There’s no denying the power of a leather jacket. We'd even go as far to say no closet is complete without one! But for those of us who experience all the seasons, traditional leather jackets aren’t meant to be worn year-round. When it comes to the snowy slosh of colder temperatures, a plain leather jacket just won’t cut it. You need an outerwear piece that can actually withstand the elements. You need a shearling leather jacket. It’s essentially the sister jacket to the classic leather style. But what differentiates a shearling leather jacket is its signature cozy soft lining, which will help you contend with chilly weather in style.

It’s no secret that the best shearling leather jackets are a fashion-forward way to add warmth to any outfit. We can name countless iconic shearling moments on the silver screen, from Ryan O’Neal in 1970’s Love Story to Kate Hudson in 2000’s Almost Famous, but there is something about a modern-day leather shearling jacket that is just plain cool.

And there are so many luxurious favorites on the market right now, from oversize silhouettes, trimmed with just a touch of sherpa, to the aviator and bomber shapes that are fully lined, and even a few retro-inspired options that take inspiration from the past. Below, shop 15 leather shearling jackets that will keep you stylish and warm all winter long.
