Each woman has a different fur coat, but still in most cases, when choosing a fur coat, ladies are not guided by her beauty, oddly enough, but by her prestige, which means they choose a standard fur coat from a rather standard, albeit expensive, natural fur. No doubt, properly made natural fur is beautiful in itself, but, paradoxically, it does not always look good in a product where it often loses its charm.
Meanwhile, couturiers of world catwalks offer interesting collections of faux fur, which, not only that not every fashionista can immediately distinguish from natural, are also favorably distinguished by beauty and originality among the vast majority of mink or mouton fur coats sewn in one pattern. Do we want to be in a fur coat or beautiful? It’s good if both of these desires come true
Benefits
Realization of the bold fantasies of the designer: from style to color
The styles of fur coats made of natural fur are limited by the material itself, since the fabric is made up of a fairly large number of skins, which, firstly, must be selected as suitable as possible to create the effect of a single fabric. Secondly, skins sewn together, sooner or later, can begin to stretch and tear at the joints.
Thirdly, styles of fur coats other than straight cut often have a higher cost, because too much excellent fur will go to waste. The same can be said of fur coats.Faux fur is originally a whole canvas, which means you can hide anything from it: a fur coat with a raglan sleeve or a bat, an oversize or strictly in shape, a straight line or with a pleated skirt - the main thing is that you suit and like it .
Easy care
It is no secret that a natural fur coat, when improperly maintained, very quickly loses its appearance. It must not be exposed to rain or wet snow. You should not hang such a thing in a closet full of things (this, in principle, is not useful for any things, but especially for fur products, because it will be extremely difficult to put in order fur later on).
Of course, it is also necessary to take care of artificial fur, but this care is much simpler - you can wash and even squeeze a fur coat out of it (depending on the type of artificial fur), it is much easier and faster to dry, it can be cleaned with improvised means in case of contamination.
Durability
If you will not be too neglectful of this type of outerwear, then durability can be considered as a disadvantage, because, with proper care, your fur coat, as they say, "will not be demolished."
Affordable price
Given the price, you can afford to buy a wide variety of fur coats from faux fur much more often than from natural, if, of course, this is not an exclusive option from the world couturier. However, then this price will include several fur coats from natural fur of the average fur factory.
Hypoallergenic
Unfortunately, not all ladies who want and have the opportunity to buy a fur coat made of natural fur will be able to wear it, since allergic reactions to animal fur and fur, as a rule, do not want to reckon with our desires and even financial capabilities. With a fur coat made of fur, such a problem simply cannot arise.
Humanity
You can argue a lot on this topic, however, if you live in areas with extremely low temperatures, where there is simply no place for such disputes, the issue of animal protection can be a decisive argument in favor of buying a beautiful stylish fur coat. A beautiful new thing and a clear conscience is a wonderful combination.
Models
Faux fur is one of the most grateful materials regarding the most creative models and styles of products that can be implemented with its help:
- A short fur coat is an option that is especially appreciated by auto-ice. They can be straight or fitted style. The latest models from fashion houses, imitating a dress with a detachable flared skirt, look especially impressive. A mini dress and high-heeled stiletto heel boots are ideal for such a fur coat.
- Coat-coat of medium length straight cut. Fur coats with short or long nap up to or just below the knee look great on almost any woman, skinny or lady in the body. In addition, a variety of shoes perfectly fit with a fur coat of this style, with high or low heels, high boots or short ankle boots, on a platform or on a flat sole.
- Fur-coat, imitating a product from natural fur with a horizontal cut. Of course, such a fur coat “for chinchilla” should be chosen with caution by full women so as not to increase the already existing excess volume.
- Fur coat with a hood. An indispensable option for those who do not like to wear hats or protect their hair. A hood thrown over your head will protect you from piercing bad weather or wind and will bring a touch of romantic flair to your look.
- Fur coat with sleeves made of another material, for example, knitwear or leatherette. Variants in which several types of fabrics are successfully combined always look very stylish.
- Trendy short, long and medium length sleeveless coats. Such fur coats worn over light coats look especially impressive.
- A fur coat sewn from pieces. Not a very common option.
It’s difficult to list all the styles of such fur coats, since they depend only on the height of the fur (you must admit that with high and fluffy fur it becomes unimportant, the fur coat is very fitted or not) and the designer’s imagination.
Length
This option also varies depending on your desire. You can purchase both a short fur jacket, for example, to the waist, and a long fur coat on the floor.
