Faux fur coats

Every woman has a different dream fur coat, but until now, in most cases, when choosing a fur coat, ladies are guided not by its beauty, oddly enough, but by prestige, which means that they choose a standard fur coat from a fairly standard, albeit expensive, natural fur. There is no doubt that properly dressed natural fur is beautiful in itself, but, paradoxically, it does not always look good in a product, where it often loses its charm.

Meanwhile, the couturiers of world catwalks offer interesting collections of faux fur, which, not only can not every fashionista be able to immediately distinguish from natural, also stand out for their beauty and originality among the vast majority of mink or mouton fur coats, sewn according to the same pattern. Do we want to be in a fur coat or beautiful? It's good if both of these desires come true.

The styles of fur coats made from natural fur are limited by the material itself, since the canvas is made up of a fairly large number of skins, which, firstly, must be selected as suitable as possible to each other in order to create the effect of a single canvas. Secondly, the skins sewn together, sooner or later, may begin to stretch and tear at the seams.

Thirdly, styles of fur coats other than straight cut often have a higher cost, because too much excellent fur will go to waste. The same can be said about cross-section fur coats.Faux fur is initially a whole canvas, which means that you can tailor anything from it: a fur coat with a raglan sleeve or a bat, oversized or strictly on the figure, straight or with a pleated skirt - the main thing is that it suits you and you like it ...

It is no secret that a fur coat made of natural fur loses its appearance very quickly with improper care. It must not be exposed to rain or sleet. It is not worth hanging such a thing in a closet overflowing with things (this, in principle, is not useful for any things, but especially for fur products, because the crumpled fur will be extremely difficult to put in order later).

Of course, you also need to take care of artificial fur, but this care is much easier - a fur coat from it can be washed and even wrung out (depending on the type of artificial fur), it dries much easier and faster, it can be cleaned with improvised means in case of contamination.

If you are not already too careless about this type of outerwear, then durability can be considered as a disadvantage, because, with proper care, your fur coat, as they say, "will not be demolished."

Considering the price, you can afford to buy a wide variety of faux fur coats much more often than natural ones, unless, of course, this is an exclusive option from the world couturier. However, then this price will include several fur coats made from natural fur of an average fur factory.

Unfortunately, not all ladies who want and have the opportunity to buy a fur coat made of natural fur will be able to wear it, since allergic reactions to wool and animal fur, as a rule, do not want to reckon with our desires and even financial capabilities. With a faux fur coat, such a problem simply cannot arise.

There is a lot to argue on this topic, however, if you do not live in areas with extremely low temperatures, where there is simply no place for such disputes, then the issue of animal protection can be a decisive argument in favor of buying a beautiful stylish faux fur coat. A beautiful new thing and a clear conscience is a great combination.

Faux fur is one of the most rewarding materials for the most creative models and styles of products that can be realized with its help:

• A short sheepskin coat is an option especially appreciated by an auto lady. They can be straight or fitted. The latest models from fashion houses, imitating a dress, with a cut-off flared skirt look especially impressive. A mini-dress and high-heeled stiletto heels are ideal for such a fur coat.
• Coat-fur coat of medium length, straight cut. Fur coats with short or long hair, up to or just below the knee, look great on almost any woman, thin woman or lady in the body. In addition, a wide variety of shoes, with high or low heels, high boots or short ankle boots, on a platform or on a flat sole, are perfectly combined with a fur coat of this style.
• A cross-section fur coat imitating a product made of natural fur with a horizontal cut. Of course, such a “chinchilla” coat should be chosen with caution by overweight women, so as not to increase the existing excess volume.
• Fur coat with a hood. An indispensable option for those who do not like to wear hats or take care of their hair. A hood draped over your head will protect you from the piercing weather or wind and will add a touch of romantic flair to your look.
• A fur coat with sleeves made of a different material, such as knitwear or leatherette. Options in which several types of fabrics are successfully combined always look very stylish.
• Trendy short, long and medium length sleeveless fur coats. Such coats, worn over light coats, look especially impressive.
• A fur coat sewn from pieces. Not a very common option.

It is difficult to list all the styles of such fur coats, since they depend only on the height of the fur (you must admit that with high and fluffy fur it becomes unimportant, the fur coat is tightly fitted or not) and the designer's fantasies.

This parameter also varies depending on your desire. You can purchase both a short fur jacket, for example, up to the waist, and a long fur coat to the floor.

