How to Wear Shearling This SeasonHow To Wear Shearling

While shearling has never really gone away as a fall staple, it’s one of the major trends that you should be rocking this season. Even if you don’t care for the real thing, there are plenty of cozy and stylish faux version of shearling that can add to your style.

Find out how to wear shearling the right way this fall, and get the most out of this trend. Whether you prefer it as a detail for a biker or aviator jacket or as a full look, here’s what you need to know about wearing shearling to maximum effect.

Stick to One Shearling Piece

If you love a shearling collar on your coat, stick to that. If you want a full teddy coat, that also works great with the trend. But the biggest mistake you can make when it comes to wearing shearling, whether it’s real sheepskin or a faux version, is letting it make two appearances in your look.

Choose the Right Shearling

Before wondering how to wear shearling, it’s important to make sure that the quality matches the price when you’re buying the real thing. Quality shearling doesn’t feel dry and it’s completely crack free, while also being lightweight. However, you can also opt for the intentional glaze effect, that’s equally striking, as long as it’s intentional.
