There's always a lot of discussion around winter coats during the months of November and December, and there's no doubt about the cooler evenings that have suddenly rolled in, so naturally, now is the time to be thinking about your winning winter warmers. The puffer coat is always a safe bet for insulating powers, and the trending scarf jacket has the added benefit of built-in coverage, however, if you're looking for a casual but polished jacket that's to everyone's taste, there's a clear winner. Enter the shearling jacket.
Whether it's retro-inspired aviators or more contemporary, clean-lined silhouettes, the shearling jacket has not only proved itself to be an icon in the outwear stakes, but it also happens to be experiencing a spike in popularity this season. Totême's leather-trimmed shearling particularly caught the imagination of the fashion crowd and has been spotted on countless Insta trend setters.
Of course, shearling jackets tend to come at the upper end of the price spectrum, whether from high-street or designer brands. However, there are some great faux iterations out there from the likes of COS and H&M that look every bit as premium as their luxury counterparts. So, if you're looking for a cosy new jacket that's perfect for autumn but can also be layered up into winter too, you can't go wrong with a classic shearling jacket. Scroll down to see how influencers are styling theirs, and to shop our edit of the best shearling jackets available to buy now.
HOW TO STYLE SHEARLING JACKETS:
