Itβs official from the bible (i.e. Vogue), anythingΒ shearlingΒ is a must have for your wardrobe! Despite its humble, 70’s hippy boho/country sideΒ background, a touch (or more) of shearling will make everything look a little more chic (and you will feel a little bit warmer too).
I was given this shearling coat by my beloved father, almost twenty years ago. He bought it for me from a vintage store for $50.00 and I can tell you that my daddy had an incredible eye for clothes and style, he was a bit of a fashionista himself (thanks dad!). So, twenty years on, I am still wearing this shearling coat every year in winter. The style and cut on it is so refined and well designed. It’s so important to make sure, when buying a shearling coat or jacket, that it fits you perfectly. You want to avoid any bulkiness as that will just make you look all sorts of wrong.
Obviously the shearling Β since the 70’s has gotten itself a modern makeover and what was once known a timeless and humble sheepskin coat is now seen as a jacket (coat or blazer) with edge and character. Β When paired with skinny or flared jeans (or even faux leather pants!) andΒ ankle boots,Β the shearling coat is a statement-maker.
Trust me, when the temperature has dropped and its freezing cold,Β you’ll be grateful that you invested in something that’s both chic and cosy!
