We're Only a Month Into 2022, But I'm Convinced This Jacket Is the Moment
Spotting emerging trends in their infancy is my specialty, but I usually wait a bit for them to properly blow up before officially calling it out. Today, I'm breaking that principle because the latest piece to grace my computer screen is simply too pervasive to ignore.
Shearling jackets aren't anything new by any means, but when everyone from luxury brands like Jacquemus and Miu Miu to affordable retailers like Zara and Mango keep coming out with their own iterations, you know you're on to something big. This is exactly why, only one month into 2022, I'm crowning the biker shearling jacket the coat of the moment.
One reason I'm so fervently behind this piece? It strikes the perfect balance between practically cozy and aesthetically interesting. So no more choosing between wearing that unsightly parka or freezing into a solid block of ice. If you're already on board, keep scrolling to shop 23 of the best shearling coats on the market, along with some of my bookmarked styling inspiration.
Three words: Buy this now. Why? Because it will surely sell out within the week.
We love this trend so much at Who What Wear we made our very own take on it. Might I add it's quite amazing?
If you're looking for outerwear with unique color combinations and trend-forward details, look no further than fashion-person favorite Stand Studio.
Blink twice, and you'll think it's ACNE Studios.
Ugg knows how to make cozy boots you'll want to live in forever, so I already trust this coat will make me feel the same.
This looks like a big teddy bear (and I'm not mad at it).
Style this with light-wash denim and a black turtleneck for a Parisian spin.
Go for a cropped length to show off a pair of high-waisted pants.
Just from the image alone, the buttery-soft leather is calling my name.
The thought of running errands in 20-degree weather suddenly doesn't sound so bad.
It's pricey, but it'll be a piece you wear season after season.
If you have the budget, I say go for it.
