Types of coat collars: “Mao”, “Peter Pan”, “Apache” and others

When choosing a fur product, every woman carefully evaluates all the characteristics of the model offered to her. One of the important indicators is whether the collar of a mink coat matches its style. This indicator also affects the overall style of the product.

Fur coat with hood

Modern fashion, which is considered a rather capricious lady, classifies exquisite fur collars as stylish favorites, paying special attention to them. The imagination of fashion designers when choosing materials can be limitless - luxurious components of fur coats are made from silver fox, marten, lynx, sable and many other materials.

White fur coat

Legacy from the discreet English

A mink coat with an English collar will testify to the impeccable taste of any woman. The neck is as open as possible; you can use a matching scarf or, depending on weather conditions, leave it unchanged. This is an incredibly beautiful collar that goes with a mink coat of any length. The photo shows the English version of the sable sew-on product, which adds a fashionable accent to the fur product.

Main characteristics:

• small size;
• absence of unnecessary details;
• strict forms;
• the maximum is the presence of a small brooch on one side.

“Pipe” and its variety “Funnel”

The same as the “collar”, but made of stiffer fabric, without numerous cozy folds and waves.

Exquisite stand for sophisticated ladies

The stand-up collar is a representative of the timeless classic, which will protect against frost and strong wind, and also decorate shortened mink fur coats. Such clothes look incredibly stylish, playful and feminine. A mink coat, the stand-up collar of which is set off with a romantic brooch, is shown in the photo.

Which models does the stand look ideal with:

• short fur coats of any color;
• strict, straight-cut, floor-length products;
• mink outerwear of any length with a cross cut is a new product, in the manufacture of which the skins are sewn crosswise, having clear dividing seams.

"Clamp"

And this is greetings from the recent Soviet past. The “collar” was born from an English knitted sweater, or rather from its neck (this fashion came to the USSR in the 60s). At first he was very reminiscent of his ancestors - he was knitted, soft and tall. Later he began to sew from other materials: cashmere, wool, satin.

“Homutik,” as this type is affectionately called by needlewomen and fashion designers, softens the lines of a classic coat and gives it a touch of charming femininity. In recent years, the cowl collar increasingly prefers to appear solo, becoming a separate item of women's wardrobe.

Mink coat collars in apache style

This is a very elegant piece of outerwear. Belongs to the category of stand-up collars. A mink coat decorated with it turns into a little daring and frivolous. And this is not surprising - the piece of clothing comes from the country that dictates fashion conditions for the whole world - France. Translated, “apash” means “hooligan.”

A slightly casual style, reminiscent of an unbuttoned shirt collar, looks great with a fur coat of any length and style. The photo shows this item of clothing. It focuses attention on the neck and looks very flattering with three-quarter sleeves. Recently, the apache collar has been considered a classic option; it can be made either as a sewn-on or removable part of outerwear. It has stand-up features, so even if you forget to put on a scarf, you don’t have to worry about freezing.

Stand collars

"Stand-up" collars were the first collars to appear on outerwear. In the 13th century, they were narrow strips of fabric - no more than two centimeters - on Burgundian cloaks and jackets. Jackets at that time were called insulated trapezoidal jackets of knights, worn under armor. From the 15th century, standing collars began to grow taller and wider, resulting in the appearance of such phantasmagoric styles as the “millstone”. It is said that the hem of this starched pleated collar was so cruel that without removing it it was impossible to reach the mouth with one's hand. But I wanted to eat. Therefore, the Italians, who had a special love for the “millstone,” had to invent the fork.

Today, the stand is used primarily for sewing outerwear, and its height varies between 2-5 centimeters. The most popular types of racks are “mandarin”, “clamp” and “pipe”.

Gift from Coco Chanel

Nothing superfluous - just an open neck, emphasizing the swan neck, and a round neckline. It is stylish and fashionable in any season. A mink coat with a Chanel collar is suitable for any event, be it a trip to the theater, a social event or just to work. Even a product in the style of a car lady (short model) can be combined with this type of finish.

