Fur headphones: what to wear and how to choose?

Fur headphones are a great alternative to a hat: they protect your ears from frost, do not spoil your hair, and are also a fashionable accessory. How to choose them and what to wear with such an accessory?

Initially, fur earmuffs were intended for winter sports enthusiasts, as well as for professional athletes, but the designers quickly "picked up" the idea and turned this accessory into a stylish addition to winter and demi-season bows. For production, both natural fur (rabbit, mink, fox, arctic fox, silver fox, sheepskin, beaver) and artificial fur can be used. The headphone rim can be trimmed with fur, leather, knitwear. Some women's and children's models are decorated with rhinestones, cat ears and even horns.

Warm headphones can be not only a decorative accessory: many well-known companies produce products with a built-in headset for listening to your favorite music. We will talk about them separately below.

All fur earmuffs can be roughly divided into women's, men's, children's and unisex models.

• Women's. The largest variety of products is presented in this particular category. You can choose a model of any color: plain or with a print. The length of the pile also varies: headphones can be either very fluffy (from the fur of a polar fox, silver fox) or not too much (mink, sheared rabbit).

• Men's. They cannot boast of the same extensive assortment as the previous ones. Models for men are most often produced in muted colors (gray, brown, beige, black, blue), insulated with sheepskin, trimmed over with suede, knitted jersey.

• Baby. The most popular materials of manufacture: mink, sheared rabbit, artificial fur. Models for girls are often decorated with rhinestones, beads, "ears", and the protective bowls themselves can be trimmed with knitted jersey with patterns or made in the form of bears, unicorns or mice. To please the boy, it will turn out to be a product, from the inside with insulated fur, and on top of it sheathed with a fabric of "protective" colors. Also, prints with superhero attributes are very popular: the Batman symbol, the Captain America star, etc.

• Unisex. Most often, warm headphones with a built-in headset are universal. Here is a list of the most popular models: UGG Australia Earmuff W / Speaker (available in light brown and black), Ritmix RH 509 (available in white, pink and black), Cellular Line MUSICMUFFS14K (black fur, surface in gray knit) and Midland SubZero Music (available in white, black, pink, red, dark brown, and camouflage).

The most important rule for choosing fur headphones will be the visualization of the final image, to which they will become an addition. If you plan to combine them with fur outerwear - a fur coat, a vest, a jacket with a fur collar or a trim on the hood - then pay attention to the fact that the pile must be either similar in texture (for example, a mink vest + headphones from a sheared rabbit), either by color (black muton fur coat and black headphones made of arctic fox fur).

The color scheme is also very important - and we are now not only about combining the color of the headphones with your everyday clothes, but also about matching their shade with the color type of the wearer's appearance. Therefore, it is very important to try on the product before purchasing and look at yourself in daylight - does the chosen color suit your face well? Doesn't it give it some soreness, pallor, does it focus on skin imperfections? If you answered “no” to all these questions, take it.

In fact, this accessory is almost universal: you can choose your own model of fur headphones for any outerwear. Let's give some recommendations on this matter.

• Girls and women who love skating, skiing or just walking for a long time in winter can purchase a warm ski suit and a pair of fur headphones.

• Down jackets and parkas go well with headphones to match or in a neutral color. A snood or a voluminous scarf will be a great addition. The same rule applies to sweaters, sweatshirts, bombers.

• Can fur headphones be combined with a classic coat? Of course! Moreover, both men and women can do this. There is a rule here: the surface of the headphones should be sheathed with a fabric similar in texture to the material of the coat (male version) or be the same color as it (female).

• Male occipital headphones are most often performed in neutral colors, therefore, it is easy to match them to a park, down jacket, sweater, sweatshirt, ski suit. Such a gadget can even be worn with a thin knitted hat, for example, if you want to better warm up and still listen to your favorite tracks. You can complement the image with a bright snood.

• Children love everything bright and unusual therefore, headphones made of fur of a "cheerful" color will undoubtedly please them.

• When choosing an image for a girl a combination of headphones with "blown" overalls, down jackets, parks, fur coats is permissible, moreover, the rules for combining are not as strict as in the case of adults - it is only important to maintain the balance of colors and not to allow excessive slackness.

• In spring and autumn, fur earmuffs can be worn with sweaters, cardigans, sweatshirts, bomber jackets, leather jackets. Bright models are best combined with "kozhanka": pink, orange, blue, but for another "top" it is advisable to select a product to match or similar in color "temperature" (blue and "tiffany", pink and peach, brown and light beige).

• Funny headphones - with "ears", "horns", bows or bowls, decorated in the form of animals - it is recommended to combine with sweatshirts in pastel or neutral colors, but always with a bright print, or with a long, solid-colored sweater with a voluminous knit.

• If you are choosing a bow for a boy, it all depends on his age and preferences. The kid will enjoy bright fur headphones, complemented by a print depicting his favorite cartoon hero. They can be combined with a simple sweater, cardigan and jeans, as well as a warm scarf or snood, put on a plain down jacket or parka on top.
