measurements of your waist by wrapping it tightly with a measuring tape. Measurements should be taken at the narrowest point.

It is important to understand that the waist size matters when the product is fitted. If the product is presented in the form of a trapezoid, the waist size will not matter.

The next parameter is the length of the product. This measurement should be taken from the waist to the desired length of the women's fur product.

Next, you need to pay attention to measuring your chest circumference. When measuring the chest circumference, it is important not to overtighten the measuring tape along the most convex parts.

If a woman has an unusually wide (or very narrow) back, it is important to take a back width measurement. It is removed horizontally along the straightened back through the center of the shoulder blades.

Having taken your measurements, you need to take into account that the fur coat will not be worn on a naked body, but on a sweater/jumper/warm jacket. Therefore, you need to take an outfit one size larger.

Correct length

The length of the fur coat should also be comfortable and practical. Long ones are suitable, accordingly, only for tall and stately girls. If you are not in this category, you should forget about the “floor” options.

The medium length will look great on medium and short people, as it is considered universal. Short options can only be afforded by those with an ideal figure.

For others, a short length is contraindicated - it will emphasize plump legs and large buttocks, making you look awkward and fat.

We choose the length of the fur coat according to the lifestyle and method of movement around the city

You need to choose the length of your fur coat based not only on your preferences, but also on your lifestyle. If a girl prefers to move around the city every day in her personal car, she should choose a shortened model of the Autolady - this is a shortened version of the product that is very comfortable behind the wheel.

If work is located close to home and the fair sex goes to work on foot, you can safely choose a long fur coat. She will emphasize the grace of a woman and her special charm.

If you travel around the city by metro or bus, it makes sense to pay attention to a product of medium length. This option is convenient, warm and comfortable. The average length is good because it does not imply the presence of a hem that is too long, which clings to everything and gets dirty easily.

Use the tips suggested above when choosing the length of your fur coat. Choose the product you like and enjoy the beauty of your new look!

Fur coat sleeve length

Not only fashion should be taken into account, but also the practicality of the cut when choosing a purchase. If the sleeves are not comfortable and constantly get in the way, you will not enjoy owning such a thing. In addition, it will lose its appearance very quickly. The trend now is balloon sleeves, accountant sleeves and classic wide ones, which will never go out of style and always look chic.

If you are not a fan of experiments, traditional classics will always make you look appropriate and beautiful. And if you want to attract attention, feel free to experiment! Just remember that clothes should fit well on your body and be true to size. When your weight and size change, don’t be too lazy to take your fur coat to the studio and have it sewn in or make beautiful inserts in the right places.

How to choose the right fur coat

As I already said, analyzing common and unobvious mistakes, there are fur coats that are better not to take. Now let's talk about fur coats worthy of our attention and our shoulders.

Before we begin, remember the rule: a fur coat, like the rest of your wardrobe, is selected to suit your color type. And fur is a luxurious, accent item, so the rest of the wardrobe is built around it. Also, a fur coat ALWAYS makes you look fat and you have to come to terms with it. The main silhouettes are trapezoid, straight, O-shaped (this silhouette is also called “cocoon”).

Short fur coats

Long just below the waist. As a rule, the silhouette is straight or trapezoid. 3/4 or long sleeves. A long one is better - it makes the fur coat look more harmonious.

Important! Such a fur coat should have a turn-down collar to balance the proportions. It is better to choose a fur coat from short or long, but not fluffy and loose fur. Sable or scribe, due to its volume and thickness, will turn you into a ball. No inserts on the sides or belts - it doesn’t look good.

If you take it without a collar, the silhouette will be chopped off; a stand-up collar is even worse - the head will turn out to be disproportionately small

This is NOT how your fur coat SHOULD look. Look how voluminous fur transforms your figure into a ball and how the stand-up collar breaks up the proportions.

Mid-thigh

The silhouette is only trapezoidal or straight. The O-shaped one will turn you into a doll. Not a porcelain German one, but a hawkmoth butterfly. A belt is not allowed - it cuts the figure VERY badly.

It is better to choose 3/4 sleeves and add long gloves, it looks amazing. The collar is shortened or without a collar, the voluminous collar greatly widens the shoulders.

Large fur, straight and trapezoidal silhouettes, a small collar will make you a stylish and beautiful lady

Dense fur is acceptable if height starts from 170 cm. Otherwise, we get the same fur ball as in the short version.

