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.

Indya Brown is a fashion editor, stylist, and writer living in Los Angeles. While going to school at Columbia University in New York City, she got her feet wet in the fashion industry interning at Elle magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York magazine's The Cut. After graduating in 2016, she joined The Cut as a fashion assistant, eventually working her way up to fashion editor. There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content. While New York has been her home for over 10 years, she moved to Los Angeles in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 for a new chapter. Now she is a fashion market editor for Who What Wear, focusing on emerging designers, rising trends on and off the internet, interior design, and BIPOC creatives and brands. Aside from her duties as a fashion market editor, Brown is also a freelance stylist and writer, working on national print and video commercial campaigns for Sephora, The Independent, and Cadillac. Her bylines also include Harper's Bazaar, Vox, and The New York Times. But once the computer goes down and the emails turn off, she's likely eating her way through Koreatown, hunting down vintage furniture, scoping out new outrageous nail designs to try, or taking a hot cycling class.
