A bit of history

The fur coat is a gift from the French kings, which has reached our days with dignity and still holds an honorable place in the wardrobe of modern young ladies. Initially, this spacious outerwear was a mantle, a sleeveless cape worn by members of the royal family and high official ranks. Then this elegant wardrobe detail was sewed from the skins of small forest animals with delicate fur: polar fox, fox or sable coats separately emphasized the status of their owners.

Manto is a certain gemstone among other fur products, therefore expensive furs are often used to create it: ermine, chinchilla, silver fox or sable.

However, current technologies allow us to do anything with fur, therefore, in the new season, models that proudly carry rabbit fur coats on their shoulders came out on the catwalks.

Today, designers are able to change the fur of this animal beyond recognition, so that sometimes a specialist can not determine which furs are made outfit. At the same time, fashion designers also offer faux fur manty, which is not inferior in its properties to the “original”. So, at the peak of fashion, an artificial astrakhan fur, which is apparently not at all as good as its natural counterparts, but much more affordable.

Today, the coat has several varieties, one of the main differences is the model. Depending on your preferences, this could be:

Classic coatwhich has a circle or "sun" shape at the hem.

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

Cloakwhich gently “embraces” a woman by the shoulders, often, such a coat is not removed even indoors.

Manto with a cut "butterfly effect" - elongated in front and behind, it perfectly retains heat.

Manto with a hood - the daily option capable to replace with itself other outerwear.

As for the color range, the designers have long ceased to limit lovers of fur in this matter. Those who are faithful to the classics will suit coats of discreet shades - these are options from natural or artificial fur in muted tones: silver, black or brown, and red.

Another color option, which stands alone - white coat. This is a 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 fur can cast in yellowness, while the wedding dress will be boiled white. The simplest solution to this issue is to take the mantle for a dress fitting or vice versa. Then the acquisition will delight in one of the main days in life, and after - in everyday use.