Exquisite hood for romantic natures

Such a collar has, first of all, a practical purpose - to keep you warm in frosty conditions and strong winds. Suitable for those who do not accept hats and other headwear.

Suitable for any type of face, framing it with weightless fur waves. The bottom is fastened with a decorative button, clasp or brooch. Its magical shine, especially in artificial lighting, successfully sets off a product of any shade.

Can be made from sable, lynx or silver fox. Natural fur does not irritate the delicate skin of the face, even if you spend the whole day in a fur coat. In the photo you can see a fur coat with this type of collar. Easily combined with fur products of any length and style.

Choosing a fur coat with a collar is a purely individual process. Sometimes you can try on many options to find the perfect one for you. This can be a classic straight-cut mink coat with a sable collar or an elongated model. Each woman chooses an individual style for herself, and it may not always coincide with the fashion trends of the season. Current models, which are at the height of fashion today, can look ridiculous and pretentious, but on the contrary, strict “retro” images are refreshing and slimming.

Accessories and collars: tandem or dilemma

If you have already purchased a fur coat with a short collar, but something is missing, you should add charm with the help of separate accessories. The most popular is a scarf or neckerchief. Light, almost weightless silk fabric pleasantly touches the skin and performs a decorative rather than a warming function.

If a lady can’t figure out how to wear a fur coat without a collar, she can choose a warm scarf. It is better if the accessory is in the form of a collar, wrapped around the neck in several layers, but without excess. The loose ends of a scarf do not go well with fur perfection. Knowing how to wear a scarf with a fur coat with a collar will complement her look and provide additional comfort and warmth.

It is important to choose accessories by color. If the fur coat is dark, white, all pastel colors, as well as any bright option are combined with it. The universal color is gray; it matches all types of fur products, emphasizing the perfection of the skin and eyes.

My friend has a black mink fur coat with a lynx fur collar. An extraordinarily beautiful thing. She bought it from Elena Furs at a promotion with a 20% discount and installments without interest for two years, she pays 7,500 rubles a month. The fur coat is, of course, just a fairy tale, and at such a reasonable price.

Roxana. Amazing, what a “bargain”! The fur gets old, the fur coat becomes unusable, the style goes out of fashion... And my friend keeps paying and paying... It would be better if she invested in jewelry rather than soft gold :) And girls who buy furs on credit and pay interest are simply sick. Well, or financially illiterate at least.

Stand-up

They consist of two parts: a hidden stand and a visible pointed or, conversely, rounded extension.

Despite the variety of stand-up collars (“kent”, “butterfly”, “vario”, “tab”, etc.), only one model is usually used for sewing coats - “shark”. Its peculiarity is its widely spaced (like the mouth of a predator) departure corners. So wide that they form an obtuse angle. Other types of stand-up collars adorn men's and women's shirts.

Schalke

East and West are fighting for the right to call it their own. The former claim that the national Chinese robes had a similar collar shape, the latter are confident that the “Schalke” was an invention of the Byzantines, who have long loved to decorate the sides of outerwear with fur. From these disputes, only one thing is known for sure: in the old days, only a rich and noble person could afford a shawl collar. (The poor preferred more practical styles).

"Apache"

A strongly open rectangular collar, vaguely reminiscent of a guy in shape. It was popular in Russia in the 60s of the last century. In Europe, he has been known for a long time, but is considered the collar of rebellious youth and hooligans - Apaches. These young people from the country of noble wines and intricate streets wore such wide collars to show their independence, their disdain for the “noose” tie, because it was simply impossible to wear it with an apache shirt!

Types of fur

The most popular are mink, fox, arctic fox, sheepskin, and rabbit furs. The most durable and expensive fur is mink; it warms well and has an attractive, sophisticated appearance.

Fox fur is easy to dye and also looks quite expensive, while its cost is lower than that of mink. A winter coat with a fox fur collar looks very stylish and expensive. Arctic fox fur can be either long or cropped, and can also be painted in any color that matches the outerwear model.

Sheep or rabbit fur is quite affordable in terms of cost, so if you have a limited budget, you can take a closer look at them. Moreover, if you have allergies, then sheepskin is the first thing you should consider when choosing a winter coat with a fur collar.

