Buying a mink coat is a serious step that requires appropriate preparation. For an unprepared fashionista, her head can go around with a variety of styles and colors. In order to rid oneself of worries about the correctness of the choice made, it is necessary to have an idea of the cut options, fur coat styles and the specifics of the shades of mink fur.

When should you choose a light-colored fur coat?

For exits "into the light", light shades of a fur coat will do just fine. Traditionally, for social events, ladies dress up in dark colors, so a white or cream-nut coat will stand out against the general background.

For long regular walks in the open air or trips in a car and on public transport, light furs are much less advantageous than dark ones: they are most noticeable with splashes and street dirt.

Long fur coats “on the floor” require a certain skill - the reason for this lies all in the same susceptibility of light fur to rapid pollution. Even if you really liked the elongated model, you should think carefully before deciding on such an acquisition - otherwise there is a risk of regular dry cleaning, which also does not benefit the fur.

Styles and models

Compilation of a complete classification of variations in the cut of fur coats is an almost impossible mission. Specialists propose to distinguish the following main types of models and styles:

Classic - A long straight coat, suitable for ladies with a conservative taste.

Bathrobe - a comfortable coat with a smell and a belt, reminiscent of oriental clothes in a cut.

Flared fur coat - A universal model that perfectly hides any flaws in the figure.

Cleopatra - a transforming fur coat with an internal lace from the waist to the middle of the calf.

Year - strict top in combination with a very flared bottom, recommended for tall and slender women.

French - a straight-cut fur coat with a fluffy collar made of fox or sable fur.

Autolady - a medium-length fur coat with a slightly flared back.

Bat - a shortened fur coat to the waist visually stretches the top of the silhouette and makes the figure more proportional.

Butterfly - a shortened trapezoidal fur coat with openwork decorated sleeves.

Jellyfish - one of the most original styles: a voluminous fur coat equipped with a hood with draped floors and sleeves.

Color and shades

The color of a fur coat, as a rule, depends on the habitat of the mink and its breed, as well as the specifics of the selection of skins and their dressing. Among the light shades of mink fur, the following are distinguished:

mocha and cappuccino - various shades of brown, coffee tones;
pastel - dozens of variations of beige, sapphire, topaz, powder color and palomino;
fawn - beige and pink shades;
gray pearls - the color, increasingly called the "new black";
snow-white - the most "moody" and demanding fur.

A mink fur coat is not a cheap pleasure, but the time during which it will be actively worn is definitely worth it. As a rule, a well-sewn coat serves its owner for ten years or more.

Of course, the purchase of a mink coat should be treated as a long-term investment in personal comfort and image - it is extremely undesirable to make a mistake in choosing. It is especially important to choose the right mink coat of light shades, which are much more demanding as to accuracy when wearing, and in storage.

How to choose by color?

Light shades of mink fur always stand out among a variety of darker colors. It has long been known that light furs are suitable for both very young girls and mature ladies. The first they add femininity and sophistication, while the second in such a coat will visually become several years younger.

When choosing a light mink coat, stylists advise focusing on the type of appearance. For fair-skinned girls with blue and light gray eyes, fur with a blue or silver tint is ideal.

Black coats, similar to that color, were traditionally wooed by brunettes, however, the tendency of recent years is directly opposite - ladies with dark hair are increasingly appearing in snow-white mink coats.

Representatives of the Slavic type of appearance, characterized by warm skin tones and light brown hair color, experts recommend fur with a pearl shimmer, as well as pastel, gray and light beige colors.

How to store?

Fur coats made of light mink fur are extremely rarely bought as casual clothes - this is a luxurious component of the “weekend” look. Bad weather and bright sun, tobacco smoke and other negative factors are especially fatal for light fur.

Experts recommend adhering to strict rules, compliance with which will allow even a snow-white fur coat to look luxurious even after many years:

to store such a fur coat should be in a case made of a special fabric, which, as a rule, comes with the purchase;
exclude prolonged exposure to the fur of direct sunlight - otherwise the fur coat may turn yellow;
in case the owner of the fur coat got into it in the rain or snow, the fur coat should be gently but strongly shaken, hung on a coat hanger and placed as far as possible from heat sources, in a room with good ventilation;
it is highly advisable to avoid cosmetics and even perfumes getting on the fur - they may leave greasy yellowish spots;
if serious contamination does occur, it is better to immediately put the coat in dry cleaning.

For lovers of long walks through the streets of the city, fur coats of pearl gray shades are more suitable, which are much less prone to pollution and easier to care for.

It is important to understand that the presence of a hood in a fur coat does not exclude the possibility of wearing it complete with a hat - however, it is necessary to avoid the feeling that the lady decided to wear all the most expensive and beautiful at once.
