How to wear a fur vest and with what? Autumn and winter in Russia. Examples with Arctic fox and other fur

From time to time, fashion trendsetters make attempts to convince fashionistas and each other that the fur vest has come down from its pedestal. But to no avail: this wardrobe item returns to the catwalks and streets again and again - almost every autumn-winter season, and each time updated. A fashionable fur vest is the topic of today’s article; let’s find out how and what to wear it with to make the look as stylish as possible.

In the winter of 2019-2020, the vest is again at the peak of popularity. Moreover, probably never before has it been as multifaceted as it is now, when there are so many of the most daring design ideas around it. To wear or not to wear a fur vest this winter is not a question. A correctly selected model will become your pride, warm your soul, and inspire you to find your ideal self.

What material to choose for a fur vest

Faux fur or natural? Quality and design can be at their best in any design. Giorgio Armani, by refusing to use natural fur in new collections out of compassion for animals, has confused fur connoisseurs and, undoubtedly, inspired the “greens”.

From behind the scenes of the fashion industry, rumors began to leak that the era of natural fur in clothing was slowly but surely becoming a thing of history. The production of eco-fur has reached such a level that it is sometimes impossible to recognize synthetics visually (such material is, however, also not cheap).

This can be seen in the example of faux fur vests. Their choice is quite wide and quite justified when it comes to everyday clothes, youth models or trendy items that are relevant for no more than one season.

But for now, the humanist Armani is in a clear minority.

And fur products, in the understanding of most of us, continue to be associated, first of all, with luxury created by nature itself:

• silver fox;
• mink;
• fox;
• arctic fox;
• lama;
• sable;
• lynx;
• rabbit;
• raccoon;
• marten;
• lynx;
• chinchilla;
• astrakhan.

All these furs are embodied in vests this season. Moreover, one product can eccentrically or, on the contrary, very elegantly combine different colors and shades, fragments with different lengths of pile and fur processing options, as well as leather, fabric or knitted inserts.

The combination of leather and fur formed the basis of the idea of ​​modern and practical transformable vests, which are two things in one - just turn them inside out.

Another trend this season is a tanned vest. It looks like a sleeveless sheepskin coat with the fur inside, which is still very original. And finally, such an unusual option as weaving from thin strips of fur, which are simply threaded through the loops of a knitted base. Some designers claim that, if desired, such an example can be created independently at home on the basis of an ordinary knitted vest, using satin or twill for lining, and, if necessary, padding polyester as insulation, as in industrial production.

Fur vest + dress

Women wear dresses regardless of the weather season. As we have already said, every fashionista needs to have at least one, or even better, several fur vests in her wardrobe that can be worn with dresses. So, a sleeveless vest made of light pile will go well with a dress of dark, rich shades made of chiffon or silk of medium and maxi length. An excellent combination in addition to a dress with a sleeveless vest is over the knee boots and a business bag with short handles. It will suit both cocktail and evening wear.

Chiffon and satin, long straight-cut evening and cocktail dresses and gathered skirts, as in the photo, look incredibly beautiful.

Don't forget that the shorter your bottom is, the longer your top should be. Well, what can be said about shoes, only that for such an outfit heels must be present.

Fur vest + leggings/jeans

Skinny jeans and leggings are the optimal solution to wear with this furry beauty. This is the best option for walking, meeting friends and shopping. The colors of the outerwear should be in harmony with the cape and differ by a tone or half tone from the jeans. Sand colors, blue, dark blue and beige or gray are suitable. If you are going for a walk, meeting with friends or shopping, then a combination of a sleeveless vest and denim trousers or leggings is perfect.

Crew neck sweaters with rough boots or over the knee boots look very fashionable, this is especially true this year. This is especially suitable for those who do not like heels or for other reasons simply cannot wear them. An ensemble of a black sleeveless vest, black jeans and a hand-knitted sweater looks very stylish - the optimal outfit for early spring or late autumn.

Fur vest + skirt

In order to wear a stylish skirt, you need to choose the right model. If the skirt is narrow and of medium length, then a mid-thigh vest in combination with high boots with or without heels or heeled ankle boots will suit it.