It is sometimes difficult for full ladies to choose outerwear made of natural fur - after all, a large-sized product will weigh a lot, not to mention its price and the additional volume attached. If a woman has a non-standard large size, then it is only possible to make a fur coat to order, and her style, too, can not always decorate its owner. A fur coat made of faux fur easily solves such problems, since a woman can choose for herself the style and color that suits her.

Artificial fur can be unlike any natural one, or it can imitate most natural furs to a high degree: astrakhan fur, llama, lynx, chinchilla, silver fox, with long or short hair.

Depending on the production technology, artificial fur can be divided into several types:

• Knitted - tufts of pile are tied into the loops of the knitted fabric or long loops are created, which are then cut, forming, in fact, the pile, which is fixed with a special coating.
• Woven - it is formed by joining three threads (warp, weft, pile), as a result of which two canvases are formed, connected by one pile. They are separated by cutting the pile.
• Tufted - the main fabric is stitched with a pile thread on a tufting machine, then the pile is cut, leveled, and combed.
• Glue - the pile thread is simply glued to the main fabric.

For the pile, both synthetic fibers (nylon, lavsan) and natural (wool) are used. In order to imitate natural fur as much as possible, artificial pile is shrunk and heat-treated, as a result of which the pile becomes heterogeneous and looks like natural awn and underfur.

There are also several types of staining:

• stencil;
• airbrushing;
• layer by layer.

There are no artificial fur equal in color range even among dyed natural furs:

• Classic white and black.
• No less traditional brown and gray.
• Showy red and pink.
• Extravagant blue and green.
• Original variegated.

Prints can also satisfy the most sophisticated tastes and requests:

• Natural - leopard, lynx, chinchilla.
• Geometric - multi-colored or monochromatic spots or stripes.
• Floristic - cut or woven on the canvas.

The price of a faux fur coat depends on the popularity of the brand, the style of the product, its size and the place of purchase. You can buy a short sheepskin coat made from pieces of faux fur in one of the online stores for 2500 rubles and a fur coat from Stella McCartney, who has long specialized in products made from such material, which will cost you several thousand dollars.

A very great advantage of artificial fur is that products made from it can generally be washed by hand or even in an automatic machine by choosing a delicate wash mode and a gentle washing powder. You can also use a drum spin and be sure that after washing such a thing does not deform and does not shrink. The fur coat should be dried flat, at room temperature, however, avoiding the proximity of heating devices, and, from time to time, shaking. After drying, it is recommended to comb the fur with a brush or comb in the direction of the pile. Sometimes a white fur coat can simply turn yellow, in this case, it will also be enough to just wash it.

Reviews of faux fur coats are mainly divided into three types:

• Those for whom the fact of having a natural fur coat as a status item is important.Ladies from this category simply do not consider the very possibility of purchasing a faux fur coat, no matter what advantages it has. Accordingly, reviews of such products are extremely negative, despite the fact that they may have never been worn.
• Those for whom design is in the first place, and this category of women, more often than not, already has or had things made of natural fur. These reviews are extremely diverse and emphasize the originality of the styles and colors of the selected fur coats. Those reviews, which are negative, mainly relate to the quality of the product itself and the small range of low temperatures at which it will not be cold in such a coat.
• A special category of women who do not accept wearing natural fur coats, like other things made from natural materials, for ethical reasons. Their reviews also relate to the quality of the product as such, as well as models and styles.

A faux fur coat, like any other wardrobe item, is important to "submit" correctly:

• A short fur coat with short or medium pile will go well with skirts or trousers, narrow or wide.
• Leggings "under the skin" and a T-shirt are perfect for a fur coat with a long pile to the middle of the thigh, and if you prefer a feminine style, then wear a flowing dress and high-heeled ankle boots.
• An oversized fur coat is best worn with tight-fitting items such as skinny jeans to create a harmonious look.
• Fur coats with prints "under the leopard", "under the zebra", "under the chinchilla" imply self-sufficiency, so all other things can only be a background. At the same time, accessories must comply with the rule "one leopard is good, two is a lot" and not repeat the print of a fur coat.
• A long fur coat with a hood, naturally, will look better on a tall girl, and a short or medium length is more suitable for a short girl.
• When choosing a hat, and it can be a knitted hat, scarf or hat, pay attention to the fact that its color should be in harmony with the fur coat.
