The Best Shearling Coats To See You Through This AW24, According To Fashion Editors

The short pile jacket from Arket is a firm-favourite from Grazia's fashion team, and gets the award of the 'best overall shearling jacket.' This is because of its chic design that features contrasting bindings, standing neck and button closures. Keep in mind this jacket is designed to be oversized though, so it might be worth sizing down.

We've seen plenty of shearling coats in high street stores, but this one from M&S is an easy win, especially if you're on a budget. Coming in at £75, the buckle coat (which our fashion commerce writer, Gemma Lavers, loved too) is stylish, practical, and perfect for layering. With its brushed metal clip fastening and poppers for a snug fit, it's the coat you'll be reaching for on repeat.

If you love shearling but want something a little more contemporary, COS' crop take on a classic is the way to go. Taking inspiration from the classic aviator style jacket that dominated the AW seasons only a couple of years ago, the cropped shearling jacket features a plush cream underside, side-seam pockets and a double-buckled throat latch that can be fastened to create a funnel neck.

Toteme know a good coat, just look at its scarf coat that went viral last year for being the most versatile jacket one can have in their wardrobe. This AW stay as snug as possible with another one of Toteme's designs - a longline shearling coat finished perfectly with beige leather collar and patch pockets. Plus, it's sure to make a statement.

A fabulous two coats in one! Wear with the leather outer showing or switch it up for a full shearling teddy coat finish. This coat is so great even Whistles call it a 'forever coat' thanks to features like a relaxed fit, leather finish and shearling bindings throughout. Throw this coat over almost anything you already have in your wardrobe, and you're good to go. After all, the coat is the outfit.

Taking inspiration from EmRata, who was pictured in a similar design last year (except hers would've set you back lots more), this H&M teddy-lined suede jacket is a shearling jacket for individuals who don't want too much teddy. The design itself is made in a soft suede, with an oversized collar, cuffs and hems in a plush wool teddy.

As you can probably see, Jigsaw has chosen to modernise the classic aviator-style jacket into a more contemporary design - and one with shearling elements too. The brand call it the 'hero piece for AW24' as the design is reworked in a soft and supple suede, and features cosy Merino shearling lining. Now when you put this coat on, you'll actually feel like you're wearing a hot water bottle.

The fashion pack love this Mango Fur-Effect Coat. It sold out last year and once already this year, so it's pretty likely it's going to again. Made with a cosy faux fur material fit for cooler temperatures, this coat features black contrasting trims, a flattering round neckline (it's practically asking to be styled on top of a roll neck) and rectangular appliqués.

Designed for an easy, oversized fit, this aviator-style jacket in the Per Una collection is super cosy, thanks to its borg-textured faux-shearling material. The coat almost has a vintage-esque finish, with buckle fastenings and a zip-through collar - and it doesn't come with the designer vintage price tag either. In fact, it retails for under £90.

Celebrity fans of ME+EM include Victoria Starmer, Zara Tindall and Katie Holmes. The brand is famous for creating clothes for women who need their wardrobes to work hard for them. ME+EM's clothes always have a timeless appeal, which is why we've singled out the short shearling coat. Got an evening event but it's too cold to go out without a jacket? Drape this one over your shoulders for a little added warmth.

Deciding what coat to wear to the office can be a tricky one. Of course, there's the trusty trench coat, but there's also the long wool number or a fur cropped jacket. When we're commuting into the office, this is the coat we reach for. Featuring a two-tone design that can as easily be paired with off-white as it can be with black, it's one of the easiest coats to style for the office (and then for after-work drinks, too).

Styling cream in the colder months isn't always the most practical option, particularly if you live in the UK, where it rains four days out of five. This black borg duffle jacket from Next looks like a duffle coat with a more contemporary twist - with its faux leather detailing, button-and-hoop fastenings and boxy shape.

The high street is a great place to go if you're after a coat with shearling and leather (almost biker jacket) details. The double-faced jacket has a lapel collar, long sleeves and a belted hem, as well as contrast cream borg lining. Zara seems to bring out a similar style each year, and every year it near enough sells out. Make sure to bag while it's still in stock.

This car coat again has shearling details that can be easily styled with similar earthy-tones. The majority of the outer is leather, for a more practical finish in the wetter weather, but the cuffs and collar still have that classic shearling detailing. Pair this jacket with something a little more feminine, like a lace skirt or kilt for example, and some chunky loafers.

A coat that's new-in for AW24, LOEWE have also jumped on the shearling coat trend. This top-quality jacket, crafted in medium-weight straight hair Merino shearling, is all about craftmanship and materials - you won't find a designer coat more unique than this one (at least we think so). Almost reminiscent of a classic shirt, we love the fact the jacket in shearling features small white buttons, flared sleeves and a smart collar.
