You’ve probably heard the theory that fashion trends always come back in style. It's like a boomerang. Every now and then, trends that we thought were long gone make a comeback, as if they’d never left. Some we like more, others less, but this one in particular has really won us over. It’s making headlines: the faux shearling jacket for men is back.Back in the 1940s, American pilots added faux shearling to their uniforms to keep warm during flights. Then, in the ‘50s, the material made its way onto the silver screen when it was worn by iconic movie stars. This helped to boost its popularity, making it a go-to fabric to add to outerwear. It reached its peak of popularity in the ‘70s, becoming a wardrobe staple of the era, and made a comeback in the ‘90s. Now it's back with a bang, and it's going to make our winters that much warmer. Whether it’s because we’re in the midst of a vintage revival, or because slipping into a faux shearling jacket is quite the experience, one thing’s for sure – we’re 100% behind this trend. The catwalks have been featuring this fabric in their collections nonstop for the past couple years, and it’s clearly had an impact on street style too. Take a walk through any European city, and you’ll see faux shearling everywhere. There are two ways to wear it: either on the outside as the main feature of the garment or as an inner lining. You can find it in all sorts of jackets and coats:
denim jackets, leather or faux leather bikers, inside bombers, felt texture coats and corduroy jackets. All you have to do is pick the style you like best this season.Men's faux shearling jackets are generally for more casual looks, especially when they're shorter. The longer the jacket, the more formal it tends to be. The best colors for faux shearling are earth tones: beige, ecru, camel and brown, although it also works beautifully with khaki green, black and burgundy.For the perfect winter outfit, pair cropped check print
chinos in grey tones with a mustard yellow turtleneck sweater and your men's faux shearling jacket. If you want to make your look more formal, choose boots, but if you're going somewhere with a more casual vibe, try sneakers instead. Want to give it a personal touch? Add a
