Even such world-famous fashion brands as Saint Laurent, Cloe and Marc Jacobs demonstrated their sheepskin coat models in their fall-winter 2018 collections.
We invite you to get acquainted with this attribute of a woman’s wardrobe in more detail, and also find out what a sheepskin coat will look most advantageous and successful with with the help of photos and useful tips.
General rules for choosing clothing for a sheepskin coat
Any girl who wants to create a truly stylish and fashionable look wonders what to combine with a tanned fur coat. In principle, this wardrobe element can be called universal. In the coming season, famous designers who set fashion trends allow you to combine it with whatever you want - dresses, business suits, casual clothes. However, in order not to look out of place and inadvertently turn your image into a sort of hello from the 90s, it is recommended to adhere to some principles that we will share with you below:
- No sports! There are very rare cases when a tanned fur coat finds a truly harmonious combination with sportswear. It’s better not to take risks and give preference to casual clothes, for example, jeans with sneakers;
- Watch the volume. The sheepskin coat itself is a rather voluminous thing, so if you decide to wear wide trousers a la harem pants, you risk making your image not only a failure, but also extremely comical;
- Be careful with accessories. No matter how strange it may sound, accessories in the case of a sheepskin coat can play a very cruel joke on you. For example, if you decide to complement your look with a backpack or a patent leather shopping bag, you need to be especially careful. The same situation is with scarves and hats. Some girls, using a sheepskin coat and a scarf, try to create the image of a Russian beauty from a fairy tale, but in the end they end up with the image of a grandmother;
- An important factor to consider when choosing a sheepskin coat is its quality. We strongly advise against buying outerwear from dubious stores and markets. Remember that this item is bought for more than one season, so do not skimp on purchasing a truly high-quality product that will not lose its aesthetics after the first month of wear.
Choosing an outfit depending on the length of the sheepskin coat
Conventionally, all sheepskin coats can be divided into three large groups:
- Long (below the knees);
- Short (to the waist);
- Medium length (below the waist, but to the knee).
Each group has its own individual set of basic clothing elements, which, according to fashion designers from around the world, are best combined with a particular length.
A short sheepskin coat is an outfit that is suitable for creating almost any look. There are different models, including a leather jacket. You can safely wear it with long floor-length skirts, midi dresses, jeans and classic suits. Short girls are recommended to complement their look with heeled shoes! The most popular model of a short sheepskin coat is the aviator.
Important! Under a tanned fur coat, it is best to wear models with stable heels. Stiletto heels can make your look pretentious and a little vulgar, so it's best to save them for other occasions.
A medium-length sheepskin coat that covers the pelvis but exposes the knees goes well with long dresses and skirts. In combination with well-chosen accessories, you can create a very romantic and sophisticated look that will captivate and charm anyone! Elongated sheepskin coats also go well with everyday items such as jeans, sweaters, etc. You can wear boots or ankle boots on your feet.
A long sheepskin coat is a real find for women who care not only about aesthetics, but also about comfort. It will really be very warm and cozy, so you can safely wear dresses above the knees or viscose suits under it - you definitely won’t freeze. An ideal complement to the shoes would be high boots or boots with high, stable heels.
How and with what to wear different models and styles
In the coming season, fashion designers and couturiers gave free rein to their imagination and presented the fair sex with an impressive selection of styles of sheepskin coats.Aviators and oversized models are the most popular. Not inferior to them in popularity are the straight-cut models, which have won the recognition of girls who rely on the classics!
Aviator - short sheepskin coat. As mentioned above, it can easily be combined with any wardrobe attributes. It should be worn with great caution by girls of short stature, as well as girls with a full body type.
Girls with an inverted triangle figure are recommended to wear a sheepskin coat with wide skirts, which will visually balance everything out.
Oversized models are a great option for ladies who want to hide their flaws. The main thing is not to overdo it. Slender girls, giving preference to this style, will ideally emphasize their figure.
Straight-cut sheepskin coats are another universal option that almost any girl can afford. It will go perfectly with both casual clothing and various dresses, skirts, etc.
Important! Sheepskin coats with a straight cut should be chosen carefully for plump girls!
