A bit of history

A fur coat is a gift from the French kings, which has survived with dignity to this day and still occupies an honorable place in the dressing rooms of modern young ladies. Originally, this loose outer garment was a robe, a sleeveless cape worn by members of the royal family and high officials. Then this elegant wardrobe detail was sewn from the skins of small forest animals with delicate fur: polar fox, fox or sable coats separately emphasized the status of their owners.

A cloak is a kind of precious stone among other fur products, therefore, expensive furs are often used to create it: ermine, chinchilla, silver fox or sable.

However, current technologies allow you to do whatever you want with fur, so in the new season models came out on the catwalks, proudly carrying a rabbit fur coat on their shoulders.

Today, designers are able to change the fur of this animal beyond recognition, so that sometimes a specialist cannot determine from which fur an outfit is made. Along with this, fashion designers also offer a cloak made of artificial fur, which in its properties is not inferior to the "original". So, at the height of fashion, artificial karakul, which outwardly is not at all worse than natural counterparts, but much more democratic in price.

Shortened version, which is not, in fact, outerwear, but plays the role of a stylish fashion accessory.

Cloak Cape, which gently "hugs" a woman by the shoulders, often, such a cloak is not removed even indoors.

Coat with a butterfly effect cut - elongated at the front and back, it retains heat perfectly.

Varieties

By fabrics

Coats also differ in the material from which they are made. Nowadays, not only models made entirely of fur are in fashion. In the new season, combined products are popular, which combine different types of furs, as well as fur with leather, fabric, cashmere, textiles and even knitted items.

By colors

As for the color scheme, designers have long ceased to limit fur lovers in this matter. For those who are faithful to the classics, coats of restrained shades are suitable - these are options from natural or artificial fur in muted tones: silver, black or brown, red.

Young ladies who like to be in the spotlight will love bright coats - for example, with zebra, tiger or leopard prints, and possibly daring multicolored ones - from dusty pink to rich shades of red or purple.

Another color option that stands apart is white coats. This is the choice of girls who know how to look perfect in any situation, as well as brides whose celebration is scheduled for the cold season. In this case, it is important to choose the right shade of fur in accordance with the color of the dress.

Do not forget that the fur can turn yellow, while the wedding dress will be boiling white. The simplest solution to this issue is to take a coat to try on a dress or vice versa. Then the acquisition will delight both in one of the main days in life, and after - in everyday use.

By appointment

In addition to its main function - to give warmth and delight the eye, the cloak has many purposes. This is a great option for those who want to drape flaws in their figure with chic fur or hide an interesting position, it is also an excellent outerwear for girls - both in case they need to accompany their parents at an important event, and for everyday wear. In the latter case, the choice of model should be approached more carefully.

Where to go in a fur coat?

However, a fur coat can be worn not only “on the occasion”. This detail of the wardrobe will successfully fit into the office dress code, provided that its owner does not forget the simple rule - in a business image, only one "rich touch" is allowed - it will become a coat.

It is important not to forget about the cut of the product - at work, a classic model will be appropriate, which will allow you to wear both a skirt and trousers in one ensemble.

Another option is just going out. Any celebration you go to in the evening will allow you to put on a coat and look appropriate at the same time. Here, in contrast to the case with a business style, chic fur will harmoniously coexist with catchy jewelry and a bright outfit.

What to wear with?

Despite its royal origin, the cloak is "friendly" with most of the modern woman's clothing items.

Short coat models will be good with business suits or a tight dress, while long options will decorate an evening dress, no matter what it will be: a floor-length dress, a trouser suit or even a jumpsuit.

For every day, stylists recommend a medium-length mantle with a hood - it fits perfectly into the casual style - fits any skirts, trousers and jeans, and, importantly, protects from the cold.

You can “hide” a shirt, a sweatshirt or a sweater under a coat, and notorious women of fashion are not afraid to even combine fur and a sporty style, putting on a coat with “plush” suits and sneakers.

Spectacular images

The most spectacular image, where the main role is played by the cloak, at all times was the image of the "Hollywood diva". A narrow sheath dress, high heels, impeccable hairstyle and evening make-up - all these elements, like an expensive frame, perfectly set off fur, tailored as in the days of kings.
