Long fur coats
Long fur coats have always been considered a sign of wealth - they look luxurious. But, apart from the visual component, this is still the warmest wardrobe item. Therefore, in a fierce winter, you cannot do without a floor-length fur coat. And it will also come in handy for festive occasions to throw on evening and cocktail dresses.
What models are there?
The fur coat can be made from artificial fur or natural. If your values do not allow you to wear animal fur, then synthetic substitutes will become a worthy alternative in your wardrobe.
According to the type of raw materials, fur coats can be divided into the following groups:
- with long fur: wolf, sable, raccoon, arctic fox, goat and fox fur;
- with medium: mink, chinchilla, marten fur;
- with a short: astrakhan fur, sheepskin, rabbit, as well as various sheared options.
Recently, models have come into vogue in which several types of fur are combined, differing both in texture and in color. It is also possible to use dyed options - from the brightest to delicate colors.
Styles of long fur coats are limited, most often, by two main options: straight and wide model.
The product may have a hood or collar, narrow or wide sleeves. It is more practical when the wide sleeve is gathered at the wrist and fits snugly around it, this way better heat is retained.
The decor of a fur product is usually laconic, since a fur coat itself is a woman's decoration. The item may contain buttons, decorative fasteners, beautiful brooches and belts.
How to choose and what to wear?
When buying, pay special attention to the quality of the fur, its shine, uniformity and the way the product is sewn. A long fur coat made of pieces would not be the best solution, as it looks awkward.
If you have already decided to purchase the most expensive type of outerwear, then your choice in all respects must correspond: both externally and in quality.
To choose the appropriate option, you need to take into account your color type of appearance and features of the figure. Classic colors such as gray and beige will suit any color type.
As for the figure, we remember that the most cumbersome is a fur coat with a long pile on the floor. Only a woman of sufficiently tall stature can afford it. Models with short fur will decorate miniature women more.
It is better to choose the length that slightly opens the ankle. A graceful model of boots with a medium, steady heel will complement the look. It is best to choose a stole or hat as a headdress. They look elegant and always up-to-date, unlike fur hats.
It is not difficult to create a beautiful image with a long model of a fur coat - it is enough to choose accessories. What will be worn under the outerwear is not so important, because it is not visible. Therefore, we focus on the handbag, gloves, belt, headwear and shoes.
If this is a festive outing, then it would be appropriate to decorate the fur coat with a beautiful brooch.
Features of long fur coat care
The length of the product means that the bottom is most affected. Therefore, after each exit, the hem of the fur coat must be cleaned. To do this, it is preferable to have in your arsenal a special comb with two types of teeth.
It is undesirable to use a long fur coat in the car - the fur can crumple from frequent sitting and lose its uniformity and presentability. You also need to protect your pet from wet snow and dirt.
It is necessary to store the fur coat in a special separate case with air holes. They provide ventilation for the product. There should be enough space in the room so that the fur is not crushed by neighboring things. It is also undesirable for light to fall on the fur coat. This is especially harmful for light options, which can noticeably turn yellow from light.
Be sure to take care of the presence of moth repellent in the storage room or in the case itself. Most often, a bar of lavender-scented soap is sufficient.
The best solution for the care and storage of an expensive piece of valuable fur will be a special storage, which, for a fee, will professionally take care of your treasure in the summer.
There is nothing warmer and more luxurious than a long fur coat. A well-chosen product and careful care for it will allow you to use this type of outerwear for at least ten years.