For a shortened vest model, we recommend choosing a woolen flared skirt in a rich, noble color and high-top boots, with or without heels, it all depends on your preferences. This outfit will undoubtedly be accompanied by all kinds of metal accessories and leather gloves.

In a word, the conclusion is that this practical thing can be worn with almost any clothes that please your soul! As for the selection of accessories, in modern boutiques you can find absolutely everything for every taste and color. To complete your look you will need good taste, and a little imagination so as not to get lost in the crowd of gray mass.

Where to wear a fur vest?

Many women believe that a vest made of natural pile is a “going out” outfit, but this is an outdated opinion and these ladies need to change their stereotypes and we will help with this.

A casual look on cool autumn days can be jeans with a blazer, or a hand-knitted sweater and a sleeve over it.

Shoes without heels (sneakers, sneakers, pumps) are suitable for this look, but if you prefer a small heel, then the best option is ankle boots. In this outfit you can go shopping, take a walk in the park, and you will feel very comfortable behind the wheel of your car, which is quite important.

Colors and styles of beautiful fur vests

The palette on the fur market is the widest, and such a product will undoubtedly look impressive. However, vests in natural colors are a timeless classic that will be relevant for many years, not to mention practical.

The choice of style this season is determined primarily by length. With all the variety of stylish new products, the final word belongs to elongated models - from the middle of the thigh and below. A floor-length fur vest is the choice of those who intend to add a trendy item to their wardrobe in the near future.

Playing with color was to the taste of the creators of many winter collections: fancy coloring can be enough to create a truly stylish, unique item, even from inexpensive material.

Collars, edges, hoods, patch pockets - all these elements have the right to become part of the vest and make it even more original and functional at the same time. Such highlights look especially impressive on products with short pile - this, by the way, is a separate direction.

Fluffy, voluminous fur is undeniably luxurious. But it is the smooth fur that allows you to create unique items with exquisite cut lines. They emphasize the figure and do not create excess volume, which is important for ladies with curvy figures.

Faux or real fur? Choose

Just a few years ago, this question probably would not have occurred to anyone, because artificial compared to natural ones not only looked cheap, but also could hardly give you warmth and certainly would not protect you from the cold. but today the situation has changed, because technology is developing and today there is faux fur on the market, which is difficult to distinguish from natural fur. I would like to highlight three advantages of faux fur compared to natural fur:

• no animals are harmed during its production;
• such fur warms perfectly;
• it is much cheaper than natural.

How to Wear a Fur Vest

A fur vest of any style will look best when paired with tight-fitting items - sheath dresses, straight or mini skirts, skinny trousers and jeans, especially if we are talking about material with long pile.

Smooth fur can be combined with looser items. It is not customary to wear short-sleeved clothes under a vest - either long sleeves or none at all.

A few more basic rules:

• the shorter the vest, the longer the skirt and vice versa.
• the more luxurious the fur, the wider the belt or belt and the larger the jewelry.
• the shorter the sleeve (nobody canceled the vest with sleeves), the longer the glove.
• The curvier the lady, the shorter the fur.

However, with all the variety of styles and colors of fur vests, it is impossible to prescribe strict rules for wearing them. You will have to be guided, rather, by your own taste and intuition. After all, each vest is a separate story of its relationship with its owner.

A stylish headdress, an original bag, scarves, scarves, gloves and jewelry will emphasize the uniqueness of you and him. Hats, bags and other fur accessories will definitely be superfluous in this ensemble.

Complementing the image

It’s not as important what to wear a fur vest with as what to decorate the look with. This season, wardrobe items such as hats have become very popular. With their help, you can instantly transform into a mysterious stranger.

Also, try not to wear fur vests with anything that “cuts” them in half. For example, clutches or bags with a long strap. It is better to give preference to models with short straps or without them at all, which, for example, were presented in the new collection of Victoria Beckham.

Please note that combinations of natural vests and wide belts with powerful plaques look very cheap. Also, there is no need to burden yourself with obviously fake details, say, Burberry scarves bought on the market for 300 rubles or Yves Saint Laurent earrings for 40.