Here we see how the hood and constriction disfigure the figure. The third photo is voluminous fur and a huge collar, and photo No. 4 is an illustration of how a short girl will look in voluminous fur, and even in an O-shaped silhouette. If the fur coat was a little longer and the silhouette was straight, it would be great.

Do not take a sleeve that is too short, to the elbow, as this will widen your figure at the waist. Long is acceptable, but it doesn’t look as impressive as 3/4.

Knee - mid-calf

It's better to take it without a collar. With the exception of long fur coats, they do not “fit” without a collar. Any fur is acceptable, everyone looks good in this length. Contrasting inserts and leather inserts on the sides, sleeves, etc. are allowed. 3/4 and long sleeves are good.

Any silhouette - straight, trapezoidal and O-shaped.

The only option that can be conditionally worn with a belt. The main thing is that it is made of the same material as the fur coat and is wide enough, about 5-7 cm.

Floor-length fur coats are not acceptable.

Faux fur is acceptable if it is of high quality and does not disguise itself as sable or arctic fox. Despite progress in this regard, they have not yet learned how to make artificial fur of the same quality as sable; it will be obvious that it is a fake. This type of fur is also a high trend and a craze among fashion designers. The downside is that it produces a little heat; this fashion will be in greater demand in the southern regions.

PS If a fur coat is not a matter of prestige and style, but a matter of survival in winter (relevant for the northern regions of our vastness), then wear whatever you want, focusing solely on warmth. Because risking your health for the sake of style and fashion is stupid.

What length fur coat should I choose?

Although the recommended length of a fur coat largely depends on your body type (see point 1), you may choose a long or short model for completely different reasons. For example, in terms of comfort or practicality.

Long

In Russia, a long fur coat is not a luxury, but a necessity. If warmth is the main criterion in choosing a fur coat, full-length models will not let you down.

Knee length

Optimal length of a fur coat: the clothes will not be too heavy, but will protect well from wind and frost.

Mid-thigh

Perhaps the most popular style: it looks stylish and elegant, and covers the lower back. And if longer models are best worn with heels, then flat shoes will also go well with such a fur coat. We devoted a separate article to the question of what to wear a fur coat with.

Up to the waist

This fur coat is called “autolady”, and it speaks for itself. The fur coat is very short, it is more simply beautiful than warm.

CHOOSING A WOMEN'S FUR COAT

Sellers of fur coats who buy products from clothing factories and who care about their fur reputation must have, in addition to the quality certificate, a label on the back of the fur coat. It must indicate in legible Russian the article number, size of the fur coat, type of fur, name of the manufacturer, color of the fur, as well as other descriptions depending on the technical conditions of production of this product and the requirements set by GOST.

You should buy a fur coat slowly. In the store, look at what high-quality fur looks like, try it to the touch, carefully examine the seams, pay attention to the coloring of the fur coat. Smell your favorite fur coat. It should not stink of the disgusting smell of a killed animal - if there is such a smell, discard it, as there is a violation of the technology for processing animal skins.

The fur coat model is selected depending on the purpose. The size must match the figure. When choosing a fur coat according to height, you need to remember that it is trimmed, but this disrupts the cut of the product and the roundness of the waist. Therefore, short girls should refuse long fur coats.

For blondes, fur coats made from bright fox and brown mink fur are suitable. But at the same time you need to be attentive to the quality - often the fur is dyed. This will cause it to wear less than the natural color. Therefore, check the quality of the fur coat before purchasing and do not believe the sweet words of sellers about natural fur and the absence of fakes.

The fur should be soft, pleasant to the touch, clean and fluffy, in a word, evoke good emotions in you, forcing you to buy a women's fur coat without hesitation. If this is not the case and the seller convinces you that the fur coat is wrinkled and will straighten out during wear, refuse. Otherwise, you will buy a fur coat from an animal that was caught during molting, and such a women’s fur coat will simply peel off in a year. High-quality fur is always shiny, thick and fluffy at the same time.

The fur of any animal can be long-haired or short-haired. It is divided into several varieties, wild animal and caged on a farm or at home, so the price depends on this. By the weight of the fur coat, by weighing, you can determine whether the fur is from a female or a male. Females are lighter in weight but less warm.

A good fur coat in our country is considered a luxury item among ladies because of its high price. If you decide to purchase a fur coat, then get ready to carefully care for it while wearing it. The optimal warmest fur coat is considered to be made from the fur of beaver, arctic fox and sable.

