You may have noticed a proliferation of shearling coats on the high street at high-end price-points, some upwards of €1,000. These decadent styles are a luxe alternative to synthetic faux fur, some are reversible and they all boast a super-soft texture.
A different aesthetic to the pilot or aviator-style coats which always abound for autumn/winter, these styles are longer, tactile and look more akin to faux fur. Although, arguably, a real shearling coat is a more conscious choice than a faux fur option as it avoids synthetic fabrics. (According to experts, the polyesters and acrylics which make up the majority of faux fur styles can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.)
Leading the charge is Swedish label Toteme, the brand’s fluffy shearling coat, pictured above and below, is the last word in luxury – the cream colour would go with so many items in our wardrobe. Equally, fellow Scandi brands, such as By Malene Birger and COS, are both delivering on luxurious styles.
At the affordable end of the scale, H&M, Soaked In Luxury and Zara have come through with entry-point iterations in faux shearling. No matter which you buy, opt for a longline style (the longer the better) and team with a polo-neck underneath for an après ski look. Shop the best shearling coats below.
