Item of the week: the sherpa jacket

What it is:

The sherpa jacket is a smart buy for customers: though they can already pull it off now, it’s an item of clothing they’ll layer all winter long and will reach for well into the early days of spring. In other words: a staple that can be worn half of the year in most northern climates. It’s usually used as an additional layer on chilly days over a sweater or under a coat, but works just as well with a T-shirt once temperatures rise. As many other classic pieces of our wardrobes, it’s now revisited all year round as a fashion-forward, timeless or practical option. FashionUnited has selected some of the best styles to pick for the season ahead… and all the ones that’ll follow.
