SHEARLING AW16



As the temperatures start to fall what could be better than a chunky coat, with added fur and all the trimmings. Last year it was all about the 'Acne' coat of dreams that quite frankly was way out of most of our price ranges (see below). And sadly there were very few versions available on the high street, this year though we are spoilt for choice. 


Velocite Shearling Coat  
£1,900.00

The important thing to take note of from the Acne coat when looking for a cheaper alternative is all the little details:
  • Double straps/buckles on the sleeves
  • Zipped up pockets
  • Belt around the waist
  • Chunky zips
  • Inner shearling detail
  • Shearling detail on cuffs
  • Oversized fit
  • Large open collar
It is all these specifics and attention to detail that make it stand out and demand attention.

So the Zara version isn't an exact copy but it's oh so very close. I fell in love with it after seeing it on many fashion bloggers online and in magazines. Which meant I was more than aware it was selling out fast. So when I found a solitary one left, in my size, in my local Zara my thoughts were; buy now, think later. As you can see the thinking went in the direction of; no way is this one going back! It is such fab quality, and is a perfect fit to wear with t-shirts underneath as well as knitwear - I went for the M. I also love it as it can be dressed up a little with a midi dress/skirt and heeled boots as well as looking perfect with jeans and trainers for everyday wear.
