Fashionable fur vests, which have been popular with many girls and reputable designers for many years, will help you look attractive at any time of the year. Let's look at how to wear a fur vest correctly using a photo as an example.
Every girl strives to look beautiful at any time of the year, so she strives to buy only the best and stylish clothes. In summer it is easiest to look attractive, as you can try on light outfits and not hide your slender body.
But in cold weather, when you have to wear a lot of warm clothes, it becomes not so easy to emphasize the advantages of your figure.
Peculiarities
The fur vest became popular several years ago. In the 90s, no one could afford such luxury, but 10-15 years later, designers began to experiment and create incredible models of sleeveless vests made of natural fur, which amazed fashionistas with their luxury. Later, lightweight faux fur vests appeared, which cannot be seen outerwear, but perfectly protect against the cold in winter, for example, in the theater or at work.
As for true fur vests, they have the following features:
- They keep you warm in cold weather no worse than fur coats, down jackets, and sheepskin coats.
- They do not restrict movement as much as long-sleeved outerwear, so they provide comfort and convenience.
- Can be worn in winter and in cool weather in autumn and spring.
- Can be combined with any outfit: jeans, leggings, trousers, dresses, skirts.
- They are much cheaper than fur coats.
- They look luxurious and elegant, suitable for girls of any age.
Faux fur vests have gained particular popularity among very young fashionistas. Their cost does not exceed the price of a high-quality jacket or windbreaker, so if damaged, you won’t mind parting with it.
Young girls prefer arctic fox vests. They belong to the middle price segment, but will serve faithfully for more than one season. In addition, Arctic fox vests are distinguished by a huge number of interesting designs and colors.
IMPORTANT! Vests made from natural fur are quite difficult to care for. They cannot be washed by hand or machine. The safest, highest quality and most effective way of cleaning is to contact a special service, or dry cleaning.
Older women can choose premium fur vests, which are downright expensive: mink, rabbit, muskrat, marten, fox, silver fox, chinchilla. When worn carefully, this item may not change its appearance for several decades, remaining warm, comfortable and beautiful.
Fox fur vest
This is another mega-popular type of fur, which has found its application in the production of fur coats and fur vests. The fox's hair is also quite long, but not as voluminous as that of the arctic fox. Despite this, products made from it are in no way inferior in luxury to arctic fox outfits; on the contrary, the red tint gives the finished items a slight extravagance and emphasizes the delicate taste of their owner.
At the same time, it is the difficulty of choosing clothes that makes many women refuse such a purchase. Really, what can you wear with a fox fur vest? In reality, everything turns out to be quite simple. Since the pile here is also long, when choosing, you can be guided by the basic rules. A harmonious combination will be provided by skinny jeans or trousers, sheath dresses, and straight-cut skirts. To avoid mixing colors, it is better to wear black, white or other neutral colors with a fox. In this case, the main emphasis will be placed on the vest.
Who can wear it?
Fur vests can be worn by all girls, but you need to remember some of the features of this item of clothing.
Firstly, the pile of all fur products, regardless of the naturalness of the material, gives additional volume to the figure. Fur will visually enlarge a girl, so ladies with curvy figures should avoid this item of clothing.
Secondly, too young girls and teenage girls should not buy products made from natural fur. Due to age and active activity, they can easily damage a vest, which costs a lot of money, so it is better to start with inexpensive options made of faux fur, and at a more conscious age switch to mink or arctic fox.
The fur vest has no age restrictions. It suits girls of any age, making them graceful, feminine, and elegant. This is one of the most luxurious and stylish things that emphasizes the taste and sophistication of every young lady. In such a product, you won’t want to wear sneakers, sweatpants and tie your hair in a bun: you will only want to wear the most modern and beautiful items of clothing, high-heeled shoes and luxurious jewelry.
Mink vest
Mink clothing is an expensive, respectable-looking product. It’s easy to recognize them from dozens of other things. What gives them away is mainly the pile, which is short and shiny. A mink vest can be made in different variations: long and short, straight and fitted, classic or with additional details.
The short pile has influenced the way this type of fur vest is worn. If arctic fox and fox fur require tight-fitting trousers and dresses, then mink gives complete freedom of imagination. Jeans, classic trousers, dresses of any cut and material will be appropriate with it. In this case, special attention should be paid to the choice of shoes for such a vest. It will be boots, ankle boots or even shoes (if the occasion allows), but certainly elegant and sophisticated.
