Long coats have always been considered a sign of wealth - they look luxurious. But, in addition to the visual component, it is still the warmest item in the wardrobe. Therefore, in the fierce winter without a fur coat length of the floor can not do. And also it is useful for ceremonial exits to throw on evening and cocktail dresses.
What models are there?
The fur coat can be made of faux fur or natural. If your life values do not allow you to wear animal fur, then its synthetic substitutes will be a worthy alternative in your wardrobe.
By types of raw materials, fur coats can be divided into the following groups:
- with long fur: wolf, sable, raccoon, arctic fox, goat and fox fur;
- with medium: mink, chinchilla, marten fur;
- short: astrakhan, sheepskin, rabbit, as well as various sheared options.
Recently, models have come into fashion that combine several types of fur, differing both in texture and in color. It is also possible to use colored options - from the brightest to delicate colors.
The styles of long coats are limited, most often, to two main options: a straight and wide model.
The product may have a hood or collar, narrow or wide sleeves. It is more practical when the wide sleeve is assembled on the wrist and fits snugly to it, so the heat is better preserved.
The decor of a fur product is usually laconic, since a fur coat itself is a woman's decoration. Buttons, decorative fasteners, beautiful brooches and belts may be present on the product.
How to choose and what to wear?
When buying, pay special attention to the quality of the fur, its luster, uniformity and method of tailoring the product. Not a good solution would be a long coat of pieces, as it looks awkward.
If you have already decided to purchase the most expensive type of outerwear, then your choice in all respects should correspond: both externally and in quality.
To choose the appropriate option, you need to take into account your color type of appearance and features of the figure. Classic colors such as gray and beige will suit any color type.
As for the figures, we remember that the most bulky coat looks in the floor with a long pile. Only a woman of sufficiently tall stature can afford it. Miniature ladies will be more decorated with models with short fur.
The length is best to choose one that opens the ankle. An elegant model of boots with an average, stable heel will complement the image. As a headdress, it is best to choose a stole or a hat. They look elegant and always relevant, unlike fur hats.
It will not be difficult to create a beautiful image with a long model of a fur coat - just pick up the accessories. What will be worn under outerwear is not so important, because this is not visible. Therefore, we focus on the handbag, gloves, belt, hat and shoes.
If this is a festive occasion, then it will be appropriate to decorate the fur coat with a beautiful brooch.
Features of caring for a long coat
Product length implies that the bottom is most affected. Therefore, after each exit, the hem of the fur coat must be cleaned. For this, it is preferable to have in your arsenal a special comb with two types of teeth.
It is undesirable to use a long fur coat in a car - the fur may come from frequent sitting and lose its uniformity and presentability. You must also protect your pet from wet snow and mud.
Keep the fur coat in a special separate case with openings for air. They provide ventilation of the product. There should be enough space in the room so that the fur is not crushed by neighboring things. It is also undesirable for light to get on the coat. This is especially harmful for light options, which can visibly turn yellow from light.
Be sure to take care of the presence of a moth in the storage room or in the case itself. In most cases, it’s enough to put a bar of lavender soap.
The best solution for the care and storage of an expensive specimen of valuable fur will be a special storage facility, which for a fee will professionally take care of your treasure in the summer.
There is nothing warmer and more luxurious than a long fur coat. Properly selected product and careful care of it will allow you to use this type of outerwear for at least ten years.
