S h e a r l i n g! The furabric for the 2014 winters and early 2015 frost ridden spring. Whether its the shearling from Acne to Burberry to Zara to Forever21, its the kind of fab feels you want covering your body. I made the awesome action of buying shearling in the summer time from a quaint little boutique and was quite excited to hear that it would be in season for 2014. It's warm, it's cool and it spices up black biker jackets/coats like no other. Shearling comes in numerous feels such as fuzzy to a more rough and coarse soft texture to a ribbed flow. It's greatest complement is the leather jacket and the suede coat.
The first time I wore shearling, I was as a little kid and wearing hand-me-downs. I was in it for the warmth and excitement of pretending to be a sheep. Now as an adult I realize how fierce it is when I'm conscious of how I pair it. I own a shearling biker jacket thats jet black with a suede outer shell. I pair it with faded black jeans and biker boots. Sometime I get a little daring and wear a maxi skirt but only with heattech leggings underneath and I kick on some black boots and crute chunky knit socks. Shearling sure knows how to make even the most conservative outfit look like a million bucks with its diverse thickness, density and colors. I've found that when having a shearling collared coat, buckling up the collars can act as a second scarf and it's an even warmer scarf most times! Buckles are one of my favorite accessories on clothing and shoes and most shearling coats come with either buckles or zips on the sleeve with adds more bad-assery.For those looking to score a cool coat this winter, check out some of these places here.
