With the onset of cold weather, every fashionista wants to dress in a stylish fur coat, but is faced with the breadth of the model range and the subsequent problem of choice.
Undoubtedly, a fur coat should be not only functional, but also attractive in appearance. One of the options is a mink fur coat, which will be discussed.
Features and Benefits
A feature of the fur coat of cross-sewing is the manufacturing technique, which we will later examine in more detail.
And the undoubted advantage is a very flexible pricing policy, which allows even girls with a precarious financial situation to purchase a product.
Which coat is better transverse, longitudinal or solid mink?
Disagreements at the expense of sewing mink coats are completely natural, since each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages.
For a more convenient and detailed review of each of them, we have compiled a small table containing the most necessary information.

Transverse fur coat |
Long fur coat |
One-piece fur coat |
Visual features |
Represents a product from rather wide fur strips fastened among themselves horizontally. |
Fur coat made of wide fur flaps sewn together in a vertical direction. |
It is a fur product from a single piece of skin or from small flaps fastened with hidden seams. |
Manufacturing Features |
Small patches are sewn together in such a way that they form transverse strips. This is how the product itself and its small parts are made - sleeves, hood and collar. |
It is made according to the same technique as the transverse fur coat, with only one difference - the flaps are sewn together in the longitudinal direction and whole pieces can be used in the manufacture of sleeves and a hood. |
It is made of solid fur fabric. Since the mink skins are quite small, the technology of blind seams is used to create a visually whole canvas from several pieces. |
Price-quality ratio" |
The price is much lower than that of a longitudinal or solid option, but not at all inferior in quality. |
The product has an average price and very high quality. |
The most expensive option, as well as the highest quality, because particles of snow and dirt do not fall into the seam line. |
Models
In the old days, the fur coat had the same cut and differed only in length and the presence of a hood. Now everything has changed and the range of this product is surprisingly wide.
Transforming fur coat is a very unusual novelty of this season, as it can serve as a short product or a classic knee length product. It's all about a special invisible zipper that allows you to adjust the length that is convenient for you.
Other details, such as sleeves and a hood, can also be unfastened, creating a demi-season fur vest.
Fur coats of a straight cut - a model that goes from season to season and retains its popularity for many years. Such a product is preferable for slender girls, since folds in the hips can form on the full figure.
There are other models, such as auto-ice - a shortened fur coat, a model with various collar options - a stand, a folding collar or just a rounded neckline.
Length
The fur coat can have different lengths, from the change of which the appearance and functional features radically change.
For example, a short fur coat is not so warm, since it does not protect the lower part of the body from the cold, but is great for motorists.
Fur coat to the knee - a classic option perfect for colds. As they say, all ingenious is simple - functional, harmonious and warm.
The fur coat can have a floor length, which is very important in severe frosts, but is not very convenient in everyday use, since a long hem can interfere.
Color
More recently, the color scheme of outerwear, including fur coats, was not so extensive, since it was not customary to wear brightly colored items, and there were no special technologies for their high-quality coloring.
But all this has long been in the past and now fur factories amaze not only with the breadth of the model range, but also with a rich color palette.
The black-brown shade of a fur coat, also called the sable color, is quite common.
Due to the special shine and overflow of fur villas, the product looks much more interesting than a classic black fur coat.
A gray coat looks very restrained, but over time it can get bored. Therefore, stylists are advised to purchase an ash or smoky product that looks deeper and “thicker”.
A classic black fur coat never goes out of style, because it suits absolutely everyone and sits on any figure. Some girls prefer a lighter shade of black, which is a dark gray tone with light tints - graphite.
Light fur coats still remain in trend, but are not quite practical, since light clothes are always more prone to pollution. A white fur coat sits perfectly on a slender figure, but chubby girls are better off avoiding buying such a product, since white color increases the volume.
Fur coats of warm colors are most popular, because they look very feminine and effectively and visually create a feeling of warmth. Bright representatives of such shades are brown, beige, red and milky colors.
The “powder” color is an unusual novelty, which is a combination of light beige and light pink shades. This product is suitable for ladies with a dark skin tone or with a light tan.
The color with the unusual name "Mahogany" is an interesting dark shade of brown. Light overflows on the animal’s hair create the effect of a smooth pile, despite the fact that the fur is quite fluffy.
A lighter shade of brown is a nutty color that is perfect for any skin and hair color, as well as any type of figure and oval of the face.
Blue mink looks a bit unnatural in a typical urban environment, but still has a considerable number of fans. Stylists do not advise buying a fur coat of such a shade as an everyday product, but it is worth considering a shortened model as a decorative addition to evening looks.
