6 coat trends to watch for in 2017

By / Life / February 9th, 2017 / 13

#1 Shearling (Sheepskin)

Designers are making what’s old new again (a theme you’ll see with a couple of the other trends on this list). Sheepskin evokes memories of the 70s, a la young Meryl Streep, Diane Keeton or Cloris Leachman. 2017 sees the vintage classic polished up into a slightly more sophisticated version of itself, one that can still rock out if needed.

Added bonus: anything made from sheepskin will be warm and comfy, which you’ll appreciate during our frigid Canadian winters.

If you’re looking for proof on the runway, check out Altuzarra, Maison Margiela, Balenciaga, Cedric Charlier, Carven and others.
