A mink coat below the knee is almost equal to a jewel. This is not just outerwear, but a certain value to which you need to grow. A long fur coat gives the image gloss and chic, as well as amazing comfort - in any weather it is wonderful to wrap yourself in delicate fur ...

Benefits

A long mink coat, up to the middle of the calves or just above the ankle, is an excellent escape from the cold. With such a fur coat you can safely put on both trousers and a skirt without worrying about the frost outside the windows.

Another advantage of a long mink coat is its status. The longer the product, the more fur went into its creation, respectively, the higher the price. A luxurious long coat immediately declares that this is not a simple outerwear, but an indicator of the well-being of its owner.

A long coat implies a special quality, since the cut below the knee allows you to use the whole skins and minimize the number of seams.

A long fur coat is the best suited to demonstrate the precious beauty of the fur, especially when it comes to unusual, expensive mink breeds, such as "cross".

Models and styles

When purchasing a long mink coat, you need to focus on the features of your figure and the purpose of the fur coat itself. For every day, a straight cut coat or with an A-silhouette will be an excellent option. This option will emphasize femininity and make the figure more seductive.

Fur-trapeze coats look good, the length of which reaches the middle of the calves. The main thing is that such a product is not too bulky on the shoulders - despite the style, the silhouette should not become voluminous.

Long coats look great with a stand-up collar made in a minimalist style.The other side is a luxurious collar made of another type of fur, for example, fox, red or silver fox. Long mink coats with a hood look good, the main thing is that it be soft and voluminous, since the small one will look ridiculous.

The wide sleeves of the “bat” or tapering to the cuffs look interesting. By the way, on the cuffs there can also be inserts from another fur - longer or different in color.

Color

A long mink coat is the best opportunity to demonstrate the quality and beauty of the fur, so it is better to purchase a product of natural color, not dyed. The color of the mink skin is not only a matter of aesthetics and beauty, but also an indicator of the uniqueness of the fur, one of the serious components of the price of the entire fur coat.

There are several shades of mink fur, from light, almost snow-white, to dark, saturated black:

White shade "White Mink";

Beautiful light shade "pearl";

"Palomino" - pastel beige color;

Light gray shade “Violet Mink”;

"Sapphire" restrained gray shade;

Mink-cross - light fur with dark markings along the back;

Silver - gray fur with a slight grayish tint;

Walnut, pale brown mink;

"Mahogany" - a rich, noble-coffee shade;

Dark brown standard mink (STK);

The black shade of “scanblack” is also called “blacklam” or “blacknaf”.

Sewing methods

Long mink coats have different ways of sewing, each of which has its own advantages:

In the dissolution. The most expensive and time-consuming method of sewing, which has come from ancient times to the present. When sewing “for dissolution”, whole skins are first cut into strips and then assembled together. This allows you to create a softer, lighter and more flexible product, as well as to make the coat look “monolithic”, without seams between the plates.

Plates. These fur coats are sewn from whole skins, about the size of the animal itself. When cutting, the skins are cut into plates, then stitched together. This type of tailoring makes the products more durable and wearable, but does not allow the use of complex cuts or designer “chips” that require finer work.

From the flaps. Fur is a valuable material, they will not be able to scatter. Therefore, tailoring of fur coats often involves less valuable elements: paws, tails, foreheads. Skins from these places are carefully collected and stitched. Patchwork coats are of two types - those where the “mosaic” is not hidden, but rather emphasized, and those that are trimmed or dyed to hide heterogeneity.

By stitching. Fur (most often long-haired - silver fox, Arctic fox) is cut into strips, which are then sewn onto leather or suede ribbons, matched to the color of the fur. A long pile overlaps the joints, so that the product looks completely solid and the difference between them is not visible.

How much is?

The price of a decent mink coat depends on a lot of factors. This is the value of fur, and the method of tailoring, and the country of origin. If we talk about good, solid products, then in specialized boutiques their price now ranges from 200 to 350 thousand rubles.

There are more budget options, from sheared or plucked mink. Fur coats sewn by flaps also have a lower price - in the region of 100-150 thousand rubles. Chic design options, from exclusive fur, can reach the sum with six zeros.

What to wear?

Most of all, long mink coats go to slender and tall young ladies. But even the owners of the ideal do not always wear them correctly. First of all, it is worth paying attention to shoes.

A long coat will look great with heels - boots or ankle boots.

Do not be afraid to buy high shoes for such a fur coat - the boots can reach the knee, there will be no imbalance. If you prefer shoes with low soles, then strict fur boots or oxfords perfectly complement the fur coat.

For everyday life, it is quite possible to choose simple clothes for a fur coat “on the floor” - tight jeans or loose trousers, a sweater or a turtleneck under the throat.An office suit will also be appropriate. The main feature of such a fur coat is that on the street no one will see your outfit dressed underneath, so all attention is paid to accessories.

If we talk about a headdress, then several options will suit a long fur coat. First of all, this is a neat hat from the same mink, in tone or a little lighter. A good choice is a scarf or stole, tied to the head. It can be woolen, silk or cashmere, according to the weather and your preferences. Another option is a beret or a knitted hat.

The main thing is not to choose a voluminous headdress, as well as a hat that will reduce the cost of the image.
