Mink coats
Mink coats with a hood
What woman does not dream of a luxurious mink coat shining in the sun? From the variety of models and styles presented on the windows of boutiques and store shelves, it is not difficult for an untrained fashionista to get confused. After all, you always want to find exactly the thing that perfectly matches the idea of a luxurious outfit.
But in pursuit of refinement and refinement of the silhouette, one should not forget that a mink coat is an adornment for a winter wardrobe, therefore, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, it should give warmth and comfort. Mink coats with a hood can easily cope with this task. The correct deep hood acts as an elegant replacement for a hat, protecting from icy wind and snowfall, and in calm weather it is worn like a collar that adorns a fur coat from the back.
Models
The classic model of a mink coat with a hood is the so-called robe coat. Her simple and elegant cut is sure to suit both a conservative lady who is not prone to excessive kitsch and a girl who wants to look elegant and stylish.
The trapezoidal cut makes the mink coat the perfect complement to the look of any lady, even if it has impressive proportions. The “butterfly” style allows each donut to appear slimmer and taller thanks to fluffy voluminous collars and boas, as well as an abundance of decorative details that organically complement the fur ensemble.
For slim and tall girls, there is nothing better than the bat style, where the extended shoulder line is combined with massive, wing-like sleeves or models called "Chanel".The latter version is distinguished by a shortened length and a slightly flared silhouette at the bottom and an overall laconic finish in the best traditions of Mademoiselle Coco.
Those who look after a fur coat not for protection from frost, but in order to emphasize the exclusivity and luxury of their image, will certainly appreciate French fur coats. However, a stylish fur belt will not allow the wind to disturb the mistress of such a shortened fur coat once again, and an elegant hood will easily replace a hat that does not fit into such a look.
Supporters of a less pretentious cut will certainly be interested in a mink coat of the “year” style. This style does not imply an abundance of cutouts, inserts and unnecessary trimmings, its "trick" lies in the minimalistic simplicity that advantageously reveals the natural beauty of fur.
For greater lightness and airiness, you should take a closer look at the fur coats sewn according to the patterns of the skirts. The balloon fur coat is devoid of cuts on the hem, the bottom of such a fur coat is narrowed, which allows even shortened models to provide warmth. An even more compact version of the mini-fur coat was called "autolady".
In a fur coat that slightly covers the hips, with sleeves that do not interfere with driving comfortably, any girl will become the queen of the road.
The most "advanced" women of fashion choose a model of a fur coat called a transformer. A unique feature of such a fur coat is that all its constituent elements can be unfastened, if necessary, turning a classic mink coat “on the floor” into an exquisite sheepskin coat or even a fur vest in which you can walk indoors.
Another example of a non-standard approach to the design of a mink coat was the use of combined fur - as a rule, sleeves or a hood act as an element sewn from contrasting fur.
Short mink fur only benefits from a combination with more lush options - sable, silver fox or lynx will sparkle with fresh colors, and a hood made of fox fur or marten skins will be a bright completion of any look.
Fur types
Mink fur is divided into types according to the origin of the mink itself. There are four types of minks:
- North American - thick fur with a velvety texture;
- scandinavian - the most common type today with fur of medium length and density;
- Finnish - a more frost-resistant variety of Scandinavian mink, which was bred in northern Europe;
- Russian, she is Siberian - the species originates from wild North American minks, the fur is not afraid of moisture, it is warmer and fluffier than the above options.
With the development of technology, mink fur has learned to give the structure of bakhrat and even corduroy. This is achieved by properly trimming and treating the fur. If such manipulations are performed using a laser, various three-dimensional patterns can be applied to the mink fur.
Cut features
The classic cut for a mink coat is the one made of solid plates. As a rule, we are talking about the fur from the back of the mink. Large patches of fur are sewn together to form a luxurious coat shimmering in the sun.
The cross cut is very popular among connoisseurs of mink fur coats. When creating such a coat, fur plates are laid out horizontally, which significantly affects the appearance of the finished product. The cross-section fur coat will suit tall and slender ladies.
More difficult from a technological point of view is the cut "in dissolution". Before sewing, the mink skins are cut into narrow strips, after which they are sewn using vertical displacement. As a result, each skin becomes narrower and more elongated. Such coats are ideal for ladies with magnificent forms, in them they can emphasize all the undoubted advantages of their figure, and the fur coat will delicately hide everything unnecessary and make the silhouette slimmer.
Whatever the cut of the mink coat with a hood, the designers provide for the option of quickly and gracefully changing its style.To do this, a so-called drawstring is sewn into the fur coat - a lace invisible from the front side of the product, tightening which, you can easily emphasize the line of the hips or waist.
Length
The length of the mink coat should be chosen based on clothing preferences. If a lady cannot imagine going out without a long dress "to the floor" or an elegant skirt below the knee, a maxi fur coat will be the best option.
For women who cannot live a day without a car, medium-length fur coats will be most comfortable. The midi format looks great and does not get dirty when getting into the car.
Those who prefer trouser suits or democratic jeans will be most comfortable in cropped models. Such mini-coats, of course, will not save you from the cold, but they will look bold and fresh.
