The desire to meet the cold season in warmth and comfort increases the demand for warm clothes. True fashionistas and connoisseurs of exquisite things prefer fur products, and, of course, the undisputed winner in the huge variety of furs on offer are mink products. Today's fashion offers many different models and styles of nokri products.
Choosing a beautiful fur coat
Let's figure it out
The stores have a large selection of models of various colors and shades, trimmed with other types of fur: sable, lynx, raccoon, with different types of collars, with and without a hood, flared and fitted, with a belt, straight sleeves, with cuffs or shortened, fur coats are also presented different lengths - short coats 80-90 cm long, short coats 100-110 cm or floor-length coats. Of course, it’s easy to get lost in this diversity. Let's figure out what length models are the most popular today and whether they will suit you.
There are many factors that influence the decision on the length of your fur coat, but the determining ones are your body type and height, as well as for what purpose you are purchasing mink clothing. It is also important whether it is the only one in your wardrobe or not.
What to wear with a long mink coat?
A long piece of fur will always be the main detail in the look. If you are wondering what to wear with a long mink coat, remember that this clothing belongs to the classic trend in women's fashion. Therefore, the most win-win solution would be a strict, laconic bow. Recently, classics have successfully fit into mix images with casual style. The straight-cut, cross-cut, vest styles are perfect for an extraordinary combination with wide jeans and sports shoes. The fit and flare design will always make your look romantic.
Bag for a long mink coat
In an image with an elongated style, an important element is the bag. This detail can become a stylish accent or a neat addition. If the length of a mink coat covers your legs completely, then the accessory should not be bulky. For models up to mid-calf, roomy hand bags are the current choice. A win-win solution would be an accessory in the same color as your outerwear. If the fur coat is trimmed with other fur, especially fluffy, then you can choose a fur handbag with an identical design and decor. When choosing bright accessories, you should not experiment with the number of shades.
Headdress for a long mink coat
When choosing a hat, it is very important to pay attention to the presence of a hood in the design of outerwear. If such a detail is available, then the headdress should be laconic. In this case, a knitted beanie, beret or knitted accessory with a small pompom is perfect. A hat under a long mink coat without a hood can be more voluminous. A classic solution is a fur accessory. This option is especially suitable for products with a voluminous collar. The color of the hat does not have to match the design of the fur coat. But an identical shade will help emphasize the elegance in the image.
Shoes to match a long mink coat
An important decision in an image with an elongated fur product is the completion. After all, it is the shoes that set the main style of the bow. The most successful combination is considered to be classic boots with a long mink coat. In this case, the current styles will be over the knee boots, neat ankle boots, and stockings with heels or wedges. Uggs have become a stylish choice for everyday active wear. These comfortable shoes will provide all-day comfort and highlight your sense of style. If you are adding a fur coat to an evening outfit, then closed formal shoes with heels are suitable for a stylish finish.
Shortened
Short mink coats 80 or 90 cm long are suitable for slender, tall girls with broad shoulders, small breasts, slender legs and athletic hips (an inverted triangle figure). For women with this silhouette, we can recommend models with raglan sleeves, a small stylish hood or v-neck, fitted or with a belt, with pockets or decoration at the bottom.
Flared, flying models such as ponchos will also look elegant. The length of 80 cm is also suitable for women with an hourglass figure, with a thin waist, high breasts, and curvy, pronounced hips. Mink coat styles a la “bat” or slightly flared models will look especially impressive on them.
We should not forget about fitted silhouettes that have a belt that favorably emphasizes the waist, a turn-down graphic or a rounded collar. Models of mink coats 90 cm long can be complemented with a scarf, an elegant scarf or stole, matched to the coat and visually concealing excess breast volume.
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.
More authentic models
Women with an hourglass figure may also prefer longer models, for example 100-110 cm. Mink coats longer than 100 cm often have a strict and elegant classic silhouette with clear lines. They are perfect for ladies of any age, since the styles of mink coats over 110 cm, most often, do not have fashionable excesses and decorative elements, and perfectly hide figure flaws.
Elongated models retain heat better, so they are suitable for lovers of fresh frosty air and older ladies who care about their health.
But let's not forget about the figure. Mink coats 100 or 110 cm long can be recommended to owners of the most feminine “triangle” silhouette with narrow, sloping shoulders, a thinly defined waist and wide hips.
If you are bored with strict classics, you can dilute it with voluminous sleeves and a wide collar, high waist, straight or flared silhouette. For rectangle-type figures, which do not have distinct outlines, but, as a rule, have chic long legs, elongated versions of fur coats are also ideal, which will perfectly hide the features of the figure and will play with the imagination of men, revealing the secret of the slenderness of your legs.
Quality of fur and dressing
If you want to choose a high-quality fur coat, then pay attention to the underfur, fur and other details.
If the mink's fur is dull, it means the clothing has been stored in poor conditions or not handled properly. In a natural mink coat, the fibers are elastic and elastic. Run your hand against the fur, the fur should immediately return to its original position. If it puffs up and becomes creased, then this is a fake. By the density of the underfur, you can determine how well a fur coat will retain heat: the thicker the underfur, the warmer the clothing.
Carefully examine the back side of the skin (the inner side). There should be no cracks or squeaks when squeezed. In branded fur coats, the lining is not used at all, or the manufacturers leave an open space through which the inside can be felt. It needs to be soft and elastic.
- Methods of decorative processing of mink fur:
- A haircut. If this method is combined with pinching, the cover will resemble velvet. Using a multi-level haircut, you can achieve a “corduroy” texture. Using laser cutting, three-dimensional patterns are created.
- Pinch. The guard hair is removed with special forceps, leaving behind a velvety underfur. This method is expensive and labor-intensive, since pinching is done by hand.
- Coloring. Using modern technologies, you can achieve any color, shade, pattern. Unscrupulous manufacturers dye fur in more sophisticated colors and pass them off as natural. When screen dyeing, the fur is painted to look like a leopard or tiger. Computer methods allow you to apply any pattern. Keep in mind that paint reduces the wear resistance of fur.
Thanks to decorative processing, the market offers a wide range of fur coats to suit every taste.
What to choose?
The length of the fur coat will also be determined by the lifestyle: lovers of driving often prefer shortened models of 80-90 cm, which do not restrict movement and do not interfere with free driving; also shorter models are preferred by girls who are accustomed to attention and emphasize their beauty. Older ladies who lead a measured lifestyle prefer products with a length of more than 110 cm; such fur coats emphasize the respectability and status of its owner.
Fur manufacturers always carefully prepare for the new season, so the variety of styles and models of mink coats can confuse even the most avid fur fans. We must not forget that a mink coat is bought for more than one season and the determining factor, after all, is the quality. Therefore, feel free to try on at least all the models in the salon until you find your ideal model!
