At all times people used fur not only for warmth, but also for beauty. No material to this day can compare with precious skins in a luxurious appearance. Fur boa was invented just to not so much warm the necks of beauties, how much to give their images a real chic.
History of things
The word "boa" came in Russian from French, in literal translation it means "throat". For the first time this accessory became fashionable in the Renaissance era. Then the noble and wealthy ladies began to go out, decorating their necks with animal skins, with muzzles and paws. The eyes of the animal replaced the precious stones that glittered spectacularly. Such bright things were simply impossible to overlook, gradually they became incredibly popular. Fur boas even for some time replaced traditional decorations for evening ensembles - products from precious metals, inlaid with precious and semiprecious stones, pearls, ivory.
The second phenomenal rise in the popularity of the accessory was the era of Hollywood. Fur has significantly fallen in price, now products from it have become more affordable, and yet were considered luxury goods. The stunning movie stars of that time - Mary Pickford, Vivien Lee, Audrey Hepburn , appeared on them on screens, and every woman, dreaming of resembling these beauties, copied their style. So the fur boas gradually entered the women's wardrobe.
Now they are again relevant. Fur boas have turned into an accessory that never goes out of fashion.
Modernity
Today these products under the influence of various fashion trends have significantly transformed. Along with the boas made of natural fur, they are similar to collars made of artificial material. This is due not only to the fact that their prime cost is much lower, but also because modern technologies allow you to create truly beautiful textures that are not inferior to natural ones. Designers love to work with this material, they experiment a lot with it: they shear, color, curl and smooth. It turns out really spectacular things that can transform any image, adding to it riddles and luxury.
Also very popular are boas made in the technique of knitting from fur strips. They look very original - it's a cross between a collar and a scarf.
With what to wear?
Another trend that touched the fur cane was the fact that they were used not only for evening outings, but also for everyday life. They are worn over coats, everyday dresses and turtlenecks, combined even with clothes in the most common casual style now. Perhaps, the mauvais will be considered only if you wear a fur boa with a sports suit.
Here is a selection of successful ensembles:
- For the evening. A smart dress with a deep neckline, high heels, a clutch and a boa of natural fur. Important nuance: do not add this image a lot of jewelry. Jewelery will look just ridiculous, and jewelry overload the appearance. Stylists recommend limiting themselves to only laconic earrings.
- For everyday life. Office suit, blouse, bag-briefcase , shoes on a small wide heel, boa-scarf. Fur accessory will give an eccentricity and a chic business style. This will favorably favor you against the background of white-collar colleagues.
- For walks. A draped coat without a collar or with a stand, jeans or trousers, high boots, a comfortable and roomy three-dimensional bag, a boa or a knitted fur snug. Excellent ensemble for city streets.