But the combination of fur hats and vests looks very stylish. This is a classic combination that has been at the top of the fashion charts for many seasons now. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that the fur on the headdress matches the material of the outerwear.

A vest is one way to buy an inexpensive, worthy alternative to a fur coat. It is very convenient that almost any mass market brand will offer you to buy a fur vest for a child or a man.

How to Wear a Short Fur Vest

We are talking about a waist-length product. Perhaps only leggings are incompatible with it. The rest is free for imagination. Short models are slightly hooligan, mostly youthful, and will look great in hippie, country, boho style sets - with jeans, sleeveless dresses, miniskirts, especially when complemented with appropriate accessories (scarves, bracelets).

A small vest made of valuable fur can effectively complement a long evening dress, if the style of these things is in harmony with each other. The sleeves of the dress should be tight-fitting or completely absent.

How to choose

First of all, you need to give preference to trusted stores that sell certified items from reliable manufacturers.

A few secrets that help determine the quality of a product:

1. Pinch the fur. A universal way to check the quality of the material. The most capricious in this regard is only the arctic fox, from which a little fluff can creep out, but if it is not an arctic fox vest that is being tested or the fluff is very loose, you need to look for another thing.
2. Place your finger on the fur. If an imprint remains and the material does not take its original shape, it is better to pass by.
3. Smell the fur. The natural material has a slight specific odor, but if it is pronounced or unpleasant, experts recommend refusing to purchase.

How to Wear an Oversized Fur Vest

Volume is now in trend and a fur vest is no exception: many stylists advise purchasing a fluffy item (silver fox, arctic fox, fox, sable) one or two sizes larger at once. This will emphasize the slimness of the figure and give more room for imagination on the topic of accessories.

The main thing to remember is that bulky items should not be combined with wide trousers and voluminous skirts.

For girls of small stature, especially those with curvy figures, it is better to refuse such a thing and consider the option with short fur.

Types of models

Every year, fashion designers offer updated designs and cut shapes for fur vests, so girls can easily choose the right model for their clothing style, figure and lifestyle. When purchasing, you should first decide on the style.

Varieties:

• direct option;
• A-shaped;
• flared;
• shortened model;
• silhouette style.

For production, the furs of small animals are selected: squirrels, foxes, arctic foxes, silver foxes, chinchillas, minks, sables. This ensures the incredible lightness of the products: the smaller the game animal, the lower the weight of its skin. Most often, the vest is made of one material. Real fur is a great option. The length of the pile and the volume of the undercoat provide visual volume.

When choosing, it is very important to pay attention to the appearance of the finished product. In no case can high-quality fur crumble, wrinkle or lie unevenly; all accessories must be well secured.

The size of the fabrics from which the vest is assembled is of great importance. If these are small fragments, then the product takes on a textured appearance. If for sewing long backs are taken and laid out vertically, then the vest takes on an elegant flowing contour. Some models are made in a combined version: leather inserts are sewn into the side parts of the product, making the silhouette more elegant.

How to Wear a Silver Fox Fur Vest

A vest made entirely of silver fox fur is a rare occurrence. Much more often, this fur is combined with leather inserts on the sides or on the back, which looks expensive and impressive and gives grace to the figure. The length can vary from short to very long - the beauty and chic of such models are simply mesmerizing.

Silver fox fur can be combined with items of almost any color scheme.

The best combinations with such a vest are skinny or classic trousers or jeans, a pencil skirt, classic plain, possibly bright, shirts and sweaters. A silver vest, especially a long one, over an evening dress will make the look respectable and simply stunning.

Organizing your wardrobe by color

Nowadays the following colors of sleeveless vests are very fashionable: black, gray (this is especially stylish if the vest is made of arctic fox), gradient (vests made of silver fox or fox) and snow-white. What can you wear with a white vest, say, made of rabbit? There are several ways to dilute this total white look:

• play in contrast, respectively, wear black and white, this, by the way, is another trend of the season;
• create an original combination of “blood and milk” and try on a coral-colored blouse with a sleeveless vest;
• We highly recommend trying to combine this set: a deep green knitted sweater, blue jeans and a long white vest.

