Is it just me, or are shearling coats dominating Instagram right now? Between Totême's bestselling leather-trim design and, ahem, a certain Mango jacket, everyone under the sun (or the UK's snowy skies) seems to be adding a cosy cover-up to their roster.
The practical benefits of shearling, whether faux or real, hardly needs to be spelled out. If you've been hit by a a biting winter breeze even once in your life, you'll understand the primal urge to bundle up in the softest, most teddy bear-like thing you can find—and shearling is pretty close.
Knowing this, brands and designers have pulled out all the stops and fashioned this insulating material into some seriously stylish outerwear this season. Simple cropped silhouettes, retro duffle coats and even a bold pink-trimmed design have made it onto our wish lists, so it's safe to say we're hooked on the look.
The best bit? Thanks to some of our favourite influencers, we haven't had to think too hard about how to style our new winter wardrobe hero. Scroll on to see the best outfits out there.
1. Boxy Shearling + Blue Jeans + Heeled Ankle Boots
Style Notes: Yes, that is the Mango coat. You know, the one that sold out in record time, and again upon restocking. Even if this specific design is gone for good, you can easily recreate this effortless look with a similar shearling jacket.
Shop the look:
The subtle pattern makes this piece feel really premium.
It's true, straight-leg jeans go with everything—but I especially love how these silhouettes work together.
Mango delivers top-tier footwear, season after season.
2. Cropped Shearling + Wide-Leg Trousers + Trainers
Style Notes: This look has been in my personal saves for months, and I've only now hunted down the items I need to recreate it. Cosy and casual, this is exactly the kind of outfit I'm leaning on this winter.
Shop the look:
You could also layer this under a wool coat on particularly chilly days.
This charcoal suit is a nice alternative to black, but just as versatile.
A classic for a reason.
3. Sleeveless Shearling + Slouchy Jumper + Leather Trousers
Style Notes: Sometimes Mother Nature is kind and blesses us with a mild winter day that doesn't make our teeth chatter. On such mornings, reach for a sleeveless shearling cover-up to show off one of your favourite knits.
Shop the look:
For milder winter days.
The perfect chuck-on knit.
In 2022, everyone needs a pair of buttery soft leather trousers. Faux works too.
4. Aviator Shearling + Jeans + Cream Jumper
Style Notes: This look might be simple, but it's also so effective. Emmanuelle pairs her classic straight-leg jeans with a cream roll-neck, heeled boots and a stunning aviator style shearling jacket. Stylish, cool and warm, this look is winner in my eyes. Plus, have you spotted her gorgeous Celine bag?
Shop the look:
The perfect cold weather staple.
Emmanuelle's shearling is a beautiful chocolate brown hue, but you could also opt for a classic black.
I love a slightly cropped jean with heeled boots.
5. Colour-Pop Shearling + Statement Accessories
Style Notes: Lauren Nicole is the master of making a statement. In this vibrant coat and boots combo, you'll be turning heads everywhere you go—and staying snug as you do it.
Shop the look:
Lauren has a hot pink trim to her coat, which I love, but you could also opt for a bob of baby blue.
Style-with-everything sunnies.
Alohas' boots are always exceptional quality.
6. Short Shearling + Sweatpants
Style Notes: Now this is a look I'll definitely be copying this week. Cosy and chic, it combines a luxe shearling jacket (this is the OG Totême style) with wide-leg sweatpants and a sweatshirt for an easy take on winter dressing. I'm sold.
Shop the look:
Like walking around wrapped in a blanket.
Wide-leg sweatpants are just that touch cooler than slim-fitting ones.
Raey does some of the best sweats around.
7. Designer Shearling + Leather Trousers
Style Notes: We've seen Totême's iconic shearling coat included in countless outfits over the past couple of years, but I think these leather trousers work particularly well with it.
Shop the look:
The coat that reignited our love of shearling.
Jigsaw's basics deserve more attention.
I love the straight cut of these trousers.
