What to wear with a fur vest? This type of clothing is suitable for girls leading an active lifestyle, allows them to move easily and saves them from the cold. But, perhaps, its main purpose is to complement the outfit with the beauty of fur.
A straight vest made of skin was apparently worn by cavemen. The fur dushegreya has long been known in Russian costume - a short vest, often trimmed at the edges with more expensive fur. Similar fur clothing is present in the national costumes of many nations. Fashion designers, inspired by hoary antiquity, allowed the modern fashionista to feel like Diana the Hunter, draping her trophy over her shoulders.
Today, fur vests are made from expensive furs with long pile (silver fox, arctic fox, etc.), often the back is made of leather or leather inserts are sewn into the sides (such models are slimming). Models made of short-pile fur (sheepskin, astrakhan fur) are also relevant, but they should not look rough. In fashionable furs, artificial material is increasingly being used; it is only slightly inferior to natural material, but is lighter and more environmentally friendly.

Products made from natural materials require careful care. After using a fur vest, it is advisable to comb the pile to remove dust and moisture. If the product is exposed to snow or rain, it must be thoroughly dried by hanging it in a ventilated space, and then brushed with a wide-toothed brush to make it smooth and shiny.

Mink fur vest
The Russian mink has long fur and a thick undercoat and is not afraid of moisture, which can be called an advantage for our climate. North American mink also has a dense undercoat, and a distinctive feature of this fur is its light and soft undercoat. Finnish mink has denser and tougher fur, but Danish mink, on the contrary, has softer and sparse fur.
The natural shades of mink are distinguished by a rich palette. You can find all the shades of brown, blue, beige, gray and white.
The mink vest is wear-resistant and will last for several seasons.
Who would suit a fur vest?
Long, fluffy models are suitable for slender, tall girls. For those who are short, it is better to choose shorter models, up to the waist or up to the hips; blouson-cut vests, fitted ones or models with a belt are suitable for them. Vests made entirely of long fur are not suitable for overweight girls and women; they are too bulky. Such girls will be more suited to models with short pile or leather inserts.
Fur vest in winter

Faux and natural furs retain heat and protect from cold. In winter, wear a thick knitted sweater under your vest. If you are really afraid of freezing, then choose products made from natural wool. If a fur vest has a hood, this is a significant plus in case of frost. And it is important to remember that fur items are always warmer than jackets. And if you wear such a vest over a down jacket, then you won’t be afraid of any frost. The main rule is that the length of the vest and jacket must match.
