Buying a mink coat is a serious step that requires appropriate preparation. In an unprepared fashionista head can go around the variety of styles and colors. In order to save yourself from the experiences about the correctness of the choice, it is necessary to have an idea about the cut options, styles of fur coats and the specifics of the colors of the mink fur.

When should you opt for a light-colored fur coat?

For exits "in the light" light shades of a fur coat will fit perfectly. Traditionally, for social events, ladies dress up in dark colors, so a white or cream-nut coat will stand out against the background.

For long regular walks in the open air or traveling in a car and on public transport, light furs are much less advantageous than dark ones: they have the most visible splashes and street dirt.

Long fur coats "to the floor" require a certain skill - the reason for this lies in the same exposure of light-colored fur to rapid pollution. Even if you really liked the elongated model, you should think thoroughly before deciding on such an acquisition - otherwise there is a risk of regular visits to dry cleaning, which also does not benefit the fur.

Styles and models

Drawing up a complete classification of the variations of the fur coats cut is an almost impossible mission. Experts suggest to allocate the following main types of models and styles:

Classic - A long straight coat suitable for ladies with a conservative taste.

Bathrobe - a comfortable fur coat with a smell and a belt, resembling in cut oriental clothes.

Shuba-klesh - a universal model that perfectly hides any figure flaws.

Cleopatra - a transforming fur coat with an internal lace from a waist to the middle of calf.

Year - strict top in combination with a very flared bottom, recommended for tall and slender women.

French - straight cut fur coat with a fluffy collar made of fox or sable fur.

Avtoledi - a coat of medium length with a slightly flared back.

Bat - shortened fur coat to the waist visually pulls the top of the silhouette and makes the figure more proportional.

Butterfly - short trapezoid fur coat with openwork decorated sleeves.

Jellyfish - one of the most original styles: equipped with a hood, volumetric coat with draped floors and sleeves.

Color and shades

The color of the fur coat, as a rule, depends on the habitat of the mink and its breed, as well as the specifics of the selection of skins and their manufacture. Among the light shades of mink fur are the following:

mocha and cappuccino - various shades of brown, coffee tones;
pastel - dozens of variations of beige, sapphire, topaz, the color of powder and palomino;
fawn - beige-pink shades;
gray pearls are a color that is increasingly called the “new black”;
snow-white - the most "capricious" and demanding fur.

A mink fur coat is not a cheap pleasure, but the time during which it will be actively worn is definitely worth it. As a rule, a well-made fur coat serves its owner for ten years or more.

Of course, buying a mink coat should be treated as a long-term investment in your own comfort and image - making a mistake in choosing is highly undesirable. It is especially important to choose the right mink coat of light shades, which are much more demanding as to accuracy when worn and stored.

How to choose by color type?

Light shades of mink fur always stand out among a variety of darker colors. It has long been known that light furs are suitable for both very young girls and mature ladies. They add femininity and sophistication first, while the latter in such a fur coat will visually become several years younger.

When choosing a light mink coat, stylists advise to focus on the type of appearance. Light-skinned girls with blue and light gray eyes are perfect fur with blue or silver tint.

Brunettes are traditionally “matched” by black coats close to that color, but the trend of recent years is exactly the opposite - the lady with dark hair appears more often in snow-white mink coats.

Representatives of the Slavic type of appearance, characterized by warm skin tones and light brown hair color, experts recommend fur with a pearl shimmer, as well as pastel, gray and light beige.

How to store?

Light mink fur coats are extremely rarely bought as casual wear - this is a luxurious component of the “weekend” look. Bad weather and bright sun, tobacco smoke and other negative factors are especially destructive for the light fur.

Experts recommend sticking to strict rules, the observance of which will allow even a snow-white fur coat to look luxurious and after many years:

Keep such a fur coat in a case made of special fabric, which, as a rule, comes bundled with the purchase;
eliminate prolonged exposure to fur in direct sunlight - otherwise the coat may turn yellow;
If the owner of a fur coat gets into it under rain or in snow, the fur coat should be gently but strongly shaken, hung on a hanger and placed as far as possible from heat sources in a room with good ventilation;
it is highly desirable to avoid contact with cosmetics and even perfume on the fur - they can remain oily yellowish stains;
if serious pollution has occurred, it is better to hand over the fur coat to dry cleaning immediately.
