Winter Is Almost Here, and This Accessory Trend Is Set to Dominate
At the risk of sounding cliché, I can't help but ask myself, Where did the time go? It's hard to believe that we're already transitioning into winter when my brain still thinks that fall has only just begun. While the onslaught of cold weather and the necessity to hide all my cute outfits underneath a massive puffer coat isn't something I'm jumping for joy at, the silver lining is a fresh slate of winter trends to look at, talk about, and ultimately shop for. And today, I want (no need) to bring your attention to a winter accessory trend that I already know is going to dominate this coming season. Welcome to the reign of shearling.
Cozy textures are popping up left and right—from the fuzzy slides that are this year's answer to house shoes (albeit ones you can actually wear out) to the shearling-lined handbags that are quickly earning It status. Designers like Miu Miu and Jacquemus notably featured the trend in their fall/winter collections and now we're seeing the fashion set taking a liking to the furry creations.
Continue on to see how shearling accessories graced the runways, and then shop the coolest bags, shoes, hats, and more that you'll want to wear all season long.
Shearling Accessories in the F/W 2021 Collections
Miu Miu's ski-themed collection featured oversized tote bags finished in furry winter-ready textures.
It wasn't long before the shearling mules that graced the Jacquemus runway became It items IRL.
Givenchy's take on cozy accessories involved fuzzy mittens and hats.
Shearling Accessories in Our Carts
The third drop of Telfar and Ugg's collaboration is here and there's no way it will be in stock for much longer.
In terms of It bags right now, Staud's is on the more affordable end and so novel.
Only Jacquemus could convince us that we need shearling heels in our lives, and we're not mad at it.
This also comes in a butter yellow hue if you're really looking to go there.
Wearing these puts you one step closer to achieving Pernille Teisbaek's flawless style.
I've texted at least three friends about this bag already if that tells you anything about how much I love it.
Scandi brands really know what they're doing when it comes to this winter trend.
I'm convinced that these are the definition of laid-back luxury.
In case you needed another reason to put Birkenstock on your wish list.
These are already sitting in my closet, and they're illegally comfortable.
Up next, this is officially the #1 dress trend right now.
