Has anyone made it through today without making a comment about how cold it is? No, I didn’t think so. And, if you’re anything like me, your whole day has probably revolved around trying to stay warm when it feels sub zero outside. From what to eat (tomato soup and cheese on toast, for me) to what to wear (see our round up of puffer jackets), keeping cosy is pretty much my number one priority at the moment.
Yet, while I’d be most happy wrapped up in a heated slanket, when I have been brave enough to head outside, I still want to look put together (something that the slanket sadly does not afford me). Thankfully, the latest shearling footwear trend I’ve been spotting everywhere offers both style and snugness in equal measure, and so, alongside this seasons must-have shaggy coat and layers of thermals, it’s these fuzzy shoes that I’m going to be wearing all winter long.

From ballet flats to mules and loafers, this season it seems every type of shoe has been given a shearling makeover and I couldn’t be happier about it. After all, I like variety in my footwear choices and if that means I can style every outfit with a pair of cosy shearling shoes then even better. If you pressed me to pick one pair however, Age of Innocence’s shearling flats are a firm favourite offering both a fun fuzzy outer and plush inner. Paired with everything from maxi dresses to straight leg jeans and they offer a chic take on cold weather dressing.
