2012 Trends: Sheepskin

 

This season, I've been noticing stylish and really warm sheepskin coats and vests. They’re usually black, or in earth tones. Personally, they have more of an appeal in a natural toned color.




If you prefer flash, get a crazy loud color.

Another thing I really love about them is that they come in numerous lengths, shapes, and they are all cut differently.







I mean pea coats are great, but sheepskin coats are warmer, especially since its winter. Sheepskin doesn't make you feel like you’re doing too much the way a fur coat or even faux fur does, but I’ve seen them lined with fur in an understated manner that can work quite well. They can be worn casually, but if you prefer an edgier look, you can purchase the cropped versions with the over-sized lapels and zippers instead of the usual ones that fall a few inches short of your knee.

You can also always do the sheepskin vests, love them! The sheepskin vests that look the best to me are the ones that cascade down the front without zippers and buttons, simple! They usually have trim and are cropped.

You just cant go wrong with those options!
