Key trends: Shearling: Black shearling coat
Black shearling coat, £95
We really like this aviator jacket. It's a dead ringer for the Acne one we've been lusting after, but at a tenth of the price. Wear with skinny jeans and heeled hiking boots

Key trends: Shearling: Coat
Coat, £999
Real shearling doesn't come cheap, but the difference in quality is instantly obvious. A fashion editor friend has a similar coat to this, and we are always jealous of just how warm and chic she looks when wearing it during the chill of New York fashion week. If you're splashing out, this coat is a style classic

Coat, £350
If the aviator crop cut is not for you, try a longer-length coat version. This coat continues with the aviation zip and pocket theme, but avoids the 'cutting you in the wrong place' problem

Key trends: Shearling: Jacket
Jacket, £999
We really love this clever zip-off section jacket by Hobbs. It's expensive, but the two-for-one design makes up for it. Wear either as a cropped aviator or a double-breasted short coat

All this talk of aviator shearling doesn't mean it is the only way you can wear it. This waterfall drape coat from Oasis is great on larger frames

Key trends: Shearling: Leather flying jacket
Leather flying jacket, £119
As get-the-look high street offerings go, this jacket is pretty good. The frayed seam and neck buckle details make it one of the better high street examples

Gilet, £58
For a taste of shearling, try this gilet over a denim shirt or a silk blouse. Ideal for the in-between autumn weather

Rucksack, £70
After box bags, rucksacks are our bag of choice for winter. So imagine our delight at finding a shearling-styled one. Thanks Topshop!

Key trends: Shearling: Boots
Boots, £20
Nothing cheers us up more when doing the weekly food shop then finding a gem in the clothing aisle. These crepe-heel booties are definitely making it into our trolley

Key trends: Shearling: Gloves
Gloves, £30
It was Lanvin menswear that first alerted us to the fact that we needed fingerless gloves in our lives. These beauties not only tick the shearling and aviator trends but, as driving glove aficionade Alan Partridge will attest, they provide "that little bit of extra purchase on the steering wheel"

Key trends: Shearling: Shearling lined biker boots
Shearling-lined biker boots, £145
We think our style crush, Coco Sumner, might wear these boots with a beaten-up T-shirt, lashings of nonchalance, and rock attitude

Hiking boots are everywhere for A/W10. These ones have the pleasing addition of shearling-effect lining

Key trends: Shearling: Wedge boots
Wedge boots, £55
We are always searching for footwear that we can actually cover distance in, rather than just hobble around the office. Crepe wedges are the answer to those prayers
