It was close, but shearling came out on top. With their natural color palette, achieved by shearing sheepskin, shearling jackets are a fantastic option for those who find fur a bit too much. While they might seem rugged at first glance, shearling jackets are incredibly versatile and can be styled in countless ways. If you're looking for some inspiration, check out the looks below.

The neck, hands, and feet are all vulnerable to the winter chill. To keep these areas cozy and stylish, consider investing in a luxurious scarf, shearling gloves, and fur-lined shoes. These accessories offer both warmth and a touch of opulence.

Something about the biting cold can make even the warmest hearts feel a little frosty. When the winter blues set in, it's easy to lose sight of the things that truly matter. One way to reconnect with what's important is to indulge in the soft, luxurious embrace of fur. Enveloping yourself in a plush fur piece can help to soothe the soul and remind you of the simple pleasures in life.
