Fox fur coats win the heart of a fashionista with their lightness, magnificent fur and exquisite luxury charm. Natural models will be popular in 2019-2020. Read about how to choose the right fur for the winter in this article.


Not a single designer has yet been able to come up with clothes that would not be inferior in characteristics to fur coats. The Russian climate forces girls to buy very warm winter clothes. But, with all this, you should always look beautiful and stylish. In the fashion world there are a wide variety of different fur coats. These can be fluffy or smooth-haired products. One of the sought-after and very practical parts of a woman’s wardrobe is a natural fox fur coat, which in the winter of 2019-2020 is in great demand among young fashionistas and adult women.

A variety of models of women's outerwear from silver and red, silver and black fox allows you to choose a style, as they say, for every taste and budget. However, before making this rather expensive purchase, it is important to obtain at least initial knowledge about this luxurious fur. The article talks about how to care for fox fur and how to choose a suitable model of a coat or short fur coat. There are also examples of what you can wear with it.

Look at the photo of the fox fur coat model for winter 2019 and choose your favorite style among them:

Features of natural fox fur

A distinctive feature of natural fox fur is that there are many varieties of the animal. It is bred in artificial conditions. Natural fur coats always differ in the structure of the pile and undercoat. Unlike the same mink, a fox fur coat costs several times less. But, unfortunately, they are inferior in terms of wear resistance. A natural fur coat can last a maximum of 3-4 seasons. Many fashionistas note that already in the second year the product begins to shed and crumbles a lot.

Fox skins are very delicate and easily deformed. This is not only a plus (variety of models), but also a big minus. Fur coats made from such fur quickly begin to tear when exposed to moisture. If you get caught in the rain wearing such a product and do not dry it in time, then even the newest model will begin to tear at the seams. Fashionistas face this problem much more often than we would like.

Also, a feature of fox fur is that it wipes off quickly. This is especially true for car lady models. That is why girls who spend most of their time driving try to choose short, cropped sheepskin coats with ¾ sleeves. Even on simple products, bald spots begin to appear after 1-2 years of wear. The places where the sleeves come into contact with the base are prone to this problem.

A huge plus of fox fur coats is that they easily “survive” dyeing in bright colors. Of course, coloring makes its own unpleasant contribution and slightly worsens the quality, but not as much as many girls say. Also, there are many varieties of the animal, which differ in color. This allows you not to dye your fur coats, which means the quality will not be lost. In nature, the color of a fox depends on where it lives. The colder the region, the brighter the animal's fur.

Look below at the photos of fox fur coats of different types - the most popular options for outerwear are shown:



Where does the red fox live?

The red fox lives almost everywhere on the planet: in Europe, Asia, North America, North Africa, Australia, with the exception of the Tundra and islands.

In Europe alone, the vast population of the common fox includes more than fifteen subspecies.

Foxes are able to adapt to any climatic conditions.

Quality of different fox fur options

As mentioned earlier, there are many varieties of foxes known in the world, many of which are used by fashion designers to create fur coats. Fox fur is highly valued by fur coat manufacturers. As they say: demand creates supply. Girls are so captivated by the quality of some materials and their luxurious appearance that they cannot easily pass by a product without appreciating it. Let's find out which fur options are popular and what quality they have.

There are many nurseries around the world that breed foxes for the mass production of fur coats. That is why we can distinguish several groups that differ from each other in the texture and structure of the pile. The first and most common group, even abroad, is the Russian fox. The fur of such an animal is practically indistinguishable from what can be obtained during hunting in its natural habitat. The guard hair is very long and most often rough to the touch. In artificial conditions it is possible to raise medium-sized animals. The undercoat of the Russian fox is soft and very dense.

The American Fox has slightly larger skins. This animal has a noticeably coarser pile and much longer hairs. A distinctive feature of American fur is that in the area of ​​the sacrum (between the shoulder blades) the fur is shorter, which creates a sharp transition.

The best fur is the Norwegian fox. Some designers call the products Scandinavian fox fur coats. This animal has very thick hair. The undercoat also has very soft and long hairs. Thanks to this feature, the underfur perfectly maintains the shape of the spine. Fashion designers consider this type of fur to be the best, so it is often used for finishing fur products and creating fur coats. Also, this type is very popular due to the fact that the skins are very large in size and are easier to sew and form into stylish coat models.