WHAT TO WEAR WITH A WOMEN'S FUR COAT

The ever-increasing popularity of fur has made it not an elite, but a truly democratic material. Globalization also plays a significant role here. As a result, options for combining fur coats with hats, clothes and shoes are now becoming more and more daring and unexpected.

Choosing a headdress

A fur coat is a rather capricious thing in terms of compatibility with different hats. However, there are several rules that will help you choose a very harmonious combination.

A fur hat is a universal option and is suitable for both young girls and older ladies.
A hat with earflaps is suitable for those who want to add a little nostalgic originality to their image.
A knitted hat should be made with large knitting. It is worth abandoning sports hat models.
The scarf is perfect under a fur coat. It can be either silk or wool, everything will depend only on the weather.

What shoes to wear with a fur coat?

The choice of shoes is a very important point. No one will notice a sweater worn under a coat, but boots will immediately attract attention.

Most people think that under fur you should only wear stiletto boots, period. This is not entirely true, and there are many more options. Stiletto heels in winter are not very comfortable and unsafe, especially narrower models of boots do not retain heat well. Try to combine business with pleasure and complement your look with UGG boots, which are comfortable and very warm.
Sneakers should be winter, insulated and with a sole appropriate for the time of year.
Ankle boots with high heels or flat soles, the choice is yours. It all depends on the occasion and the style of the entire image.
A short sheepskin coat will look good with low-cut boots. If you can't live without extra inches in your instep, consider boots with solid soles or wide, stable heels. Stylish and safe, unlike thin heels.

What to wear with a short fur coat?

A short fur coat reveals your legs and poses a challenge: what to wear under it?

Tight leather trousers or leggings are already timeless and are relevant every year in the autumn-winter period. Fur against the background of glossy leather looks even more noble, and the whole set becomes stylish and daring.
Women's jeans today come with any top. Whether it's mink or fashionable faux fur coats.
A midi pencil skirt, wool or leather/suede is just the thing. Mini is not suitable for winter.

Selecting a bag and gloves

The most ideal combination for fur is leather. Elegant leather or suede accessories will complete the luxurious look with a fur item. Choose a bag and gloves that are a lighter tone than your fur coat, or vice versa - darker.

White

White fur coats are rarely purchased for every day. Usually this is a second fur coat, for special occasions.

Mink coat at MARCONI

From 349,000 rub.

Goat fur coat at MARCONI

From 199,000 rub.

Colored fur

A very fashionable option. Designed, of course, for girls who love attention. Green, red, blue - you can find any shade in stores. Learn how and with what to combine colored fur using the examples of stars. If it’s difficult to decide on buying a colored fur coat, buy bright fur accessories.

Which fur to choose from?

Most Russian women choose natural fur, although artificial fur coats are becoming more and more popular every year.

The price of a natural fur coat depends not only on the fur, but also on the manufacture, length, and color. For example, a mink coat can be bought for either 60 thousand or 500 thousand.

If price is not important, then fur is chosen according to three criteria: wear time, heaviness of fur, warmth of fur. A few examples:

How to choose a quality fur coat?

When you have decided on the fur, style, color and length and have found the fur coat of your dreams, be sure to do the following manipulations:

pinch the fur - if there are hairs left in your fingers, the fur coat will shed;

spread the undercoat with your fingers and look at the color of the skin: if the skin has not been dyed, then its color should remain white; if you intentionally buy a dyed fur coat, then rub the fur with an ordinary scarf - a good dye should not leave any traces;

check the seams: they should be stitched very carefully and almost imperceptibly;

run your hand against the fur: the down should be thick and the hairs should not break. Squeeze the fur - a quality product will not deteriorate;

pay attention to how the fur coat smells: there should not be an unpleasant smell.

Features of choice depending on fur

The most common products on the domestic market are mink products. This fur is characterized by soft, iridescent hair, slightly stiffer and more elastic than that of a rabbit. When stroking against the grain, it returns to its original state.

Luxurious sable has no equal in thickness and splendor.
The rabbit seduces with its softness and tenderness; all the hairs are the same length.

Mink coat: a must-have for winter or an outdated outfit in the “expensive-rich” style

Good afternoon, dear readers!
Every winter on the streets and in transport I see women carrying a fur coat made of natural fur on their shoulders. No, like this, with a capital letter: Fur coat. As a rule, this fur coat is “made up” for more than one year. To buy a mink coat, they often take out a loan, because this thing is not cheap, you can’t buy it right away. Many people justify the presence of a mink coat in their wardrobe by the need for warm clothing. Someone else refers to living in a cold climate, where without a fur coat you can literally freeze in the snow. Among those who stand at the bus stop in the morning waiting for the bus, there is a belief that a mink coat warms better than more technologically advanced clothing.

