7 Shearling Coats That'll Keep You Stylish & Warm
Winter is most definitely coming, so say goodbye to those blissful balmy days when just a leather jacket or a suede vest are enough to keep you toasty. This A/W, take a stand against the blistering cold with shearling coats, pieces of outerwear that'll ensure warmth and style. Because let's be honest: The frumpy look doesn't exactly scream glamour.
While I do have a very serious relationship going on with my long, puffy parka (I'm pretty sure the proposal is coming soon...), I'm getting a little tired of plain black look that takes over the entirety of November through March. Enter the shearling coat, which can come in so many different varieties, from moto jackets to long coats to classic trenches.
To me, the shearling-lined coat and jacket is so appealing because of its too-cool-for-school look. Nothing says laid back quite like the fuzzy material, giving a nod to classic rock 'n' roll looks. Pair it with a band tee, distressed jeans, and your trusty combat boots, and you've basically hopped into a time machine back to the late '70s. But with designers like Altuzarra and Burberry Prorsum featuring this trend in their past runways, the coats also got a sharp, editorial side to them.
Basically, they're the most versatile pieces of outerwear for fall and winter. Scroll through to see some of my favorite shearling jackets and coats for this fall and winter season. It's definitely time to bundle up.
