Such outerwear as a woman’s coat was invented many years ago, and not a single jacket or down jacket can be compared to him in beauty, especially if his collar is decorated with fur. A diverse color palette of products and a huge selection of models make these clothes attractive to women of all ages. A coat with a fur collar has a significant advantage, namely versatility. It can be worn for work and school, for romantic walks or evening events, in all these cases a woman will look stylish and elegant.
Winter coat option
A winter coat with a fur collar is already a classic, it goes well with a business and romantic style, and also suits sophisticated and elegant young ladies. Not every woman can afford a coat made of natural materials, decorated with fur, so it is considered a sign of not only good taste, but also affluence. But in modern fashion there are more affordable models made from mixed fabrics with faux fur.
We will analyze what a winter coat with a fur collar is (photos can be seen in the text). For most people, this phrase is associated with insulated woolen, draped and other clothes made of dense materials, decorated with fur.
In fact, a fur coat is a fur coat, it’s just that the last name appeared much later, but was firmly entrenched in everyday life and continues to be used everywhere. The first name is also sometimes used, but mainly by manufacturers to designate their own fur products.
Coat features
Despite the foregoing, a coat with a fur collar has some differences, or rather, it includes a narrower model range. For example, a coat is an elongated outerwear, and a fur coat can have any length - from very short (waist-deep) to maximum (to the floor). Such models are also sewn from fur, but it is wrong to call them “coats”.
Fur coats for the cold season since its inception were made mainly from natural materials, the use of faux fur over the years has testified to the poor quality of the product. Today, of course, much has changed, a turning point has come when many began to think about the environment and began to treat animals, plants and nature in general more carefully. As a result, designers began to use faux fur in their collections, and many were surprised to find that it looks no less stylish than natural, and the cost is much lower.
The lineup
Coats with a fur collar, as a rule, have an average length, but vary in the shape of the cut. The range of these products is quite wide, so every woman will find something that matches the taste and type of figure. It is worth noting that for the most part, a fur coat is a stylish and sophisticated wardrobe item that, no doubt, will adorn and transform its owner.
Straight cut
The classic variation of the coat for the cold season is a straight-cut product, either slightly fitted with a stand-up collar or in the English manner, most often complete with a belt. Such a model is a win-win option, it fits almost any age and figure, but it is best to sit on girls with a thin waist, which in this case will be favorably emphasized.
Trapezoid
For women who can not boast of ideal parameters, there is also an excellent style - a female coat with a fur collar (photo is below) of a trapezoidal silhouette. This cut facilitates the line of the shoulders and gradually extends downward. Most often, this model is accompanied by a hood, a large fur collar or other elements. A trapezoidal coat does not imply a belt. This is ideal for owners of a figure of a triangular and oval type, as well as for those who seek to mask the imperfections of the figure and add femininity to the image. But women with a wide shoulder line from the trapezoidal cut should refrain.
Loose fit
Oversize coats are quite widespread today, and not only among young girls. These products are free-form, worn without a belt and are suitable for almost everyone, except those who have problems with being overweight. This is explained by the fact that slender girls in a coat of this cut look feminine and cute, but the owners of a magnificent figure with such a cut will only emphasize their shortcomings.
Fancy models
In addition to these models, there are coats of original cut, presented in a wide variety, for example, in recent years, products with flared shortened sleeves are very popular. Choosing such styles, we should not forget about their practical side, because due to the stylistic features, they often cannot provide enough heat, which plays a big role in our climate. Models with short sleeves suggest the presence of long gloves. But be that as it may, the girl in such a product will look stylish and elegant.
Materials
For sewing a coat with a fur collar, various fabrics are used, mainly with the content of wool. In addition, models made of leather and raincoat fabric are popular. So, consider the options:
- Leather. Genuine leather products with a fur collar are the trends of recent seasons, in addition, this outerwear is quite warm and ideal for the cold season. Fur pockets and cuffs can serve as additional decorative elements. The most popular are medium-length coats in classic color options - brown, blue, black, green and shades of beige.
- Drap. Products from this material are found most often, in general, drape coats can be considered classics. Drapery fabric has excellent wind and heat protection properties. When choosing a draped coat with a fur collar, try to avoid options made of fluffy material, since spools form on it.
- Wool. In such a coat it will be warm in the winter cold, but it is not entirely practical. The fact is that wool is afraid of water and requires proper care. But, despite this, many women prefer a woolen coat with a fur collar, because it is stylish, elegant, and also indicates the status of the owner.
- Cashmere. Not many can afford a product made of this material, since it is one of the most expensive options. However, despite the high cost, a cashmere coat with a fur collar has low wear resistance. The same can be said about velor products, they quickly lose their shape.
- Tweed. For long-term wear, tweed coats with a characteristic herringbone pattern are most suitable.
- Raincoat fabric. A raincoat item with a fur collar is perhaps the most versatile winter clothing of recent years. This material has excellent windproof and moisture resistant properties, and modern heaters perfectly protect against cold. Raincoats are very comfortable and light.
Types of fur
Finishing clothes, especially the top, plays a huge role and attracts attention. Even the warmest and well-tailored coat will not be appreciated if the fur on the collar is not of the best quality. And we are talking not only about natural, but also about artificial fur. Each species has its own characteristics: both external and in terms of service life.
- Faux fur. Most often it is made of acrylic, which contains a small percentage of silk and cotton. Faux fur can imitate natural fur or, conversely, be very different from it, but in any case, it is much inferior in properties. Unnatural fur has poor heat-shielding characteristics, it can wear out and deform when moisture gets in, and its service life is quite short. From the positive qualities, accessibility and lightness can be distinguished, as well as quality made fur is hypoallergenic and does not require special care.
- Natural fur. For the collar trim, various types of natural fur are used - inexpensive and valuable. Sable fur is considered to be the most expensive, since ancient times it testified to the high prosperity of the owner. It is very soft, shiny, with a long service life. Sable fur is very expensive, so it is used most often for decoration.
- Fox fur. It has excellent thermal insulation properties, the pile is soft, thick and long, in the cold it becomes fluffy. The cost of a women's winter coat with a fox fur collar is low, this fur gives the woman special notes of character, including cunning and charm.
- Mink. This fur belongs to the elite. It is quite light, soft and has an attractive appearance. A mink collar gives the image a presentable appearance; it will last about eight to ten seasons.
- Raccoon. Raccoon fur has recently gained popularity, functional properties and cost put it in the middle of the list of all existing types of fur. It is light, fluffy and soft, with a long pile. The cost of a raccoon is a little more expensive than a fox, and in terms of heat-shielding properties it is better than mink. In its natural form, it is practically not used to create really stylish and beautiful clothes, it is painted and tinted.
The warmest types of fur are fox, muton, sable and marten.
How to wear a coat with fur
A fur coat is an indispensable element in the image of every business woman. Models made of natural fur with a short pile such as mink, astrakhan and others, are ideally combined with tight skirts, classic trousers and high-heeled shoes.
Universal styles can be called free-cut styles that fit perfectly into the frantic pace of urban life. This coat looks great with strict clothes, as well as with jeans and comfortable shoes. At the same time, it is important to take into account the features of the cut and put on something underneath the bottom.
For romantic girls, flared coat models with a fur collar are more suitable (the photo can be viewed in the text), which can be made from both natural and faux fur. Products of this cut can be worn with almost any thing, beating the mood with the help of various accessories and shoes.
