Winter dressing can sometimes feel like a fool’s errand. You can be stylish and comfortable…but still cold. Comfortable and warm…but look like an overgrown kindergartner hobbling out to make the school bus on time. Or you can be stylish and warm…but stiff and uncomfortable. Put simply, most cold weather outfits seamlessly tick two out of the three boxes, and you are left with something to be desired. Enter: sherpa jackets, which are supremely warm, come in elevated styles that can be dressed up or down, and feel like wearing a hug.
Essentially, wearing one is like being enveloped by your most-beloved throw blanket only better because it has sleeves. And their plush, fuzzy interior is also a great, vegan-alternative to classic wool or sheepskin coats. But the best part about sherpa jackets is their versatility. They come in every size, color, length, cut, and style. Some are full-on fluffy, while others offer just a demure lining under a protective shell. But regardless of what option you pick, sherpa jackets will keep you warm.