Fashion trends
In the new season, rather strict requirements are imposed on mink fur coats with a hood. The presence of a hood saves the sleeves of fur coats from decorative excesses - cuffs. Also, the cuffs temporarily go to the mezzanine.
The fresh trend is minimalism. In the case of fur coats, this means laconic straight sleeves. However, this does not mean that you should abandon the usual parts like a belt or a belt - these accessories are still in demand and are recommended.
The bright and acidic shades that designers experimented with in the recent past are no longer relevant. Natural shades of fur will be the best choice. For supporters of radical solutions, the couturier has in store models with animalistic prints - it is easy to feel like Marlene Dietrich in a leopard-like fur coat.
Colour
The style and relevance of a mink coat is determined not only by the style and cut of the product, but also by the color range in which it is sustained. It is on the color that attention is paid first of all. And only then follows a detailed study of all the subtleties and details of the model. We can safely say that the first (and therefore, the most important) impression of a mink coat makes exactly its color.
As a rule, the color depends on the region in which the fur was obtained, on the degree of its rarity, as well as on the specific features of the selection and dressing of skins.
It is important to understand that there are no unpopular colors for fur coats - each shade has its own fans, each color scheme brings its own special charm, emphasizing the various advantages of both the fur coat and its owner. For example, light colors allow you to look at the nobility of fur and all the details of the structure with a fresh look, while natural black literally radiates respectability and luxury.
Choosing a fur coat in black or graphite shades, you should give preference to real works of design art. The sophisticated and non-standard styles of Blackglama fur coats, also called the color of oil, will become a true jewel of any wardrobe.
Mahogany, named after South American mahogany, is considered no less classic than a rich black or graphite shade. This extremely rich tone combines burgundy and brown palettes. In addition, natural mahogany is significantly warmer than other types of fur, which makes it an excellent choice for long frosty winters.
For supporters of a softer walnut color, three subspecies of shades are recommended: hot chocolate (it has a Finnish mink fur), a demi-buff walnut (medium intensity, inherent in a Scandinavian brown mink) and a rare walnut-marbled fur, in which light brown tones have a chocolate sheen ...
Also popular are "coffee" colors - cappuccino and mocha.
Exquisite fur coats are often sewn from fur of a "coffee" shade, because the softness of the gradient transitions of the color of these furs from golden to pale brown always looks very advantageous and rich.
Lovers of topaz and sapphires will love the pastel mink coat.Fortunately, the range of color solutions in this segment is presented with dignity: from a sparkling shade of champagne spray to much darker cocoa and palominoes. Also in this category can be attributed to the neutral beige-peach range, which is used in classic models of mink coats, and in avant-garde styles.
For bright, self-confident women, a blue mink coat will go. Depending on the shade, blue fur is subdivided into sapphire, topaz, pearl, silver-blue and violet.
Blue mink fur is highly durable, but the light color gets dirty easily, you should wear such a coat carefully.
A natural pearl shade of gray fur is considered a great rarity. Other shades of gray are much more common: this is a white undertone, and a bluish tint, and graphite. Lighter shades have now practically replaced the classic white fur - they are much more practical and look just as bright.
What to wear with?
There are many answers to the question "what to wear with a fur coat with a hood". If you put them all together, you get something in the spirit of "with anything but a hat." Indeed, the hood does not need an additional headgear. The only exception may be, perhaps, only a light silk scarf.
A mink coat is a winter wardrobe item, so you shouldn't forget about the blinding sun reflecting off the surfaces covered with snow. Elegant sunglasses will suit any look based on a mink fur coat. You also need to take care of the warmth and comfort for your hands - shiny Lycra gloves will become a universal option.
The choice of footwear should be determined by the length and style of the fur coat. Short mini-fur coats go well with boots with heels and lacing, with suede shoes or ugg boots. Longer fur coats (midi and “to the floor”) look elegant with high-heeled patent knee-length shoes.
When choosing a bag for a mink coat with a hood, you need to understand that this accessory should look harmoniously not only with fur, but also with shoes that will complement the look. Bag-like bags or colorful models are unlikely to be an adornment of a luxurious outfit.
Preference should be given to small handbags, and in the case of transforming fur coats or short sheepskin coats, a clutch will become an indispensable addition to the final picture.
Beautiful images
An elegant midi-length fur coat is distinguished by an unusual ashy shade. A comfortable, spacious hood wraps around the head without hiding the luxurious hair, the color that sets the tone for a light belt and aggressive leather boots. Determined, cocky image of a confident lady.
A long, almost half-length mink coat in a natural brown shade emphasizes the velvet skin, beautifully harmonizing with the model's hair color. A simple flared silhouette does not distract attention from the luxurious texture of the fur, and the length of the fur coat warms up its owner.
The black fur coat with a hood made of combined fur is the embodiment of modern fashion trends. Waves of luxurious hair escaping from under the hood flow effectively over the fur coat. The color of the lynx hide used to create the hood contrasts sharply with the anthracite-black fur of the mink, giving originality to the image and favorably setting off the tanned skin of the girl's face.
