As coat season continues, there’s one iconic outerwear staple making major waves - shearling coats. Shearling coats might just be the best coats to add to your wardrobe, playing a big part in your winter uniform by being seriously snug, but with a chic 70s vibe.
Take your cue from Emily Ratajkowski, who stepped out in the perfect brown suede shearling jacket. The perfect cool-girl take on cold-weather dressing. EmRata's coat in question is by Parisian label Sandro and, although at the higher end of the price-scale, is currently on sale so you can save over £800. So, if, like Ratajkowski, you're looking for the perfect dog walking coat for sub zero temperatures, a shearling jacket is the way to go.
A luxe shearling coat is the perfect way to elevate and update any wardrobe. They are also available to buy from a wide range of high street brands and high-end retailers alike. Be they shorn or shaggy, shearling coats and jackets are timeless, and if the A-list is anything to go by, they'll last for years.
So, if you fancy getting in on the shearling action, here are our pick of the best shearling coats around right now...

Does Shearling Get Ruined In Rain?
To protect shearling from rain and moisture, it's essential to take precautions such as avoiding wearing shearling in heavy rain, using a waterproof spray designed for shearling or leather, and allowing it to dry naturally if it does get wet, without applying direct heat sources like hairdryers or radiators. If you're looking for a coat that will withstand slightly wetter forecasts, make sure to check out our guide of the best womens raincoats.
How Long Does A Shearling Coat Last?
The lifespan of a shearling coat can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the shearling, how well it's cared for, and how often it's worn.
Generally, a high-quality shearling coat that is well-maintained can last for many years, even decades, so you can rest assured knowing that the quality of your coat or jacket won't worsen over time.
