During the most grueling winter months, your coat is your outfit. You could be wearing off-duty black leggings and sporty trainers underneath a statement topper, and no one would ever know the difference. That means the outer layer in question needs to do it all–deliver warmth, style, and serious staying power. Enter the best shearling jackets and coats, which strike that rare balance with ease. For proof, look no further than Vogue’s own Mai Morsch, who recently stepped out in one of Nour Hammour’s signature shearling styles–an all-in-one outfit formula that perfectly marries total warmth with wardrobe polish. (You can shop her look–and more chic shearling jacket outfits–below.)
Vogue’s Staple Shearling Jacket and Coats:
Curly shearling styles are an especially chic place to start—Bella Hadid’s look is perfect inspiration; she paired a knee-length style with heeled leather boots and a designer duffle for one-and-done ensemble. Find similar plush picks from Arma and Stand Studio, which will transition seamlessly from the office to after-hours plans.
For maximum impact, choose to floor-length shearling dusters: Yves Salomon’s winter white iteration feels fresh and modern layered over corduroy trousers and finished with a chic cashmere bandana scarf, while Aflalo’s honey-hued coat makes for an instantly sleek après-ski look. (Bonus points if you work in a festive Fair Isle sweater and a pair of stompy lug-sole boots.) Classic shearling aviator jackets round out this edit–including Toteme’s refined longline silhouette and a cropped style from Khaite that’ll give any city-ready look a dose of edge and elegance.
Below, all the shearling jackets we love this season, along with how eight ways to wear them— proving that winter’s warmest layer can also be its most stylish.
How to Master the ‘Coat-as-Outfit’ Look
Make your outerwear the main event this winter by opting for Nour Hammour’s plush shearling coat, à la Vogue’s Mai Morsch. Underneath, the details still matter: &Daughter’s sleek grey V-neck sweater layered over Buck Mason’s classic white tee, chic blue jeans from Frame, and Emme Parsons’s little black boots–a worthy investment pair you’ll wear for seasons to come. For the final Morsch-approved touch, accessorize with a pair of tortoiseshell sunnies, like this posh style from Thistles.
Cozy Elegance Awaits
Winter 2025 is all about stylish bundling–and nothing earns star status quite like Stand Studio’s curly shearling topper. Arrive soirée-ready for any event on your calendar by pairing yours with Toteme’s clean-lined white maxiskirt, Zara’s red-hot heeled sandals, and Khaite’s personality-packed zebra-print handbag. Add a subtle hit of shimmer with Leandra Medine x Swedish Stockings’s glittering sheer tights, then finish on a timeless note with a Cartier Tank watch.
Off-Duty Refinement
Make the most of your off-duty moments this winter with Toteme’s fashion-favorite shearling coat in an elegant longline silhouette. Add a pop of color with J.Crew’s cherry-red turtleneck, then lean into relaxed refinement via Christen’s calf-hair-embellished slide sandals. A striped silk scarf from Sharon Wauchob brings the drama, because even Sunday errands deserve a stylish finish.
Winter Dressing
Take your go-to winter dress–here, The Row’s knit maxi–to new heights by layering on Khaite’s edgy yet undeniably elegant shearling aviator jacket. With such a pared-back base, let the accessories do the talking: Cos’s cream pillbox hat, Nour Hammour’s calf-hair leather gloves, and a pair of statement silver earrings from Lié Studio. Let Christen’s knee-high boots in rich burgundy deliver the color contrast.
Heads Up
Layer up in head-to-toe shearling this winter by pairing Mango’s under-$300 shearling jacket with a matching Burberry scarf–the very definition of true luxury. Keep the rest of the look casual yet cool–think Kallmeyer’s distressed blue jeans, Toteme’s cherry-red suede overshirt, and simple black ballet flats from The Row. The best part? Not only does this outfit work for peak winter, but it also transitions seamlessly into early spring.
Make Nine-to-Five Dressing Easy
The age-old question of what to wear to work during the cold-weather months–something that feels both practical and polished–finds its answer in Arma’s soft-brown curly shearling jacket, styled with Sea’s sleek leather midiskirt and Polo Ralph Lauren’s blue-and-white striped button-up. Transition seamlessly from commute to cocktail hour by finishing the look with Alaïa’s two-toned suede boots, Sophie Buhai’s fringed drop earrings, and a croc-embossed clutch from A.Emery.
Après-Ski-Approved
Whether you’re hitting the slopes or staying city-side, dressing with an après-ski attitude is a winter style no-brainer. Here, look to Aflalo’s honey-hued shearling duster layered over luxe cashmere pants from Guest in Residence and Zara’s festive Fair Isle sweater. Le Monde Beryl’s toothy suede boots are made for stylish stomping, while a waffle-knit snood and shearling-trimmed gloves from Brunello Cucinelli bring the entire look home.
Texture Clash
Mix all of winter’s go-to textures for your chicest look yet–beginning with Yves Salomon’s winter-white shearling coat, cozy corduroys from Proenza Schouler, and Toteme’s light-as-air cashmere turtleneck. Then layer in a dose of fashion flair with Johnstons of Elgin’s preppy argyle bandana scarf, Savette’s burgundy suede bag, and, finally, Khaite’s pointed-toe pumps in rich mahogany.
