Short mink coat

Of all the variety of mink coats, many women of fashion prefer shortened models.

First, short fur coats can be worn much earlier than the “floor” models, which are relevant only with the onset of cold weather. Secondly, the style, which leaves her legs uncovered, allows you to experiment, creating completely different images - from classics with evening dress and ending with provocative outfits in the most advanced trends of street fashion. Thirdly, the tailoring of a shortened fur coat is much less than mink fur, which most positively influences the cost of this luxurious piece of women's wardrobe.

A cropped cut suggests that the fur coat will barely cover the knees. Models of mini format, reaching only hips and waist, are becoming more common. The straight cut of such a fur coat is called the “robe” - it is also freely worn and often assumes the presence of a fur belt or a stylish leather strap.

Deservedly popular among modern fashionistas and models of mink coats with a hood. Apart from the fact that the hood looks great and emphasizes the contour of the face, it also, if necessary, acts as an alternative to an independent headdress.

One of the latest trends set by designers is mink coat with a hem that resembles its tulip cut, as well as the “balloon” model. These two options have a short shelf on the hem - as opposed to the classical even bottom.

Another no less interesting trend of the cold season 2015-2016 is the hem of mink fur coats called “tulip” or “balloon” models. These are short coats with the presence of short shelves. Young women of fashion and elegant ladies may prefer this style of mink coat.

The specialized type of shortened fur coats, known as "avtoledi." These coats are sewn for women who have no idea of ​​the day without getting behind the wheel of a car.

Perhaps the most stable trend of recent years can be called a sheared mink. Of course, it is not the finished product that is being cut, but the skins themselves, from which a fur coat is subsequently sewn. Such processing allows you to give the fur a soft and flowing look, helping to get rid of excess volume and changing the basic fur structure. Depending on the technology, the haircut can be uniform, curly, under the root or laser.

Uniform haircut is also called uniform - fur over the entire surface of the skin is cut to the same height. Figure processing gives curious textures resembling velvet or velor.

Mink fur trimmed “under zero” is classified as plucked, and laser processing — the most complex and high-tech way out of all listed — allows you to apply lace-like patterns on the fur.

A variety of shades of mink fur makes color classification rather complicated and conditional. However, the primary colors can be specified as follows:

• White mink (North American or Finnish mink, characterized by snow-white fur, a subtle cream shade is allowed);
• Violet (a very rare subspecies of blue mink, whose fur has a cold gray-blue color);
• Golden Mink (artificially lightened fur of darker colors);
• Mink Iris (obtained from the skins of Aleutian mink silver-steel rock);

• Mink "Chipped ice" (bleached to white with a beige tint fur);
• Brown mink (the most common shade, in Russia received the name STK - standard dark brown);
• Cross mink (breed of mink bred by breeders whose skins are decorated with dark crossing stripes);
• Mink Mahogon (the warmest variation of brown fur, obtained by crossing the mink with the fur of dark colors);

• Mink Walnut (the calmest of the natural colors of mink fur);
• Norka Palomino (champagne-colored fur);
• Mink Pastel (brown fur with bluish underfur);
• Mink Sapphire (one of the classic blue mink colors);

• Mink Skanglow (a special kind of walnut fur saturated light brown shade);
• Black mink (“black diamond” and “oil color” - these informal names are quite eloquent);
• Mink Jaguar (a special breed of mink, famous for the unusual color of fur - white with black spots).

Short mink coats look very interesting if they are sewn not from one type of fur, but from several. For example, a mink coat with a hood made from the fur of sable, arctic fox or silver fox does not have a single chance to go unnoticed. If the hood style is not provided, then the fur coat sleeves are finished with the “second” fur.

Also, quite often there are models of fur coats with leather inserts. They can be both longitudinal and transverse. With their help, an elegant emphasis is placed on the waist of the owner of a fur coat - the waist narrowed in the manner of a corset perfectly matches the leather belt, which makes it visually slimmer. In addition to purely aesthetic advantages, leather inserts are of practical use - the designers insert them into the places on the fur coat that are most often wiped off. A nice bonus of such a fur coat will be the fact that the price for it will be obviously lower than that of a similar-looking model sewn entirely from mink.

