DOM GOOR AW25: Shearling Defined

Shearling has always belonged to the language of true luxury. It offers warmth without weight, durability without compromise, and texture that feels alive in the hand. 

For AW25, DOM GOOR brings forward a collection that redefines how shearling should be worn: as reversible scarves, cropped jackets, longline gilets and statement coats that balance indulgence with function. 

The Curly Shearling Scarf

The curly shearling scarf introduces the collection with a play of volume and texture. Its rectangular cut frames the neckline with a tactile richness, while slim ties allow it to be fastened neatly when desired. On one side, the fur carries movement and light; on the reverse, smooth lamb leather offers restraint and polish.

In October Mist, the scarf reveals its most grounded side, a smoky tone that deepens winter palettes and lends quiet drama to a simple black coat. By contrast, when imagined in Vanilla, the effect is softening, bringing a gentle lift that brightens heavier fabrics and draws the eye upward. The range of shades across the DOM GOOR AW25 collection transforms each piece into something new.

The Smooth Shearling Scarf

If the curly finish is about presence, the smooth shearling scarf speaks in whispers. Its polished surface sits closer to the body, a refined alternative that lends itself to sleek tailoring. The lamb leather reverse continues the theme of subtlety, offering a different mood without complication.

In Moonbeam, the scarf has a silvery luminosity that softens darker layers, particularly striking against charcoal or espresso brown. The tone feels modern, almost architectural, giving the accessory an edge of quiet sophistication. For those looking to add a luxurious jewel tone to their AW25 wardrobe, the Dark Cerulean is a perfect choice. 

Rich, inky, and intense, it becomes a sculptural accent that works beautifully with monochrome palettes, proving how even the smallest detail can carry the strength of a statement.

The Curly Short Gilet

For us, a gilet is a must-have addition to any autumn/winter wardrobe, and the DOM GOOR cropped gilet brings a certain playfulness to shearling that we love. Cropped, reversible, and finished with discreet hook fastenings, it carries a sense of youth while retaining all the richness of the fabric.

In Pink, the gilet takes on unexpected femininity, softening the heaviness of winter with a wash of warmth. Layered over darker tones, it becomes a point of light, a modern way to interrupt an austere palette. 

In October Mist, the same gilet feels more grounded, its smoky depth anchoring softer layers and giving structure to monochrome looks. The cropped silhouette itself is key here: it balances oversized shirts, sits comfortably against wide trousers, and offers proportion play that feels distinctly contemporary.

The Long Shearling Gilet

Prefer a longer piece? The longline gilet sits at the other end of the spectrum, with an architectural cut and a quiet drama that we love. Reversible between curly fur and smooth leather, it elongates the body while remaining light enough to layer.

In Sandstone, the gilet becomes a wardrobe anchor. Its neutral warmth makes it endlessly adaptable, grounding deep browns while softening lighter palettes. Styled over slim trousers and boots, it reads strong and defined; layered with knitwear in creamy tones, it takes on a cocooning softness. Sandstone feels like permanence, a colour that doesn’t simply belong to one season, but threads itself across wardrobes year after year.

The Boxy Shearling Jacket

Shorter, sharper, and cut with a boxy ease, the DOM GOOR jacket demonstrates how shearling can be both structured and indulgent. Its high neckline frames the face, while the reversible surfaces allow a switch from curly texture to polished leather.

Again in Sandstone, the jacket achieves remarkable balance. Over wide trousers, it grounds the look; with dresses, it breaks line and creates sculptural contrast. Paired with other pieces in the cool neutrality of Shadow, the warmth of the jacket feels heightened, almost luminous against its greyed counterpart. This is shearling reimagined for city dressing, cropped and modern yet timeless in appeal.

The Toscana Coat

If you are looking for a statement coat for AW25, look no further than the Toscana coat. Longline, collared, and reversible, it carries a presence that feels both sculptural and effortless. The curly shearling side gives volume and tactility; the smooth tan leather reverse creates a cleaner, sharper line. Press studs fasten it with subtlety, ensuring the fabric remains the focus. This is not simply outerwear but a piece of architecture, a coat that evolves with the wardrobe it enters.

Is a Shearling Coat Worth It?

A question often asked, and with DOM GOOR, the answer is clear. Shearling is not just warmth; it is longevity. Unlike synthetics, it does not wear down but grows richer with time. Reversible construction doubles its life, offering two expressions within one garment. When measured in years of wear and the confidence it brings, a DOM GOOR shearling coat is not indulgence but investment, an intelligent choice for AW25 and beyond.

Are Shearling Coats in Style in 2025?

Shearling has moved far beyond rustic tradition. In 2025, it stands as one of the defining fabrics of luxury fashion. Designers continue to reinterpret it, but DOM GOOR leads with modern cuts, refined palettes and a philosophy of durability. These coats, gilets and scarves are not bound to fleeting trends; they embody a broader movement towards sustainable, investment-led dressing. Shearling is not simply in style this season; it is the very language of style itself.

The Essence of DOM GOOR AW25

From the sculptural scarves that complement base layers perfectly, to the longline coats that anchor a wardrobe, DOM GOOR AW25 proves how shearling can be endlessly reimagined. 

Colours like October Mist, Sandstone, Pink and Dark Cerulean shape mood and proportion. Each design offers two garments in one, two surfaces, two personalities -  curly and textured, or sleek and polished.

At House of Valerie, we see the DOM GOOR shearling coat not as seasonal outerwear, but as the essence of modern ladies' designerwear: intelligent, versatile, deeply tactile. These are pieces built for AW25, but made to be lived in for many seasons to come.