The most expensive natural fur

The Finnish fox differs from other types of fur in that it has almost the longest pile. This type of fox has large skins with a thick undercoat. Some girls compare the long Finnish force with large protruding feathers because of their length. From this type of fur, fashion designers create very stylish and fluffy fur coat models.

Natural varieties of foxes, which are used to create women's fur coats, are also popular, but less popular. The fact is that such material can cost several times more than that obtained from animals raised under artificial conditions. Nevertheless, fur is highly valued among designers and wealthy fashionistas.

The most expensive natural fur is the Ognevka fox. The animal is found in its natural environment in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. The material is distinguished by a very bright, saturated shade. Fashion designers try not to dye this fur, not only because they are afraid of ruining the texture, but also because the natural color is much more unique. The fur of the Ognevka with a reddish tint has an orange tint and a gray down. Therefore, it shimmers beautifully in the sun, creating warm, bright highlights.

Based on the fox variety Ognevka, many hybrid species have been bred. One of them has a bright color of cold tones. This color is a pale yellow shade, which gradually turns into a snow-white tone. The down is silvery with a white tint in the very depths.

The Seychelles fox looks very original and luxurious. A distinctive feature of the material is that the material has a yellow undercoat, which is very thick and shimmers beautifully in the sun. The pile is long and pale brown. In the sun, the product shimmers with the color of cinnamon or ocher.

Another popular Firefly hybrid is the fawn fox. It differs from other materials in that this material has a pink tint to the pile and a brown undercoat. On the ridge the fur has a light shade.

Clothing and accessories^

This season, well-known fashion houses refrained from revolutionary ideas, leaving over the knee boots (from 3,900 to 9,500 rubles) in trend, which perfectly emphasize the sophistication and charm of such a fur coat.

Not only classic colors, such as brown, black or beige, are welcome, but also extravagant combinations. For example, a red flame can be complemented with purple or light blue leather boots.

For a model with short sleeves, be sure to choose long gloves (from 1.2 thousand rubles).

In this case, this is not just an elegant accessory, but also the only way to keep your hand from freezing, because wearing a long-sleeve sweater with such a fur coat will not work.

will help you emphasize your slimness (290 - 700 rubles) . Since fox fur is quite fluffy, choose wide options; narrow belts are only suitable for the smooth variety.

The most unfortunate option for a headdress for a product made of fox fur is a fur hat. Instead, wear a scarf or a hat with a brim (from 1200 to 2500 rubles).

Furs for creating white fox coats

Not a single girl can pass by a luxurious white fox fur coat, and this is by no means a dyed or bleached material. To create such products, fashion designers use snow fox fur, which has a snow-white or silver-colored pile. Also, a white fur coat can be made from “platinum” fox. A distinctive feature of this fur is that the pile has a smooth gradient transition. The tip of the fiber is dark (silver), and closer to the base it turns into a snow-white shade.

A relative of the fox, the snow-white Arctic fox is an Arctic or polar fox, which is also used to create elite versions of fur coats. The polar animal can be distinguished in such a way that its fur is always white. No Arctic fox has a platinum or silver tint. The fur is clean, snow-white and very thick. Some fashion designers call this material “Arctic marble” for its excellent qualities and features. In the fashion world, this fur is one of the representatives of the elite line.

Some representatives of the Arctic fox have a black undercoat, which can be located at the ridge or at the neck. Absolutely snow-white fur is found only in a species called “Arctic Marble Frost Fox”.

What material is used for sewing dark fur coats?

A long time ago, fashion designers began to use silver fox fur, which still retains its relevance. A distinctive feature of this material is that it has a pile dyed in three colors. It is gray at the very base (including the undercoat in most cases). The middle of the hair is milky or snow-white, smoothly turning into the tip of a very dark color. This material is used for sewing fur coats in dark shades.

Fashion designers value this material very much. The silver fox, which has a lot of white, has a particularly high price. This contrast creates a beautiful play of shades in the sun. Also, unlike other models of fox fur coats, the silver fox has longer and higher pile. The brown tint of the fur of a silver fox remains even after the coloring procedure in bright colors.

