We Have a Soft Spot for Shearling Boots, Shoes, and Handbags
Vogue
10/8/2021
Look at the fall 2021 collections, and you might start to develop that warm and fuzzy feeling. Between the incredibly cozy knitwear and the outstanding shaggy coats, fluffy and furry fashion unfurled on the runways—and that goes for this season’s accessories assortment too.
In addition to the Yetti boots at Miu Miu and the shearling-lined trapper hats at Dior, there was also a plethora of puffball bags and shearling-swaddled shoes. And while snuggly hiking boots and faux-fur totes would certainly fit the bill for a snow-filled forecast, Soraya Zaman’s shoot of the most striking shearling pieces (set within Colorado’s romantically rocky terrain) suggests otherwise. For fall-winter 2021, shearling’s the norm—no matter your locale. Take Marni’s fuzz-covered pumps for a day in the office or Fendi’s pink-dyed clutch to a winter soirée. Or pair Stuart Weitzman’s shearling lace-ups with summer frocks for a soft take on transitional fall dressing. No matter the time of year, it’s hard to deny the allure of something so soft to the touch.
