The Warm Winter Jacket Every Fashion Insider Owns

If my own never-ending quest for the perfect winter wardrobe has proven anything, it’s that a jacket cool enough you’ll actually want to wear it yet warm enough to do the trick is hard to come by. (Separate the two, and the options are endless, by the way.) Nonetheless, there’s one jacket that seems to quite effortlessly marry these two qualities: Acne Studios’ oversize shearling motorcycle jacket, which goes by the name Velocite.

While the style has been around for years (here’s Rihanna wearing it in 2012), proof of its superiority actually lies in the fact that countless fashion insiders continue to wear it season after season in a world where most items’ spotlights last about as long as fresh produce. Not only that, but despite a price tag north of $2K, the versatile statement piece is sold out or close to it on most e-commerce sites—showing that it’s only getting more desirable. Lucky for you, today we’ve not only rounded up the best inspiration for how to wear the Velocite but also found where you can still buy it and the best lower-priced shearling moto options.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