Already unfashionable mink coat

Many adult women still sincerely believe that any piece of fur and the notorious diamonds can instantly transform them. They believe that mink fur has some kind of magical power that gives freshness and youth to fading skin, attracts the gaze of men and makes the entire wardrobe look more advantageous.

Let's look at a mink coat through the prism of fashion trends that exist in the world today. Perhaps there are options for fur coat models that can really make the owner of a natural fur coat more beautiful and attractive.

Model "autolady"

Whoever named this fur coat model that way didn’t know that not all cars have a heated seat function. Even if it exists, it does not work immediately in winter. Short sleeves are especially inconvenient in our climate. Bare wrists stick out from them or the clothes underneath a fur coat are visible. In addition, the fashion for such sleeves passed 10 years ago.

Modern models of short fur coats have an English collar and long, narrow sleeves. The belt is optional, for those who like to emphasize the waist so that the fur coat looks less square.

Hip-length fur coat

The most popular model, which many still buy and wear, is a fur coat-cape, with extended bell or bat sleeves. Textures and silhouettes changed, but the fur coat continues to be found on our streets. She was especially loved by women with curvy figures. They think that this type of fur coat will hide everything unnecessary. In fact, on the contrary, a shapeless fur coat turns the owner into a ball.

As a result, fashion took another turn, and fur coats reminiscent of this model appeared on the catwalks last year, which our women did not stop wearing and did not suspect that there was also a fashion for fur coats. Only fashionable designer ponchos still look different from fur coats with wide sleeves from the fur market’s assortment.

For the Russian climate, a fur coat is a very impractical thing. It blows into the wide sleeves, and the cold also creeps in from below. Lightweight fur is usually used for such a fur coat. There is no warmth from it, no view either.

An alternative to the outdated fur coat model is a fashionable straight-cut fur coat with a turn-down collar and lapels that can be decorated with fluffier fur. This fur coat resembles an aviator model and has the rebellious spirit of a conqueror of northern latitudes.

Knee-length fur coat

Markets and online stores are still full of fur coat models with a large gold button “decorating” the neck. Ties, drawstrings, and gathers on the fur coat make this model even less attractive. The flared silhouette of a mink coat without a collar cannot be called fashionable, and it will not be warm. If you remove the hood, the absence of a collar unsightly reveals the neck.

The current mink coat model that is worth investing in now is a model with a modern cut, similar to a straight coat with turn-down lapels and welt pockets. This model has no unnecessary details and is made in a minimalist design. A straight fur coat can be easily combined with accessories in any style and look stylish.

Fur coat with hood

Previously, trapezoid fur coat models with a collar that went straight into the hood were popular. Such a silhouette of a fur coat did not allow the warmth to linger; the wind was blowing along the back. Such a silhouette only gave additional volume to an oversized figure.

If you are used to wearing a hood instead of a hat in winter, pay attention to modern models of mink coats, in which the hood forms a beautiful line on the chest when it is removed. The silhouette of such a fur coat is straight and loose, which can be belted and outline the figure.

For many, a fur coat is a luxury item; it is chosen carefully and for a long time. And so that it doesn’t become outdated in a couple of seasons, you need to approach the choice of model responsibly.

Several models, as often happens in the fashion world, returned from oblivion:

— astrakhan fur coats;
- mink;
- Cheburashka fur coat, teddy;
- artificial fur;
- leopard print;
- long;
- fur coats in patchwork style.

From the latest fashion items in the world of fur coats:

- shortened;
- unusual print (geometric patterns, funny designs);
- with a belt;
— non-standard cut (basque, open shoulders, chest pockets, poncho);
- white. Not the most everyday option, but it’s hard to go unnoticed with her;
- multi-colored. Previously, there wasn’t much choice: black, brown, red. But now, you can choose any color;
- in oversized style. The fashion for tight-fitting outerwear has long passed, and it has been replaced by oversized clothing that will fit any figure.

The most important advice is not to wear a fur coat unless necessary: if the temperature outside is above zero, there is a little rain, and you are walking around in a warm fluffy fur coat, it will look very ridiculous.

A fur coat is no longer considered something unique, so trying to prove something to someone with its help is useless. Nowadays it is more likely just a fashionable wardrobe item that can be worn not only with elegant dresses and heels, but also with simple jeans and rough boots.

The remaining nuances are for you to find out further.
