Add texture to your winter look in two shakes of a lamb’s tail by throwing on a coat, hat or scarf made from shearling, faux fur or goat hair this season. It was seen aplenty on the runways of A/W17, with the likes of Mrs Prada presenting her Miu Miu collection – heavily laden with bulbous, fluffy silhouettes – against the backdrop of a fuzzy purple runway.
Here, Agata Belcen and Nell Kalonji style seven ways to wear the trend, photographed by Jackie Nickerson for the latest issue of AnOther Magazine, keeping you cosy and fabulous in equal measure this December.Â
1. Yeti
Who is to say that the yeti, a mainstay of Nepalese mythology, should remain so? With this powder pink long-haired Max Mara coat, you can bring an element of folklore into your everyday wardrobe.

2. Beefeater
A tall bearskin hat, traditionally worn as a ceremonial garment by the guardians of the Tower of London, gets the John Galliano treatment with a flattened goat-hair iteration forming a thatch of glossy black fluff.Â

3. Flamingo
Gossamer, flamingo-coloured feathers become the most unlikely headpiece thanks (again) to the incomparable work of Miuccia Prada.Â

Blend in with your back garden in a grass green fur coat. Never has Autumn/Winter been so verdant.

5. Explorer
Louise Arner Boyd was an arctic explorer and the first woman to fly over the North Pole in 1955. Channel her sense of adventure and penchant for the cold in a trapper hat and alpaca coat.
