Including brands like Golden Goose and Stone Island
This season, shearling can be seen as both an insulating material and a design element, marrying form with function. High fashion brands like Fendi and Stella McCartney are embracing the trend, as are athleisure lines. "We are seeing a huge uptick in sales towards anything super soft and cozy," says Lisa Chiswick, Equinox's New York City–based director of retail buying for The Shop. "Shearling and faux shearling accents are the perfect way to stay comfortable, while still looking fashionable in and out of the gym."
Here, eight ways to add the wooly fabric to your regen repertoire.
Nylora Gibson Top
Textured, faux shearling sleeves elevate this otherwise simple cotton sweatshirt. The crop cut pairs well with high-waisted leggings for Pilates or barre.
New Balance Athletics Trail Blocked Sherpa Jogger
A jogger silhouette makes these a good option for a hike, pick-up football, or simply heading to and from the gym. Try them with a short black puffer.
Tory Burch Perry Shearling Backpack
Shearling adds a luxe look to this sporty rucksack, which is roomy enough to fit shoes, a change of shoes, toiletries, and more. Use it as a winter gym bag—the nylon is extra durable.
Cardova Chamonix Shearling-Paneled Stretch Ski Suit
This powder blue piece embraces the current maximalist snowsuit trend with its loud shearling accents and bold hue. The stretch fabric and insulated fleece will keep you warm yet mobile as you descend the slopes, while the zippered sleeves make lacing up your ski boots less cumbersome.
Golden Goose Superstar Shearling-Lined Distressed Leather Sneakers
The distressed look and visible shearling lining mean that these sneakers are equally wearable for day and night. Try them in transit to yoga with joggers and a hoodie or out with high-waisted leather leggings and a neutral, fitted top.
Stone Island Shearling-Trimmed David-TC Down Gilet
This vest's down filling and soft shearling collar provide a double dose of plush warmth. It's ideal for travel (the oversized pockets can fit a passport, wallet, and more) or as a layer for a hike.
Schott Leather Sleeves Technical-Quilted Shearling Jacket
This jacket has a retro vibe thanks to its short cut, rounded collar, and stripes. Those elements combined with leather sleeves and a back panel create a unique hybrid outerwear piece that will pair nicely with sweats or joggers. Other performance-driven features include a zip-away hood and ventilation holes under the arms.
66 North Solvholl Bumbag
This belt bag will add a shearling accent to any outfit. It's also a sustainable pick, as it's fabricated with material left over from the brand's coat production.
Moncler Harriet Suede, Shearling and Leather Ankle Boots
These versatile, shearling-insulated boots are equally good for slick city streets and for snowy, muddy trails. They feature a reinforced rubber heel and toe, wraparound laces, and a thick grippy sole.
Alo Duality Reversible Sherpa Jacket
Throw on this oversized, color-blocked, sherpa-lined piece to head to the gym or for an outdoor jog. If you've worked up a sweat, simply turn it inside out.
