The Shearling Coat: Old favourites look great now too
The shearling coat: in the past, winter brought to mind only clothes that kept our bodies warm — pieces that weren’t stylish at all, that weren’t eye-catching, colourful or fun, but that kept us warm all the same. As is well known, shearling coats were first made as military jackets. Of course, they are no longer made from real sheepskin as they were when they were first produced. Today they are made from synthetic materials.

Yes, girls. When we think of these coats now, they look a little old-fashioned. Are you asking yourself how you can look stylish in one? Then let’s start the day with shearling coats, and look at how to put outfits together and how to create a more masculine vibe.
Are you ready? With the cold spells on the way, I think you’re more than ready for the shearling coat trend…
The coat brings a vintage feel, but don’t let that fool you into always keeping your outfits plain.
For example, the outfit above is the wrong one, girls. The piece we’re using isn’t a complete star piece, so there’s no need to be timid and hold back our main outfit… I think the shearling trend needs a bit of colour…
With small touches, you can show everyone how warm the outfits you create with this piece — which will warm us inside too — really are…
If you’re a fan of leather shearling coats, it’s worth going for a single colour. In that case, you bring out what you might call the nobility of a dark shade…
How do you want to look more stylish together with your boyfriend?
The shearling coat has become one of the pieces we now want to see on both men and women. Come on, girls, if you want all eyes on you, add a little colour to your shearlings. Isn’t it time to show your weight in street style?
Brown… winter’s most loved colour, the colour most worth falling in love with. I think it’s one of the colours that suits the shearling trend best. There are also suede burgundies and khakis. I’d say don’t hesitate to match these too.
As I’ve always said: colour, colour, colour…
Loose, comfortable and chic: three such lovely words, and so opposite to one another. In fact, when you look at the outfit below, you’ll see that these wonderful coats give you the chance to bring these three words together in a magical way.
AND FINALLY, OF COURSE, DON’T FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE OUTFITS YOU PUT TOGETHER, GIRLS:
A LOVELY SMILE WILL ALWAYS BE THE THING THAT DRAWS THE MOST ATTENTION.
