Fashionable knitted mink coat
What is knitted mink
Preparing for the winter season, many of the fair sex decide to treat themselves to a mink coat. Back in the late eighties of the last century, Paula Lishman, a well-known Canadian designer, introduced the public to a completely new fantasy on the theme of fur fabric, which was distinguished by a special technique of weaving cut thin strips of material on a special base mesh. With this method of binding, the fur is located both outside and inside the product, which gives the owner of such clothes a pleasant feeling when worn. In addition, knitted mink is a wear-resistant material.
Advantages
Fur coats knitted from mink fur have a number of advantages over other fur products:
• many women note that due to short and soft villi such fur looks more beautiful than usual. In addition, modern manufacturers have developed a variety of knitting techniques that allow you to create truly original patterns;
• for the majority of young girls, the version of the classic mink coat is not attractive enough: such an outfit “ages” the owner.From this point of view, knitted fur products win because they look modern and stylish, in addition, they have many color options;
• unlike smooth mink products, a knitted fur coat is less demanding for care: due to the heterogeneous structure of the knitted fur fabric, it is not so much subject to deformation;
• with proper care, a thing made of knitted fur does not lose its visual appeal for a long time. And if unpleasant stains appear, you should contact a dry cleaner, where they will quickly clean it with modern means;
• Of course, the creation of such products takes more time than ordinary tailoring. However, there is a definite plus: since most often fur coats are made from scraps of fur fabric, their cost is lower.
Popular styles and models
• Direct
This year, retro style is back at the peak of popularity. On the catwalks, designers offered various versions of mink coats, stylized in the fashion of the last century. Straight fur coats became the personification of this style. They are usually sewn without a hood and are the most classic version of the product.
• Flared
The flared style of the mink coat is popular at all times. It perfectly emphasizes the chiseled figure. Such a fur coat gives the owner some special elegance and femininity. In addition, this purchase will be a good investment - a flared fur coat will not lose its relevance even after decades.
• Cylinder
Do not be afraid of the name of the fur coat "balloon", as this is just a convention. In fact, this style is suitable for all body types and is very popular. Such a fur coat is distinguished by a voluminous hem, which tapers towards the bottom, like a bell skirt.Sleeves support this effect. They try to make the length to the knees, so this style hides figure flaws in the hips, focusing on the waist.
The advantage of the “balloon” fur coat is that the narrowed hem prevents the penetration of winter cold air inside.
• Hooded
Many fur coats are equipped with such a useful detail as a hood. Such models are especially relevant for Russian cold weather: it can replace a hat. In addition to the practical function, the hood also performs a decorative function, adding charm to the product.
Length
Variants of long fur coats were widely presented this season on the fashion stage. Especially this length of the product is loved by Russian designers. A knitted mink coat to the ankle will keep the whole body warm, while not pressing its weight on the owner. The presence of a hood or wide collar makes this piece of clothing look like a coat. Mostly long fur coats are worn with a belt to emphasize the waist.
• With flounces
Manufacturers also offer completely non-standard solutions for brave girls - a mink coat with flounces. They add shine to the product, which a knitted fabric may lack, and also give things additional dynamics when moving.
• Color solutions
An absolutely classic option is a fur coat in black or dark brown. Recently, fashionistas have appreciated options with medium-sized transverse stripes of a different color. White or milky colors also remain relevant.
For lovers of non-standard solutions, bright mink knitted coats dyed with hypoallergenic paint are on the market. Such things are pleasing in appearance, and not dangerous to health. It is better to combine them with a discreet dark bottom.
Special fashionistas can be recommended to look for a mink coat made of colored shreds of fur. In such a kind of "patchwork" you definitely will not be left without attention, the main thing is not to overdo it.
What to wear
• Clothing
First of all, when deciding what to wear with a mink coat, it is necessary to build on its length. Skinny jeans or dress pants are ideal to pair with a short cut. A knee-length fur coat involves wearing a short skirt or tight trousers. For a long knitted model, try to choose a comfortable skirt.
• Shoes
When choosing shoes, bet on their comfort and compatibility with the style of the fur coat. Under a short model of a knitted product, you can wear both ankle boots and long over the knee boots to the middle of the knee or higher. A medium-length fur coat is combined only with high boots (short ones visually “cut off” the legs). Ankle-length model involves high-heeled shoes (choose a model to taste).
You should not combine a fur coat with sports shoes or ugg boots, this will give you a comical look.
• Accessories.
When wearing a knitted mink coat, it is better to refuse a hat. However, in Russian realities, this is an almost impossible condition (or you will have to constantly wear a hood). If you decide to choose a headdress, then try to take a product from a material similar to a fur coat (mink or muton) of a similar shade in color.
Choose a bag to match gloves or boots, or in a contrasting color. A popular accessory is also a scarf or silk scarf.
plus size models
In the modern model range of mink coats, you can find an option for any figure, with any features, including models of large sizes. For owners of magnificent forms, a knitted fur coat is a great option for winter clothes.The mink fur is quite short, which means it will not add excessive volume to the figure. In addition, such a fur coat will add gloss to the owner, will not constrain movement, and will give a feeling of warmth in the cold season.
Reviews
Most owners of a mink knitted coat were delighted with it. It calmly withstands outdoor temperatures down to -15, keeping warm. Such a fur coat was especially appreciated by women who drive their own car.
As a rule, the classic fur model is very bulky and restricts movement. The owners of the knitted version are very lucky in this regard: the product is light, soft and comfortable. The downside is the poor combination of a mink coat and rain (as a rule, fur products are not treated with a water-repellent layer).
Also, in the winter wardrobe you cannot have only one such knitted model, since it will not save the hostess in severe frost. However, all women who have purchased a knitted mink coat do not regret the purchase, as it gives its owner a sense of satisfaction and makes her more elegant in the eyes of others.