Models of women's fur vests
Women's fur vests, as it might seem at first glance, are found in only a few options. In fact, there are many models of this item of clothing. They may differ in length, color, density and length of pile, fastener, presence of finishing, and decorative elements.
There are vests with and without fasteners. The first ones, naturally, are designed for very cold winters: usually special hooks or buttons are used as fasteners, and under a row of hooks there is a strip of fabric that protects from the wind. The hooks are not noticeable when worn and fasten very firmly, so they provide good heat-protective properties.
The most comfortable and convenient girls call a zipper fastener, but such models are less common than others. It is believed that lightning can easily damage a fur product.
Vests without fasteners can hardly be called a good winter option. They are suitable for autoladies when going out in cool weather, but will not be suitable for severe Siberian frosts.
Vests without fasteners perform a decorative function. They can be worn over a dress to an evening event or to the office if there is no strict dress code. Many girls choose a short vest made of faux fur for romantic dates in the fall and spring, and less often in the cool summer.
Vest models differ in their texture. There are uniform vests, all the fibers of which “look” in the same direction. There are more interesting models, sewn using patchwork techniques, quilted, with various shaped elements. When choosing a texture, you should rely only on personal preferences, not forgetting about the property of a vest to increase the volume of the body.
As mentioned earlier, vests can be made of natural or faux fur. With the latter, everything is clear: this is a budget option that is easy to care for and you won’t mind if something happens to it. In addition, designers make incredible models of vests from faux fur that are difficult to distinguish from natural ones.
They are practical, available in a wide range of colors and textures, will always be in fashion and, as practice shows, are more durable. It is artificial vests that are often decorated with stones, belts, leather inserts, hoods, patch pockets and other decorative elements.
As for vests made of natural fur, fashion designers have no restrictions, but you can distinguish several categories of fur for yourself:
- elite (mink, sable);
- middle class (chinchilla, fox, astrakhan fur, rabbit, raccoon, llama, beaver, arctic fox);
- budget (Arctic fox, Fox, beaver).
The fur of arctic fox, fox and beaver falls into two categories at once, because although it has affordable prices, it looks chic and is better suited for daily wear than other furs.
Fur vests differ in cut. There are straight, fitted and trapezoidal models.
Fitted vests can only be chosen by girls with good parameters. If there are a couple of extra centimeters at the waist, the vest will not fit your figure and will “ride” when walking.
Trapezoidal models are suitable for ladies with an inverted triangle figure, as well as very thin girls. Such vests widen at the bottom, giving additional volume to the hips and femininity to the figure.
Straight vests are the most versatile option. They can hide problem areas in the waist and hips, are comfortable to wear, do not hinder movement and can be easily combined with other wardrobe items.
The vests also differ in finishing. Of course, most young ladies prefer the most laconic models without any decorations or additions, realizing that fur is beautiful in itself. More daring and modern girls who like to stand out from the crowd choose models with hoods, belts, brooches, contrasting pockets and decorative elements, combined color schemes.
Styles and models
A mink vest is suitable for women of any age and any figure. The main thing is to choose the right style and length of the product.
Direct
Straight-cut fur vests occupy a leading position. Such products can have a length: to the waist, along the hips or to the knees. This versatile outfit can be combined with any style of clothing.
Fitted
Mink fitted sleeveless vests are hip-length. The products are made from soft skins and short-cropped fur. A fitted vest is worn with fitted trousers or a knitted dress.
Available
Wide and loose fur vests are suitable for women with a full figure. Typically the length of such products is knee-length. You can wear oversized clothes under a loose-fitting vest.
Balloon
Soft mink fur allows you to sew products that are pulled up at the bottom and resemble a balloon. A vest of this style is usually knee-length. This item is suitable for those with curvy figures.
Long
Long mink sleeveless vests look extravagant. A vest just below the knees or to the floor is combined with tight pants or long dresses.
Dimensions
Fur vests can be very short, medium or long.
The first ones usually cover the chest and reach the middle of the waist. They are not intended for “walking”: they are worn in warm rooms, for example, at weddings, corporate events or at work, if the room is cool and you have to spend several hours. These are the simplest and smallest models that are suitable for short girls, there are no strict style requirements for them, and they can become part of an everyday look.
