Experience the shear effect this fall/winter season
Like the puffer jacket, the shearling jacket is making a soaring comeback. But the ones taking the lead on the catwalks aren’t your run-of-the-mill archetypes. Think: An oversized rendition dripping with a gothic attitude as witnessed on Marc Jacobs’ fl ock of twisted Lolitas, or the luxurious hooded version that whispered Parisian class and sophistication at Hermès. These exceptional showings have proven that, regardless of the shearling jacket’s early military leanings (it was closely associated with the air force), it still has a place in the wardrobes of women today. And whether you choose to accessorise the look with denim jeans, a pair of trarffic- stopping boots or a fur clutch for a tactile play on textures, the sky’s the limit when it comes to the coat.
