Fashion designers love fox fur for its softness, suppleness and ability to hold its shape. Thanks to these properties, you can create original styles from it. However, the fox fur is difficult to process due to the heterogeneous coloring and the difference in the thickness of the skin in individual sections.

Reviews
Arctic fox fur coats are popular with customers due to their luxurious appearance, high wear resistance, and thermal properties. If compared with mink, then their price is lower. Some women object that such things fade, the fur comes out, but if you choose a really high-quality product and follow all the rules of care, you can carry a fox fur coat for at least 10 seasons. In addition, this fur lends itself well to restoration.
How to choose?
To buy a fur coat you need to approach in detail, because this thing is not for one season. And the determining moment should be not only the beauty of the product (to wear it outside of fashion and time), but also practicality.
The choice of polar fox fur in specialized salons is huge. When choosing a fur coat, keep in mind that the fur of an animal grown on a farm is not as strong as that of a wild animal. Natural fur has a higher cost. Most models are made of adjustable fox. Such a fur coat will need to be worn carefully so as to preserve its presentable appearance for longer.
It is better when the animal’s fur is obtained in the winter (January-February), then it will be the most durable and warm (since the animal does not fade during this period).
When purchasing a white fur coat, be prepared for the fact that over time it will inevitably turn yellow. In this regard, it is preferable to choose a model of blue or veil shade (yellowness will still appear, but will not be so visible). Carefully inspect the fur. It should be uniform, the same in length, as well as thick and lush.
Make sure that this is really a fox fur, and not a fox fur (the animal is the result of crossing a polar and black-brown fox). The fox has a low, soft spine, the same as the underfur, while the fox has the back hair hard.
Inside, do not hesitate to ask to show the inside of the fur coat: for this you need to slightly tarnish the lining. Mezdra can not be very thin (this suggests that the skin is overstretched), yellowish-gray, brittle.
How to care?
A fur coat made of fox fur needs some care. You need to regularly comb the hairs with a brush, purchased specifically for these purposes in a fur salon.
If you notice abrasions on clothing, keep in mind that this defect can be corrected - you can put intact fur in their place. An arctic fox coat can always be repainted, and if necessary redraw. Be sure to keep the product label. For example, if you wear a thing made of faux fur, wash it only at the right temperature (if washing is permissible at all)
What to wear?
When choosing accessories for such a luxurious thing, remember that the arctic fox coat itself is almost a complete image that does not require special additions.
The more spectacular your model, the more elegant and modest the complementary clothing and accessories should be. According to stylists, a fur coat does not go well with hats. Therefore, choose a model with a hood or the same voluminous fur hat (it can also be made of Arctic fox). This kit will especially adorn a miniature slim girl. Looks good and a scarf, nicely tied on his head.
Fashionable short fur models go well with skinny jeans, skirts, knitted tunics.
From shoes it is worth picking over boots or ankle boots with heels or wedges, they will visually lengthen the legs. Grab a clutch of saturated color as a bag.
A classic-length fur coat looks harmonious with a narrow skirt or dress. Almost any knee-length shoe, with or without high heels, on the platform or with a slight rise, fitting the foot or with a sling, will suit it. The color of the boots should be close to the color of the fur coat, and it is better if there are no shiny decor elements on them.
With a fur coat length mini and midi, you can also wear a novelty of the season - Australian uggs trimmed with fur at the top. With a long coat, any model of boots will be appropriate (with the exception of shoes with fur trim). Gloves should be selected in contrasting leather or suede.
The images
A short fur coat from a polar fox up to the middle of a thigh of a beautiful dark brown color, which is very suitable for a blonde with luxurious curls. The voluminous thing does not at all fill the slim figure of the girl. Fashionable details of the product - a shortened wide sleeve to the elbow and a neat stand-up collar make it original. Girl's clothes - tight trousers and a transparent turtleneck serve as a harmonious complement to the image.
A long white fox fur coat looks extremely impressive, creating a glamorous image (the makeup of a girl is an additional confirmation of this). The clothes were chosen very well: a knitted mini-dress of fashionable gray color, body tights, black boots, boots, a small clutch bag. Long leather gloves look beautiful with a shortened sleeve, creating a color contrast. Everything works to create a glamorous image, and above all the makeup and hairstyle of a fashionable woman.
