Belt for a fur coat
The belt is an important element of women's outerwear. Complementing your favorite fur coat, he will effectively complete the image, and also will not allow the cold wind to get under the clothes. And having in the arsenal of several different belts, each time you can look in a new way.
Coat under the belt
Choosing a belt under a fur coat, it is necessary to take into account its style. This accessory will look good with fitted options. A straight or flared model and without a belt can look stylish and beautiful. But sometimes you want to introduce an element of novelty into the image or to ensure that the clothes slim the figure. In these cases, a belt is the best solution. Moreover, it can not only be picked up in the accessories store, but also made with your own hands.
When choosing this thing, consider the structure of the fur. The belt is only suitable for products made of thin soft fur (mink, rabbit, chinchilla): it will create nice folds. Thick lush (arctic fox, silver fox) or coarse fur (wolf) on a fur coat of a straight cut will look out of place and carelessly. There are also fur products with an inner belt, on the drawstring. Again, these are options from soft smooth fur.
Color
The color of the belt can be identical to the color of the fur coat. If this option seems boring to you, then choose a contrasting accessory. For example, a red leather belt will look extravagant with a black fur coat (it should overlap in color with some other detail (bag, gloves, shoes).
Types of belts
The classic version is a belt from the same fur as the fur coat itself, often it comes with it. You can choose a product of the same tone or contrasting color.The belt can be made from the fur of another animal (for example, a mink belt will fit a mouton or rabbit fur coat), which has a different texture from the main thing (a long-mink fur coat and a belt from the same short-haired fur).
The fur belt looks elegant, but even if it is very thin and smooth, it is difficult to create a stylish knot from it.
A knot made of fur is able to weight the product. Some furs are silky, and such a belt will be constantly untied. In this case, the solution is to use a secret fastener or hook. In addition, a fur accessory can wipe a fur coat in the waist area over time.
A long belt with a wide middle and narrow ends can be wrapped twice around the waist, and tie the ends in some interesting way.
The original solution is a leather belt. It will fit almost any fur coat, you just need to choose your model. By the method of fixation, the following types of belts are distinguished:
- Tied at the waist with a regular knot.
- Having an original fixation.
- A belt with a catchy buckle, decorated with large jewelry, an applique made of stones (looks good on a short-fur coat)
An option such as a belt on the hips should be worn with care. He is able to weight the figure, especially if decorated with decorative inserts, embroidery, rhinestones. The hip belt is only suitable for thin girls with long legs.
The latest fad is a wide leather belt or corset. This accessory is again only for slim ladies, it looks seductive and stylish on them, emphasizes the waist and lengthens the legs. To the plump ladies, he will visually add even more weight.
A natural fur coat with a silk belt with its noble sheen looks elegant and glamorous. Elegant and unusual, it is suitable only for thin fur (mink, rabbit). Such a detail can be tied into the most intricate knots that look great on satin fabric. The silk belt practically does not wipe the fur coat. In addition, it is easy to sew on its own.
How to choose a belt for a fur coat?
Choosing such an accessory as a belt for a fur coat, focus, first of all, on the style of clothing, especially the figure and, of course, on your own taste.
For a short fur coat, a thin or medium width (about 3 cm) belt is suitable. A wide one will give it a scanty look (especially if the model is with a hood). Corset belts look chic on long fur coats (subject to the appropriate figure).
For a long-haired fur coat, do not choose too decorated a belt: it will inevitably be lost among the long fur.
Not every fur endures a belt (for example, wolf). If ugly creases appear during fitting, the fur coat moves out - discard this accessory. For tall slender young ladies, there are no restrictions in choosing a belt. But women with curvaceous forms need to thoroughly approach the selection of this detail: an unsuccessful option will easily spoil the whole image.
Choosing a spectacular coat belt, think over in advance also a hat and shoes. The belt should be in harmony with them in color, texture or decor elements.
It is worth considering that a too tightly tied belt, regardless of its material, will soon wipe natural fur.