A black vest made of mink and arctic fox is recommended to be worn with the following things:

• again, a white jacket or blouse;
• bright blue sweater and black dress pants;
• a bright light green (but not acidic) sweater and dark-colored pants.

A red vest is simply a win-win option. The fact is that the natural color of fox clothing is literally combined with all other shades of the palette, especially if it is shaded with correctly selected accessories.

How to Wear a Fox Fur Vest

Another option for voluminous fur, with which those who cannot boast of being slim and tall should be careful. But those who can afford this fiery luxury will definitely not go unnoticed.

A red fox vest is especially cozy, warming not only with its fur, but also with its color. It is not for nothing that the yellow-orange color scheme, according to psychologists, creates a cheerful mood and successfully fights stress.

Country style is especially relevant here. Jeans, leggings, leggings, chunky sweaters and plain shirts are the best company for this item. You will need appropriate footwear - boots and boots with flat soles.

How to Wear a Mink Fur Vest

Mink suits absolutely everyone, regardless of build and attitude. This embodiment of nobility and grace in a variety of styles fascinates and inspires.

The optimal combination of such a vest with a laconic dress and elegant shoes.

There are so many looks that have been created based on a mink sleeveless vest. With this fur you can experiment with the cut as you like - everything will look incomparable. Loose and fitted, long and short models are easily complemented by a variety of decorative elements.

How to wear a fur vest in winter

In winter, a fur vest begins a new life if it is a voluminous, loose item. You can wear your favorite vest over a coat or jacket. This is additional insulation and an opportunity to diversify your wardrobe. In this way, an unremarkable coat is transformed into a piece worthy of the podium. And if it is, for example, a long white vest, you can create a sensation.

On cold winter days, your vest, like a universal soldier, will protect you from frost and wind outside, and will not let you get cold in the office or at a party. It will simply always be with you - fashionable, warm, for all occasions.

Tips for use

Before figuring out how and what to wear a women’s fur vest, you need to decide on its intended purpose. Contrary to differing opinions, this outfit is only suitable in a warm and snowy winter or late, dry autumn.

This is explained by a fashionable axiom called “dry fur.” According to leading stylists, a woman should have several types of outerwear in her closet:

• coat - for cold windy weather;
• trench coat - during rainy autumn weather;
• fur coat - for a cold but dry winter;
• down jacket - for wet winters, with wet snow and blizzards;
• leather jacket - worn mainly in spring and autumn, although it is not uncommon for a leather jacket to be worn in the evening in summer;
• sleeveless vest (vest) – for use during warm winters;
• knitted cardigan - for warm autumn weather.

At first glance, it may seem that this list was compiled for fairly wealthy ladies, but think for yourself, what will happen to one vest made of natural fur if it gets caught in a heavy autumn rain?

How to wear a fur vest in autumn and spring

The vast majority of vests go well with fabrics of different textures. Therefore, a shaggy sleeveless vest will be appropriate throughout both autumn and spring. When it’s slightly cool, it can be thrown over a shirt or dress, and as the air temperature drops, it can be combined no less colorfully with knitted sweaters, leather jackets and jackets made of various materials.

Multi-layer sets always look advantageous and no matter how a fur vest will make multi-layering truly stylish, effective, and modern.

This is a self-sufficient thing that does not need accents - it only needs a decent frame and correspondence to the individual style of its owner.

Features and benefits of the vest

One should hardly be surprised by the increased popularity of fur vests because, taking a closer look at this wardrobe detail, every woman will certainly find some advantage for herself:

• Warm. You can hardly argue with this statement, because natural fur provides great warmth in cold weather. Our ancestors were well aware of this, fleeing from severe frosts in clothes made from animal skins.
• Comfortable. Unlike fur coats, jackets and many other types of outerwear, a vest leaves your arms open and does not restrict movement. This feature allows a woman to always remain mobile and feel comfortable.
• Versatile. If you think that fur is only suitable for winter, then you are mistaken - in the fall such a thing will be no less useful.
• Stylish. The vest itself, made of natural fur, is a luxurious item that will help create an elegant look, similar to those that often appear in glossy magazines.
• Available. Whatever they say, a natural fur coat requires considerable financial investment. In this regard, the vest will be more democratic, but no less luxurious.