ATTENTION! Short fur vests are often made from artificial material.
Vests of medium (classic) length reach the hip line (waist). This is a universal length that is not capable of spoiling the figure and worsening the impression of the image. A girl of any height can afford such a vest; they look equally good with jeans and dresses and highlight the features of a woman’s appearance.
Only tall girls can afford elongated and long vest models. The length can be just below the buttocks, to the middle of the thigh or to the knee. Perhaps there are also ultra-long vests that reach the ankle, but in everyday life you won’t see them on girls: they will interfere with walking.
Long vests that cover the buttocks are the most common. They ideally protect from cold and wind, are indispensable in winter and look the most feminine. They can be worn with any item of clothing.
How to choose
When choosing fur vests, you need to pay attention to several characteristics of the model in order to buy the thing you really need. First of all, you need to decide what kind of fur the vest should be made of: natural or artificial?
Not only the thermal insulation properties of the product, but also its practicality depend on the material. Natural fur is more demanding to care for and requires certain storage conditions. But, at the same time, natural furs are much warmer than artificial ones. When choosing a vest as outerwear, you should give preference to natural materials.
The style of the product plays an important role. Vests can be fitted or loose-fitting, shortened or long enough, with or without a hood.
The versatility of this wardrobe item depends on the style. For example, models with a hood are more suitable for city walks and sporting events, but are unlikely to be approved in the office dress code.
Those with slender figures can afford to wear a fur vest of any style. Short and fitted models will only emphasize the ideal shape. Loose-fitting vests will help hide certain problem areas of the figure.
If you have wide hips, it is better to give preference to a mid-thigh length vest. Disproportionally narrow hips will be smoothed out by a vest that completely covers this part of the body.
If you have narrow shoulders, it is better to choose a shortened model with long pile. It will visually straighten the silhouette.
A well-chosen model of a fur vest will visually hide many figure flaws. Products with removable decorative elements (hood, belt) are more versatile. They can simultaneously serve as a basic wardrobe element for different looks and styles.
You need to choose a fur vest taking into account your body shape and wearing conditions.
Relevance
Designers are confident that a women’s fur vest cannot spoil any look, because the variety of models allows you to choose the most suitable option for your own clothing style, be it casual, glamorous or business look. The situation is more complicated for lovers of sporty chic, biker and street styles, but there is also an excellent option for such specific fashionistas.
Current models of fur vests with leather inserts: belt, pockets, collar or lower part. Leather and fur look harmonious, although at first glance it seems that daring leather and soft fur do not go together at all. This combination is very bold, comfortable and is perfect for girls who prefer street and semi-sports styles. Fashion designers call these models the most trendy, and so far the leather and fur ensemble is not going to lose ground.
Fur vests with leather inserts protect well from wind and cold air, can highlight the graceful lines of the female body and have a noble appearance.
Laconic models without unnecessary trim and decor are in fashion. Fur is luxurious and self-sufficient, so even shiny buttons or pockets can cheapen it and make the look simple and somewhat vulgar. However, additions such as a hood or a contrasting collar have their place.
When choosing between faux and natural vests, it is better to choose natural fur, if possible. Designers advocate naturalness and naturalness, so a model made of natural fur in classic shades will look most advantageous. White, black, gray, brown, and red vests look very elegant and beautiful.
If you want to stand out from the crowd and be different from everyone else, the best solution would be a bright vest - red, pink, blue, green or yellow. With bright models, you need to create images very carefully, avoiding complex geometry, patterns, prints, patterns and saturated colors, otherwise you will end up with an excess of color.
When choosing a length, you need to rely only on your reflection in the mirror, because short, long, and medium-length vests are in fashion.
However, designers highlight the TOP most current models:
- long straight or flared vests of a laconic design;
- models in the boho style with a casual cut and unusual finishing elements: bright buttons, complex sewing techniques;
- long vest-dress;
- vest-jacket is a leader among the most fashionable models of fur products;
- shortened models resembling a bolero.
As for the vest-jacket, this is the most favorite model of all fashionistas, which is not at all surprising. A transformable vest is a thing that turns into 2, 3 or even 4 different wardrobe items: a short or long vest, a short or long fur coat. This effect can be achieved by unfastening the sleeves or the lower part of the product.
