Who wears sandals under a fur coat? Fashion educational program

A fur coat plus light shoes? This is something unimaginable, and yet it has been a squeak for several seasons in a row in Europe and the West. “Well, why?” - you ask. Let's try to figure it out...

Where did this come from?

The fashion industry cannot be satisfied with standards. Creating something new, combining the incongruous, combining the incombinable is a pleasure for eminent maestros. Even before, high fashion did not shine with common sense, but everything was always clear there. Designer clothes are worn only on catwalks, but in real life you can laugh at them or be surprised.

But recently, “model tricks” have begun to seep into ordinary stores. And if hardly anyone will dare to wear a bed dress yet, then fashionable combinations of incompatible details in the image have taken root, and there are even those who have received the status of favorites. One of these trends was the ensemble of a fur coat and light shoes.

We are talking about shoes and sandals. And most often on bare feet!

In London, Rome, Nice or New York, for example, such a combination is quite acceptable. The legacy of Carrie Bradshaw is trying hard, because she was the one who walked to a restaurant in sandals on bare feet, a shiny dress and a dog fur coat. Dressing unusually and calling it a “fashion trend” is quite in the spirit of those places. And the fact that in winter your feet are blue from the cold is nonsense, we’ll get through it.

By the way, in the summer such a tandem is also held in high esteem. And the same Sarah Jessica Parker feels great in long arctic fox fur coat and sandals.

Associations that arise when seeing such an image

New York fashionistas would be horrified if they knew what the Russians thought about such a fashionable “gadget.” For most residents of harsh Russia, this may mean:

• shoes are simply “walked”, and shoes are as expensive as a fur coat;
• cheap “show off”, imitation of the West;
• “the diagnosis is obvious,” especially if your legs are still without tights;
• the fur coat was taken on credit, but frost has not set in, so you have to show it in the heat;
• the call girl is in a hurry;
• This is a “fur coat on bare chest” - definitely a stripper.

There are also more impartial epithets, but we will omit them. Of course, if you don’t pay attention to the opinions of others, such expressions won’t touch you. But anyway in harsh Russia, you can be considered a victim of fashion only within the Moscow Garden Ring, and somewhere outside the Moscow Ring Road it’s better to dress more appropriately...

Why is this not surprising in the West?

First of all, due to the climate. Almost “even”, without any special jumps in the thermometer, it makes you miss the beautiful images with a fur coat. You want to look luxurious, and what could be better than the splendor of fur?

Besides, in the West they don’t wear fur coats all day long, like we do, but only on occasion. For them, a fur product is an element of their image and is necessarily complemented by corresponding expensive clothes and very expensive designer shoes.

In a word, A fur coat in the West is not just a warm thing. This is a sign of status. With the help of luxurious fur, a woman will tell not only about her position in society, but also about her man. It is not customary for them to buy a fur coat for themselves; this must be done by a loved one.

When can you wear sandals with a fur coat?

If you think sensibly, then only in the warm season. For example, a summer dress with a short fur coat is a perfect tandem, and light shoes will go with the theme. In winter, first of all, you need to think about your health, assess the possible scale of the consequences and abandon the idea.

“What if you have to?” - you ask. “It’s necessary” will only work if these are just a few steps from the car to the door that hospitable establishment to which you are invited in the cold season in summer clothes. Well, are you going to wear sandals with a light dress?

Certainly, such situations can happen. For example, this is a corporate stylized holiday. And a romantic evening in an expensive restaurant is quite conducive to a luxurious summer ensemble.

If you really want to appear in a similar image, try choose the “right” time of year. For example, the off-season is a great option. And it’s better to let the fur coat be light and short. Then no one can call you a fashion victim.