Fur coats of large sizes for full
It is sometimes difficult for full ladies to pick up outerwear made of natural fur - after all, a large product will weigh a lot, not to mention its price and the attached additional volume. If the woman has a non-standard large size, then it is only possible to make a fur coat to order, and her style also can not always decorate her owner. A fur coat-coat made of faux fur easily solves such problems, as a woman can choose the style and color that suits her.
Types of fur
Faux fur can be unlike any natural fur, and can highly mimic most natural furs: astrakhan fur, llama, lynx, chinchilla, silver fox, with long or short nap.
Depending on the production technology, faux fur can be divided into several types:
- Knitted - tufts of pile are knitted into the loops of the knitted fabric or long loops are created, which are then cut, forming, in fact, a pile, which is fixed with a special coating.
- Woven - formed by connecting three threads (warp, weft, pile), resulting in the formation of two paintings connected by one pile. They are separated by cutting the pile.
- Tufted - the main fabric is stitched with a pile thread on a tufted machine, then the pile is cut, leveled, combed.
- Glue - the pile thread is simply glued to the main fabric.
For the pile, both synthetic fibers (nylon, lavsan) and natural fibers (wool) are used. To imitate natural fur as much as possible, the artificial pile is subjected to shrinkage and heat treatment, as a result of which the pile becomes heterogeneous and resembles natural spine and underfur.
There are also several types of staining:
- screen;
- airbrushing;
- layered.
Color and print
Equal in color to faux fur can not be found even among dyed natural furs:
- Classic white and black.
- Equally traditional are brown and gray.
- Spectacular red and pink.
- Extravagant blue and green.
- Original motley.
Prints can also satisfy the most sophisticated tastes and needs:
- Natural - leopard, lynx, chinchilla.
- Geometric - multi-colored or plain spots or stripes.
- Floral - trimmed or woven on the canvas.
How much is?
The price of a fur coat made of faux fur depends on the promotion of the brand, the style of the product, its size and place of purchase. You can buy a short fur coat made from pieces of faux fur for 2500 rubles and a fur coat from Stella McCartney, which has long specialized in products made from such material, which will cost you several thousand dollars, at one of the online stores.
How to wash?
A very great advantage of faux fur is that products sewn from it can generally be washed manually or even in an automatic machine, choosing the delicate washing mode and gentle washing powder. You can also use the spin cycle and make sure that after washing such a thing does not deform and does not sit down. Dry the coat should be straightened at room temperature, however, avoiding the proximity of heating appliances, and, from time to time, shaking. After drying, it is recommended to comb the fur with a brush or comb in the direction of the pile. Sometimes a white fur coat may simply turn yellow; in this case, it will also be easy to wash it.
Reviews
Reviews of faux fur coats are mainly divided into three types:
- Those for whom the fact of having a natural fur coat as a status item is important.Ladies from this category simply do not consider the very possibility of acquiring faux fur coats, no matter what their advantages. Accordingly, reviews of such products are extremely negative, despite the fact that they may never have worn them.
- Those for whom design is in the first place, and this category of women, most often, already has or had things from natural fur. These reviews are extremely diverse and emphasize the originality of the styles and colors of the selected fur coats. Those reviews that are negative in color mainly relate to the quality of the product itself and the small range of low temperatures at which it will not be cold in such a fur coat.
- A special category of women who do not accept wearing natural fur coats, as well as other things made from natural materials, for ethical reasons. Their reviews also relate to the quality of the product as such, as well as models and styles.
What to wear?
Faux fur coat, as, indeed, any other element of the wardrobe, it is important to correctly "submit":
- A short fur coat with a short or medium pile will go well with skirts or trousers, narrow or wide.
- To a fur coat with a long pile to the middle of the thigh leggings “under the skin” and a T-shirt are perfect, and if you prefer a feminine style, then wear a flowing dress and high-heeled ankle boots.
- An oversized fur coat to create a harmonious look is best worn with tight-fitting things, such as skinny jeans.
- Fur coats with prints “under the leopard”, “under the zebra”, “under the chinchilla” mean self-sufficiency, so all other things can only be a backdrop. At the same time, accessories must comply with the rule “one leopard is good, but two are many” and not repeat the print of the fur coat.
- A long coat with a hood, of course, will look better on a tall girl, and a short girl will prefer a medium or short length.
- Choosing a hat, and it can be a knitted hat, scarf or hat, pay attention to the fact that its color should be in harmony with the fur coat.
