Why Shearling Outerwear Is The Ultimate Forever Piece
Cool, classic, cozy and wonderfully versatile – there’s a lot to love about the shearling coat or jacket. Here’s how to style it this season
Alongside the camel coat, belted trench and practical puffer, shearling designs deserve a place on the list of coats that never go out of style. Yes, shearling styles tend to make more of a statement than other bona fide classics, but they’re also designed to be durable, so pick wisely and you’ll be wearing yours for years to come.

Varying lengths and colorways ensure shearling coats also offer maximum versatility, but if you’re seeking timeless outerwear that will go with everything you own, we recommend sticking to a classic color palette of black, camel, brown or cream. Look to labels such as Acne Studios and Yves Salomon for luxe, wear-anywhere button-up styles in enveloping silhouettes.
Staying loyal to its impeccable craftsmanship, Parisian brand Nour Hammour also creates classic shearling designs. Its toffee-colored coat comes in a cocooning shape and is the epitome of a forever piece. Made using considered processes, it also forms part of our NET SUSTAIN edit of more consciously crafted clothing.

As for how to wear shearling now, although it looks divine over almost anything, we love to see it styled with minimalist winter looks to ensure it becomes the focal point of your outfit. An all-black, aviator-style iteration, shrugged over a black maxi slip dress and worn with chunky boots, is the very definition of easy elegance. Alternatively, team with jeans, loafers and an oversized scarf for the perfect weekend wardrobe win.
