Selection criteria
The first and main criterion when buying a fur vest is the type of female figure. It should be remembered that this is a rather voluminous thing, which will further emphasize your volumes. Owners of magnificent forms, who want to hide them and balance proportions, stylists recommend choosing options with short-haired fur. Thin and tall ladies can consider any model without restrictions.
Fur vests from silver fox vary in silhouette, length, sleeves. Fitted, straight or slim cut in different wayslooks good on different body types. Owners of magnificent forms are better to choose a short or hip-length version of the vest. It will not disturb the balance of proportions.
The length of the model also matters. Elongated silver fox vests from 80 cm will suit tall ladies from 170 cm tall. For everyone under 165 cm, stylists recommend considering short or medium length models (about 55-60 cm).
The next criterion is the presence of a hood or just a high collar. It can be decorated with additional decor. The hood gives additional volume to the upper part of the figure. However, in windy weather, it can do a good job.
Short vest
This option can be called universal. It is suitable for girls and women of any height and body type. A short silver fox vest (the photo below clearly demonstrates it) can be worn in calm weather with skirts and trousers in a multi-layered ensemble, unbuttoned. The length will not visually “cut” the waist area and will allow you to maintain proportions. With a short vest, you can wear both a fitted skirt and a puffy skirt.
Long vest
It looks even more expensive and luxurious. Stylists recommend wearing a long vest with a belt and high heels to visually elongate the silhouette and balance the proportions. This is especially true for girls and women of small stature. A silver fox vest (long version) can be worn from the very beginning of spring until late autumn, combined with a leather jacket orthin drape coat.
Vest with sleeves
For enthusiastic fashionistas who do not want to part with this stylish wardrobe item before the first frost, the designers have thought of an option with sleeves. They can be short or three-quarter length. Long sleeves already translate the vest into the category of a short fur coat. And these are other styling options. Stylists recommend combining a silver fox vest with sleeves with long gloves. In this case, they will look organic. Look spectacular with this style of vest jewelry on the hands.
Hooded vest
This detail gives more volume to the upper part of the figure, so curvy ladies should be careful with it. On the other hand, the hood beautifully frames the face and illuminates the skin with soft reflections of light that shimmer with the fur. In the presence of this detail, you can refuse the headdress. Fur will protect from wind and cold. With a hood, high hairstyles with weaves, braids, bunches, “shell” styling will look good. Get an elegant look.