Rabbit fur is the most short-lived, but if the coat is purchased for a couple of seasons, then this is an excellent inexpensive option.

Styles and models of coats with a fur collar

The couturiers have created fashionable winter coats that meet all the requirements of modern times. Various unique tailoring components are introduced into the design of products, which make the models stylish and unusual. Straight, fitted, flared styles meet aesthetic parameters and are in demand among spectacular ladies.

Raglan sleeves, kimonos, and square armholes highlight the uniqueness of the style. Coquettes, inserts, and patches will add novelty and originality to the models. Pintucks, darts, cuffs will decorate the products, making them attractive and stylish.

Modern fittings complement the models, making the styles attractive and unique. Large buttons, metal rivets with the company's imprint, and belt buckles look great against the background of the fabric. Trimming the bottom, sleeves and pockets in contrasting colors will make the model unique and unusual.

In fact, there are a lot of varieties of coat styles, but we still want to highlight the most fashionable and current ones.

• Trapezoidal coat. Such outerwear is suitable for women with any figure; a coat will help hide full hips or, on the contrary, will add volume to the hips and waist of thin girls.
• The style of the coat is hourglass. This style is now enjoying unprecedented popularity; it can rightfully be called classic and ideal. This coat is best combined with boots or high-heeled ankle boots.
• Straight coat. It is better for short girls to wear such a knee-length coat, and be sure to combine it with high-heeled shoes. Tall girls can afford knee-length and below-the-knee lengths, as well as flat shoes.
• Cropped coat. This coat goes perfectly with pencil skirts, as well as elegant fitted dresses, and of course high-heeled shoes.
• Coat with a flared hem. This style of clothing came into fashion relatively recently, but has already won the hearts of many fashionistas; it can be combined with cute flared skirts or dresses. As for shoes, stiletto ankle boots, over the knee boots or knee-high flat boots will look best.
• Long coat. This style of outerwear is best worn by tall, slender girls, combined with boots with flat soles.

Current colors

Color plays a huge role in creating a beautiful, harmonious image. Fashion is changeable, each time giving preference to one color or another, but there are shades that remain relevant from season to season - brown-beige, dark green, dark blue, black.

In such coats, it is very important to choose the ideal combination of fabric color and fur shade - this will determine how the model will look and how harmonious the image will be.

The task of designers is made easier by the fact that modern technologies make it possible to give furs any shade, so you can choose the fur that perfectly matches any color of fabric. If we talk about natural colors, there are furs that harmonize with most colors.

Thus, silver fox goes well with both dark and light and bright fabrics. The arctic fox looks better with a coat of gray tones, and the brown mink looks better with fabrics of the same palette.

English collar

The most popular and perfect coats of all time are coats with an English collar similar to these models. Strict and elegant like an English aristocrat, he has been out of fashion and time for three centuries in a row; it’s not for nothing that almost all the coats of the President of Russia are decorated with this respectable collar! Appearing first as a detail of men's clothing, the English collar became, and still remains, an integral part of business style for both men and women. He is gaining more and more fans due to the fact that he fits well into any dress code. It is found in many types of women's clothing: coats, dresses, blouses, which allows you to diversify your office wardrobe. If we talk about a coat with such a collar, then to successfully complete it, it is recommended to wear a turtleneck under it or cover your neck beautifully with a scarf, but do not leave it open, especially in cold weather.

Flat-lying

Purely women's collars, which were brought into fashion... by a man. The cutesy King of England, Henry III, was passionate about dressing up. And also perfume yourself, wear white stockings and curl your hair. One day, the king considered that the popular “millstones” were very heavy and not elegant enough and ordered a camisole with a light lace collar to be made for himself. Well, what the head of state wears, everyone wears. Later, such collars began to be sewn from satin and velvet, pinched with a brooch and tied with a ribbon for greater beauty.

Today, finding outerwear with a flat collar is a great success. These coat models are beautiful, a little naive, incredibly feminine, but not very practical (they cover the neck poorly), so they are supplied to stores in limited quantities.