Fur + leather
The combination of fur and leather in the image is one of the most noble. A woman in such an outfit will definitely not go unnoticed. To achieve the desired effect, you can give preference to leather trousers, a bag, boots, long gloves and a wide belt that will intercept the fluffy vest and emphasize the slimness of the waist. However, in this case, one should not forget one small feature: if 1-2 leather details of the outfit emphasize the elegant chic of its owner, then their abundance may well make the look provocative and cheap in appearance. For this reason, you need to select leather items and accessories very carefully.
What to combine with and how?
A fur vest, unlike a down jacket or fur coat, leaves many parts of the body exposed. That is why the image must be thought out to the smallest detail so that the girl makes a splash at any event.
Cloth
A fur vest provides additional volume and visually enlarges the silhouette, so it is best paired with tight-fitting items: skinny jeans, leggings, trousers, noodle dresses and sheath skirts. They help make the image more harmonious, emphasize the features of the figure that the fur product strives to hide, and make the girl sophisticated and elegant.
Arctic fox and fox vests, which are considered long-haired, significantly enhance the figure, so they are best worn with skinny trousers or leggings. For a discreet look, you can choose matte (knitted) leggings, and glossy (leather) leggings are also suitable for an evening look. The latter will go well with a vest with leather inserts.
For an everyday casual look, regular jeans of your favorite model are suitable. They can be of any shade and cut, and it is better to choose a simple and laconic top, for example, a basic turtleneck. It’s good if the shoes and bag match the color of the turtleneck or jumper.
To create a feminine look, both casual and romantic, you can choose dresses and skirts. Outfits made of thick suiting fabric, knitwear, knitted dresses and skirts are best combined with fur products. Leather mini-dresses, velvet or velor models look great.
The most suitable styles are a-silhouette, straight, tight-fitting dress.
Shoes
Fur vests will be combined with any shoes, except for openly sporty sneakers and sneakers. Also, you should not even wear a product made of artificial material with too open shoes: sandals or sandals.
If the vest is worn in the summer, you can pair it with closed pumps or summer ankle boots. A fur vest with closed wedge shoes will look very nice.
In the cooler months, a fur vest can be worn with boots, ankle boots, high boots or over the knee boots. This piece of clothing goes equally well with both flat-soled shoes and a beautiful heel, which will help visually lengthen your legs and elongate your silhouette.
in autumn
Silver fox is also suitable for the off-season - early spring and mid-autumn are a great time to wear this item. It’s not yet chilly in a sleeveless fur coat, but the fur no longer looks out of place. In addition, the silver fox tolerates wet, damp weather well, unlike other furs, such as fox or mink. At this time of year, the vest can be worn with sweaters, turtlenecks and sweatshirts. And if your fur is not too long and voluminous, then go with blouses and dresses.
Also for cool weather, a great option is a silver fox vest with a hood. Such a thing is self-sufficient and does not require a headdress, but it should become part of a well-thought-out image.
Makeup
But makeup can become bright even in an everyday look, so that others pay attention not only to the chic outfit, but also to the beautiful features of the girl’s face.
IMPORTANT! When choosing makeup, you need to take into account not only fashion trends, but also the color type of appearance.
The current trend is “smoky eye” makeup, which is beautiful in both classic black and colored versions. At the same time, you should avoid shadows with glitter, otherwise the makeup will not look so elegant and impressive.
You can move the bright accent from the eyes to the lips, but glitter and various shines should also be avoided. It is better to choose a matte lipstick in a rich shade (scarlet, wine, brown).
Spectacular looks with a women's fur vest
Fur vests help a girl remain stylish and attractive even in the winter cold, when others hide the beautiful curves of their figure under several layers of clothing. This is a practical thing that will serve faithfully for a single year, and will help you transform into a feminine lady even while wearing ordinary jeans.
in winter
An elongated silver fox vest is perfect for a warm winter, especially if you travel by private car. In this case, a fur coat may not be very comfortable, but a vest, worn over a thick sweater, will warm you up and help create a beautiful look with a fur item.
For warmth, you can wear a leather jacket or even a coat under a vest. But when choosing items to complete, remember that the silver fox has quite textured fur, so additional layers can add extra volume to the figure.
