Sherling, fleece, teddy bear – any way you want to describe the cozy, fluffy fabric works this fall. Always a favorite of the apres-ski crowd, this year shearling has spilled over onto the runways.
One thing we love about this trend? Besides how comfortable it is, it’s also incredibly affordable. Some of the best shearling pieces are under $150. Mango’s faux shearling hooded jacket is adorable. Madewell’s sand-colored button-up jacket is the perfect piece for fall activities like picking apples. Everlane’s ReNew fleece sweatshirt will be the one you reach for over and over again all season. Alex Mill’s workwear-inspired navy utility jacket is a more subtle take on the trend. Finally, don’t overthink it. Levi’s iconic Ex-Boyfriend Sherpa jacket is just as comfortable and classic as it’s ever been.
New designer Sandy Liang made a name for herself making fleece pullovers and jackets with fun details like pastel and animal print. This patchwork jacket is the perfect example, with animal print and camo patches with an accessible silhouette. Saks Potts is another cult favorite designer working with the fabric. Their 70’s inspired, majorly glam coats are a celebrity favorite. When you see this shearling color block coat, you’ll understand why.
Yes, there are a lot of coats and jackets and sweatshirts. But shearling is surprisingly versatile, popping up on shoes and bags too. Our love affair with Birkenstocks hasn’t ended, and we can take it through another season with this fleece-lined pair, which feel like a leftover from Phoebe Philo’s era at Celine. When the weather turns and we have to start thinking practically about our boots, this Sorel pair is completely weatherproof AND cute. Wandler’s leather and shearling bag is an absolute showstopper.