The Canadian fox is another species that is used for fur coats. This fur is very similar in appearance to a silver fox, but it has practically no brown tint. The main natural colors characteristic of this type of material are grayish-black or silver with dark tips.

The dark red natural shades of the fox fur coat indicate that the girl purchased the product from a crossover. This variety was obtained by crossing the Silver Fox and the Ognevka. The species received this name due to the fact that the dark fur in the area of ​​the sacrum (between the shoulder blades) forms a cross.

The least expensive are fox coats, which are made from the fur of steppe animals. This material has a slightly yellowish tint. However, the color of the skin may vary depending on the season. In the winter season, the wool becomes brighter. Warm models can be made of a grayish shade, which is very popular.

Stylish looks

Fur coats are a voluminous version of outerwear. To emphasize the femininity of the silhouette, you can use a belt. Long models go well with accessories made of the same fur as the main item, with short ones - current fashion ideas allow for greater boldness. They can be complemented with suede and leather belts, including wide, corset ones.

Models and main trends in fox fur coat styles

In 2019-2020, it is simply impossible to understand all the variety of models without the help of stylists. There are many options for fox fur coat styles, and stylists never tire of experimenting with their creations and present something new every winter season.

Let's look at the photo of the main trends in fox fur coats, which can be seen more often than others on the shelves of fashionable fur boutiques:

One of the most popular and popular models is a fox fur coat with a hood. This product has become a classic in women's wardrobe. The fact is that these are the models that young active women choose more often than others. This is an ideal option for those who hate wearing hats. Oddly enough, a hat, if you have such a fur coat in your wardrobe, is far from the most important thing. You can refuse it, because a hood protects against the cold much better than a hat. Fashion designers are happy to experiment with the length of the product, but at the same time the most important detail always remains deep and very warm. There are models of fox fur coats with a hood decorated with fur on the inside in a contrasting color.

Tall and slender girls are happy to choose fox fur coats of the “cross” model. This style can hardly be called a novelty, since women have long loved them. Some stylists say that this model of fox fur coat is going out of fashion in 2019-2020, but this does not apply to those products that are made of natural material. A distinctive feature of the style is that the places where the skins are sewn are visible. Many fashion designers emphasize transitions, but this makes the value of the product less, since for this reason a fox fur coat can quickly become unsuitable.

For late autumn, fox fur coats with a knitted base are suitable. In winter, it is best not to wear such a product, as it warms less than full-fledged fur coats. Animal skins are sewn onto a knitted base so that there is a gap between the strips. An important advantage is that the model costs an order of magnitude less than a full-fledged fur coat. Strips of fox fur are most often sewn horizontally and the product smoothly fits feminine curves. Also, such models are less susceptible to deformation and rubbing.

If you are afraid that you will get tired of your fur coat during the winter season, then choose a product made from fox, which can change its appearance. Yes, yes, exactly change it. We are talking about a stylish “transformer” fur coat. For such models, the sleeves can be detached: completely or in parts. With a slight movement of the hand, the coat turns into a vest. Also, the “cross” model can adjust the length of the shelves in this way.

Knitted fox fur coat

A knitted fox fur coat looks very expensive, but it costs an order of magnitude less. Animal fur is woven onto a mesh base to create an attractive pattern. This material is often called fur knitwear. This fur is much lighter than full-fledged skins and is very much appreciated among young fashionistas.

Designers create the most interesting and original models by sewing fox fur coats from pieces. Some fashionistas are mistaken when they say that defective pieces of fur are used for such products. Actually this is not true. Pieces that were not used or did not match the shade when creating a fox fur coat are used for production. Such things cost less, but look very stylish and attractive.

If a girl has a full figure and a great love for fox fur, then she should pay attention to products made from sheared fur. During this procedure, the material is processed in such a way that the guard pile is equal in length to the undercoat. A cropped fox does not look so fluffy and emphasizes a beautiful figure well, fitting it smoothly.