The main advice, from which all fur experts begin, is to protect themselves against the purchase of a fake mink. Dirty on hand merchants working on the trade collapses and markets, can easily pass off as a mink rabbit or marmot fur. It is important to understand that the real mink glitters and shimmers, the villi of its fur do not stick together.

Even if you look after a mink coat in a proven shop or boutique, you should pay attention to the quality of the seams, the absence of any seals or lumps. If the fur looks somewhat dull or worn, it is better to refrain from buying this particular coat - it is possible that during its storage and transportation not all the necessary requirements and conditions were observed.

It is possible to check the quality of work in a very simple way: it is enough to take a bundle of fur with two fingers and gently pull it up, gently swaying. If you are dealing with properly processed and stitched fur, all the hairs will remain in place.

To go for a fur coat, it’s best to take along a loved one who can look at you in a fur coat from the side and make a verdict: is this model going or should you look for another. The opinion of the consultants in the store should also be taken into account, remembering that the main task remains the sale of goods. It is better to err and make a decision about an expensive purchase with a friend.

Russian fur factories located in Pyatigorsk and Moscow offer quality products at prices ranging from 30-40 thousand rubles. The works of Italian, Greek and Scandinavian masters will cost at least 80 thousand.Fur coats from overseas are not inferior in quality to Russian counterparts, but the price for them starts from 70 thousand rubles, which is largely due to the cost of shipping from the US, included in the cost of a fur coat.

Masterpieces from the collections of designers and fashion houses with a world name for obvious reasons will be worth a completely different money - you can safely add another zero to the price of the simplest fur coat. However, sales of branded items often happen, with which you can “grab” an elite mink coat with an impressive discount.

A short mink coat looks good with both affordable jeans and dresses of all kinds of styles - from laconic sheath-dresses and long evening models to short options that are comfortable for driving. Also, these coats are successfully combined with leather skirts and some models of designer shorts.

If a mink fur coat is put on over the dress, then it will visually be associated with an expensive fur coat, with elegant carelessness thrown over the shoulders.

The shortened fur coat will not protect the legs from the piercing wind, so you need to take care of this additionally, choosing pants or jeans that match the weather conditions.

Stylish and spectacular pants will look best with voluminous mink fur coats, which, however, does not negate their relevance and in combination with a fur coat of classic transverse cut.

Depending on the style and color of the mink fur coat, both classic denim jeans and a completely informal model with conceptual wipes and an artificially aged texture can be worn with it. In the case of shoes, the choice of a suitable pair also depends on the “temperature overboard”: it is hardly worth putting on sneakers or ballet shoes when it is snowing or slush on the street. If the weather allows, you can add to the image of both classic and sports shoes.

Choosing a headdress that will crown an image built on a shortened mink fur coat, one should remember that busting is not the best option. It is not necessary to “finish off” the outfit with a hat made of fur of the same color and texture as the fur coat. If you want to put on a fur hat, you can choose the fur of another animal: not the mink, but sable, marten, or the silver fox.

In general, mink coats look quite harmoniously in combination with felt hats and knitted hats of factory knitting. All sorts of shawls and scarves-snudy will also be appropriate. The main thing is not to be mistaken in the color scheme - professional stylists or an internal female scent can help.

A stylish short fur coat with a pronounced collar is perfectly combined with classic jeans, which emphasize the length of the legs, and light black shoes, which make it possible to evaluate the well-groomed nails and bright red varnish. The fur coat does not need a belt or a belt to make a neat accent on the waist, and an unusual solution with outward ties at the cuffs clearly echoes the trend for the same ribbons in the parks.

Strict, in some ways even a pastoral skirt with a cream-colored petticoat gracefully contrasts with a dark mink coat. Black patent leather shoes complement the image of a strict, but attractive teacher, who seemed to have accidentally forgotten the case for glasses in a convenient pocket, located to the left above the decollete.

A cropped cross coat, cropped trousers of a rich color with a fine pattern, cropped sleeves - the image is fully sustained. Leather gloves are matched to the color of the pants, and the original high-laced shoes, which leave most of the foot uncovered, seem to defy the weather and everyone around them.
