The fur coat is not a cheap pleasure, but there is hardly at least one girl who refuses a stylish and such elegant thing. Nowadays, the range of models of fur is so wide that it is sometimes extremely difficult to choose one of the options.
What to do if the budget does not provide for the purchase of a fur vest and a full-sized fur coat, but I really want to get hold of them in the wardrobe?
From this seemingly stalemate there is a simple and elegant way out - to get a transformer fur coat.
What is a transforming fur coat?
It is difficult to imagine a more practical, functional and universal model of a fur coat than a transformer. Being a work of design art, such a thing is a designer, with the help of which a happy customer gets two or even three luxurious things for the price of one.
It is appropriate to recall a classic quote from a favorite movie: “With a light movement of the hand, the pants turn into light elegant shorts.” But in order to avoid unpleasant "technical hitches", you need to take a responsible approach to the choice of both the manufacturer of the transformer fur coat and its model.
The difference between a transformer and ordinary fur coats is obvious and embedded in the name itself: its various component parts are attached to the base of the product with zippers, allowing you to radically change the style of clothing in seconds.
In various variations of transformer fur coats, both sleeves or a hem, and a hood or collar can be unfastened.
Advantages and disadvantages
- The undoubted advantage of transforming coats over ordinary ones is the variety of styles, which allows them to appear in different images using the same item of clothing. This is not only a purely aesthetic variety, but also a very practical find - various modifications of a fur coat can be worn in early autumn and finished at the end of spring.
However, light fur vests are sometimes appropriate on cool summer evenings, which makes the transforming fur coat, in fact, a multi-season item.
- The obvious weak point of such models will be the presence of moving elements-clasps. Lightning in combination with fur when carelessly used can be a problem for girls who do not immediately get used to ensure that the hairs and fabric from the inside of the part do not fall between the components of the castle. Too sharp movement when unfastening threatens to visit the fur coats in the studio.
- It is also important to understand that the technology of creating transformer coats is more complex than “monolithic” counterparts — in addition to joining fur plates together, they need to take into account the places where removable fragments of the product will be attached in order to observe both vertical and horizontal symmetry . This, in turn, directly affects the cost of the coat-designer, which in comparison with conventional models by default will be slightly higher. Therefore, if a transformer is purchased without a sight for use in different images, implying assembly and disassembly of its individual segments, one should think about the advisability of overpayment for irrelevant "options".
However, the cost of a transforming fur coat can be significantly lower - after all, the peculiarities of the concept of such a designer allow the designer's imagination to be the most daring and unusual experiments.Recently, the so-called fur coats, in which the central part of the product is sewn of exquisite fur, and detachable sleeves (and sometimes the hem) - of bolonyv or textile materials with downy filling, are gaining more and more popularity.
Styles
For quite understandable reasons, the variety of styles of transformer fur coats is amazing. Considering that in some models not one element is detached, but two or even three at once, it is rather difficult to speak about any strict classification.
To list the options and combinations available on the basis of one coat only, fingers on your hand may not be enough:
- extended model "to the floor";
- cropped hem;
- motor vehicles;
- vest with a hood;
- sleeves to the elbow.
The following observation is also important: not only the noble furs of mink, sable, arctic fox and silver fox fits into the concept of transformer coats, but also less “pretentious” and youth options - rabbit, raccoon or eco-mink and other types of artificial fur.
Also the key role in some models of such fur coats is played by decorative inserts made of leather, suede and other materials, which add originality to the product.
Designers recognize the so-called cross-over as the most advantageous cut for fur coats-transformer.
Fur skins with such a cut are laid out horizontally. In the case of a transformer, this allows you to make the joints and attachments of removable fur coat elements invisible to the eye, since they pass along the border of the fur plates.
In some coats, it is possible to shorten the elements not by one “division”, but by several at once - for example, the sleeves can be three-quarters transformed into a piece by the elbow, but can be completely dismantled, transforming the fur coat into a fur vest.
Fur coats with a detachable hem are called a real find by a woman who is used to driving a car by herself. In fur coats “on the floor” or simply of an elongated style, it is rather uncomfortable to sit behind the wheel - the opportunity comes to shorten the hem, which at the end of a long trip can be returned to its rightful place.
If the cut of the transformer coats does not provide for a hood, then you should pay attention to the stand-up collar. This classic solution will provide protection of the neck from the piercing wind, at the same time visually extending the silhouette. The last feature of the stand-up collar will surely appeal to miniature girls.
The popularity of this type of sheepskin, like a muton, led to the fact that muton inserts began to appear more and more often on transformer coats. For example, the central part of a fur coat sewn from the fur of a fox with a silver fox with detachable sleeves from a muton looks very stylish and contrasting. If necessary, they are dismantled, turning a warm fur coat into the most luxurious waistcoat during the most frosty winters.
Among all the varieties of transformer coats, there are separate options at the junction of two competing types of clothing - coats and down jackets. In the case of the design model, these two items of the winter wardrobe perfectly complement each other, combining the best qualities of both options: the warmth and convenience of the down jacket with the luxury and glamor of a fur coat.
Reviews
In spite of their unusual concept, transforming fur coats pretty quickly appealed to modern fashionistas around the world. Most owners of such models note their versatility and relevance in different seasons - for example, some women prefer not to part with fur vests even in summer.
All owners of transformer coats agree that the choice of a suitable model should be approached even more responsibly than when buying a regular fur coat. In addition to the quality of the fur and the cut, it is necessary to make sure that all the zippers are intact, that there should not be the slightest difficulty when zipping.
Some romantic-minded reviewers tend to draw parallels between the limitless possibilities of transforming such coats and the inconstancy and frivolity of the real woman’s nature. However, if we put aside the poetry, the bottom line is the extremely practical concept of outerwear, designed for any season.
Stylish images
A bold fur coat-vest that combines the nobleness of the fox's silverfoot fur and the reserved luxury of natural leather, from which not only removable sleeves are made, but also vertical inserts on the sides of the vest. A spacious hood does not create a feeling of bulkiness - it literally flows over the girl's head, making a favorable emphasis on the light shade of hair. Wearing black leggings, this transforming vest looks great with or without leather sleeves.
The fitted mink coat is transverse with a secret: the sleeves and the hem of this model are easily shortened, making it possible to make an elongated fur coat, in which any cold is not terrible, into a light-season outfit. An elegant hood eliminates the need to choose a headdress for luxurious fur, so that the only addition to the already spectacular image will be elegant black shoes, emphasizing the slimness of the legs and tall girls.
Youth model of a transformer down jacket with a very unusual color scheme of the fur part of the fur coat. At the same time, it resembles camouflage colors in military style and the spotty colors of exotic animals. The same parts that are not sewn from fur are easily dismantled, leaving the choice: whether to wear a hooded down jacket or replace it with a spectacular hat.
