Rarely does a jacket pack quite as much of a punch as when it incorporates lambswool. There's something of a signature to it, a certain air of 'Oh I just threw this on', despite it being highly likely that it has been handed down through generations as a family heirloom. Why shearling has stood the test of time can be put down to its effectiveness as a shield against the cold, as much as its gorgeously luxe appearance, that somehow stays understated. Winterwear, but make it elegant.

While we no longer need to literally shear sheep ourselves to be able to acquire one of these bad boys, the material remains the same as times of yore. Sumptuous and soft, making winters a breeze with insulating properties to rival that of triple-glazed windows. When in doubt, get these out and earn your clout.

Shearling jackets can vary in shape, size, color and detailing. There's no end to the possibilities. There is bound to be something suited to your particular taste, what with colorways below including black, blue and beige, and cuts that hit the hip or sway just past the thigh. Collars, too, are often of particular note when it comes to a shearling jacket. Bias-cut, exaggerated and high-neck are just some of the stylistic choices when it comes to this style of outerwear. With the slight hint of lambswool peeping out, it's hard not to be enticed.