Who is it for?
Cross coats are suitable for many girls, regardless of the type of figure. The right size, as well as the style - this is the key to a successful image.
Thin girls can afford any fur coat, while girls with rounded full shapes are better off choosing a loose trapezoidal cut.
How to choose?
When choosing a fur coat, however, like any other outerwear, you should be more careful and carefully examine all the small details that may turn out to be of poor quality.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the quality of the fur. Many unscrupulous manufacturers give out high-quality synthetic fakes for natural furs, which are quite easy to distinguish. To recognize natural fur, it is necessary to "stroke it against the wool."
Synthetic villi will rise and remain in this position, and the natural skin is an example of the original appearance.
The second, important feature is the quality of the seams. But in this case, it’s worth taking care not only about the side seams, but also about how the product flaps are sewn together. Between them there should be no gaps, as well as small holes that can subsequently form into larger ones.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to the fact that all the threads are neatly trimmed, the fur is smooth and uniform, and the product itself is sewn symmetrically and have smooth edges and the same length of sleeves.
And, of course, do not forget about the clasps. They should not be too weak so that the product does not unfasten constantly, but should not be too tight. Special buttons should be easily fastened and unfastened, and also hold tight.
Reviews
- Recently acquired a fur coat of cross tailoring from a mink. Very pleased, the fur coat is warm and looks beautiful.
- I am happy with my purchase! A cross from a mink gray smoky color looks very unusual and beautiful, all the girlfriends are envious! Pleased with the price, which is much lower than other models.
- Quite a long time thinking about buying a fur coat, and then very carefully approached her choice. Since there was a certain restriction on money - I could not afford a whole mink, and I had to choose from longitudinal and transverse models. As a result, I got a "cross" and do not regret it at all! Fur coat in the best traditions of Chanel, high-quality fashionable and beautiful. And most importantly, heats even in the most severe frosts.
What to wear?
The combination of a fur coat with other things directly depends on the model of the product itself, since some options may simply not be compatible.
For example, a classic-length fur coat and sweatpants are categorically not combined. For such a model of a fur coat, it is better to choose narrowed trousers or a pencil skirt, in combination with high boots.
Short fur coats can be worn safely with jeans and various models of trousers. As for shoes - there are practically no restrictions; you can use both short shoes and long boots.
For severe frosts, high-quality uggs made of natural materials - suede and fur, which, among other things, are equipped with a rubber sole that can not be squeezed and does not slip, come in handy.
Long coats can be combined with almost any other thing, since the hem of this model hides the rest of the clothes underneath.
Spectacular images
Every girl, regardless of external data, wants to look attractive and stylish, so correctly selected elements of the image can play a big role in creating the perfect outfit. Let us consider in more detail the most stylish models of mink transverse fur coats, as well as their most successful combinations with other things.
- A vivid image for real fashionistas can be created by picking up a red fur coat with a long sleeve and a stand-up collar. Combining it with leather leggings, it’s worth picking up shoes with flat soles (it can be both high boots of black or sand color, and cute comfortable uggs), and put on a light milky long sleeve coat and a stylish mustard jacket underneath. This image is more suitable for blondes, because this color scheme favorably sets off the hair.
A short coat of granite hue with a sleeve to the elbow is not only a warm addition to an elegant look, but also a very functional unit of everyday wardrobe. In combination with ordinary jeans, a turtleneck or sweater, as well as low boots, the image will be perfect for the city rush. But do not forget about the shortened sleeve, so as not to shrink from the cold, it is better to purchase long leather gloves with fur.
A little unusual, but stylish combination is obtained if you put on a brown coat of classical length to the knee, which has a sleeve to the elbow, on the most ordinary black leather jacket. Complement this look with beige skinny pants and black winter booties. And to give him a slightly playful mood, you need to pick up stylish accessories in the form of golden bracelets and a small brown clutch.
A milky mink coat with a fastener on buttons and one decorative button in the collar area - the stand will go well with black trousers of both narrowed and classic models. Shoes should be selected based on the style of the trousers, and it is also necessary to acquire elongated black gloves.
The fur coat to the knee with a hood has a very unusual color: thanks to the transverse tailoring, with a combination of wide brown and narrow black stripes, you get a rather interesting and effective product. You can combine such a fur coat with skinny trousers, leggings, skirts or leggings. As shoes, boots or ankle boots with heels are suitable.
The classic brown transverse fur coat, sewn from wide stripes, has a rounded neckline, which necessitates a scarf in cold weather. This model is perfect to combine with a classic business dress. Heeled shoes and bracelets with precious stones will become an integral part of the image.
