Okay, so, I decided to get myself a faux shearling coat. You know, one of those super cozy, fluffy things that just scream winter comfort.
Finding the Coat
I started browsing online, and man, there are so many options! I was looking for something stylish but also practical, something I could wear on a casual day out or even when I’m just running errands. After looking through tons of coats, I found this one from a pretty well-known store. It was a bit pricey, around $200, but it looked so good in the pictures, and people seemed to love it. I mean, who can say no to a coat that feels like a warm hug?
The First Try
When the coat arrived, I was so excited! I tore open the package and put it on immediately. It felt incredibly soft, like being wrapped in a giant, fluffy cloud. It was also pretty warm, which is a huge plus because winters here can be brutal. I tried it on with a few different outfits – jeans and a sweater, a simple dress, even just a t-shirt and leggings. It looked great with everything! I was starting to feel like this coat was going to be my new best friend.
Wearing it Out
The real test came when I actually wore it out. I decided to wear it on a casual day out with friends. I paired it with some distressed jeans, a chunky knit sweater, and some boots. I felt so comfortable and stylish at the same time. A few people even asked me where I got it! I was like, “Oh, this old thing?” But inside, I was totally thrilled that my new coat was a hit.
- Warmth: This thing is seriously warm. I walked around outside for hours, and I didn’t feel cold at all. I think the faux shearling does a pretty good job of insulating.
- Comfort: It’s so soft and cozy! I felt like I was wearing a blanket, but a really fashionable one.
- Style: I got so many compliments! It definitely elevates a basic outfit. And honestly, it makes me feel a bit fancy, even if I’m just going to the grocery store.
Taking Care of It
Now, I know these coats can be a bit high-maintenance. I read somewhere that you should store them in paper or cardboard, not plastic, to avoid mildew. And apparently, they’re not bothered by moths, which is good to know. I’m definitely going to take good care of this coat because I want it to last for a long time. It feels like the kind of thing that could be passed down, you know? I am not sure if the fake wool would keep me as warm as real wool, but I am sure it will last me quite a long time.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m super happy with my new faux shearling coat. It’s warm, it’s comfy, and it looks great. I feel like I can wear it with almost anything, and it instantly makes me feel more put-together. It’s like a little piece of luxury that I can wear every day. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it! Just be prepared to want to wear it all the time. This is my new favorite way to stay warm and look cool during the winter, and I think I’m going to be wearing this coat for many winters to come.