For those girls who cannot imagine their life without a car, it is worth choosing fox fur coats of the “autolady” model. These are very short fur jackets, most often made from sheared fur. This material does not deteriorate upon contact with the seat and does not roll into unpleasant lumps. There is less chance that there will be places where the fur is completely worn out. It is possible that such a fur coat may have short sleeves and a hood. It has become very fashionable to use “transformer” fox fur coats as a “car lady” model.

The unraveling sewing procedure significantly increases the weight of the product. But this in no way detracts from the popularity of fur coats. During the procedure, the skins are cut into even strips and stitched horizontally. Thus, the model becomes similar to a “cross”, but the pieces are much smaller, and the product fits tightly to the figure.

Look at the fox fur coats in the photo, which illustrates all the new items for 2021 and fashion trends:

Current colors of fox fur coats: natural shades and dyed products

The most current shades of fox fur coats are natural colors. They are valued more than those obtained by fashion designers by dyeing the material. The fact is that coloring has a bad effect on the quality of the product. Dyed fur is less durable and most often begins to shed faster.

The most popular color, thanks to which fox fur coats are chosen, is red. The fox Ognevka has this shade. But, it is considered the most expensive fur from this series. There are other varieties of fox that have this hue, but they are usually not as rich and vibrant.

Gray or dark colors are typical for silver fox fur coats. Such models are valued more if their color is predominantly snow-white. Some girls choose natural fluffy fox fur coats precisely in order to get a dark fur coat.

If we are talking about dyed products, then in the winter of 2019-2020 a green fox fur coat will be very popular. This material has a rich dark color. A special natural color, after coloring it acquires unique tints from light to darker green tones.

A fox fur coat can be dyed black. This shade is so deep and strong that it looks very fashionable and allows you to create a variety of outfits. Girls love these models for their versatility. Fluffy black fur coats are a unique trend this winter.

White fur coats are an expensive item and not available to all fashionistas. If we are talking about a snow-white shade, then this is either an arctic fox or an arctic fox. A fur coat made of such material will cost from 100 to 300 thousand rubles, since the material is very rare and difficult to obtain.

How to choose a fox fur coat and care for it

Many women find it difficult to choose a fox fur coat. They are often stopped by the belief that such material does not last long and quickly begins to crumble. But, if you choose and care for your fur coat correctly, you can extend its service life a couple of years longer.

When choosing short fox fur coats, pay attention to the fact that the product must fully correspond to your lifestyle. If you drive a car, then this model will become an indispensable and faithful companion. If you spend more time outside in frosty weather, then it is better to give preference to midi or mid-ankle length.

Before buying a fur coat, ask the seller for quality certificates for review. Long pile should not pinch or come out in clumps - this is a sign that the model is not of high quality and it is better to leave it in the store. Sellers often deceive by selling sheared fox fur coats. It is under this guise that old models that are no longer wearable are sold. Run a damp hand over the pile; if hairs remain, this indicates that the product is made of low-quality fur.

If you choose a brightly colored dyed fur coat, then here you need to use a simple trick. Take a scarf with you. In the store, run a damp cloth over the pile. There should be no traces of paint left on it.

To make your favorite fur coat last much longer, you need to take proper care of it. First of all, you should never walk in the rain in such clothes. An expensive coat reacts very poorly to high humidity. Even in damp weather without wet precipitation, the skins become deformed and the seams begin to separate. Repairing holes in a fur coat is difficult even for an experienced fur repairman. If the product gets wet, it should not be worn until it is completely dry. Dry the fur coat at room temperature in a straightened state. The product can only be combed after it has completely dried.

Try to store your fur coat without a plastic cover. Cotton or synthetics with pores are suitable for these purposes. A fur coat should “breathe” in the summer. Some fashionistas store them without shelter. To prevent the pile from losing its beautiful appearance, it must be constantly combed with a special brush, the size of which depends on the length of the pile.

Manakas^

Despite the gentle climate typical of Greece, furs have also been loved and valued here from time immemorial.

Proof of this is the dizzying success of the Manakas brand, whose products quickly became popular throughout Europe.

In order to effectively manage its distribution network and production facilities, the company even had to move its office to Frankfurt, Germany. The price of the product in the company showroom is about 2000 euros.
