That knitted sweater sure looks comfy. But with temps dropping and major windchill, you're in dire need of another cozy, thick layer of the shearling variety. Whether it's made out of synthetic fibers or sheared from sheep, shearling adds texture (in addition to warmth) to any boring outfit. No wonder celebs, from Gigi Hadid to Kate Hudson, have been sporting the trend all year round.

Don't get us wrong—wearing a full furry coat can be intimidating. Luckily, there are several ways to infuse a little shearling to both casual and fancy ensembles. Do as the supermodel and pop a shearling collar on a denim jacket or mix a sheepskin skirt with your favorite chambray shirt for a dynamic combo. When in doubt a shearling backpack will make a subtle statement. Need more inspiration? Click through for our favorite looks.
