Every year, I spend most of my December and January in Europe, basking in the trends firsthand in the form of people-watching. Whether it's cool, on-the-go Spanish women in Madrid or chic, stylish Parisians sipping their morning coffee at a café, the women across the pond tend to deliver style quite effortlessly. The one trend I saw most of them wear, you ask? A well-made shearling aviator jacket.

Aviator jackets—and double-faced sherpa and shearling-lined styles, in general—proved to be one of the biggest jacket trends of last year. And they're not going anywhere anytime soon based on my hard-found, calculated research (aka the street style of women I observed during my travels).

They're the perfect no-fuss adornment to an already great outfit, and, for most European women living a busy, metropolitan life, the jacket style seems to be a go-to choice as we enter 2024. Below, browse plenty of outfit inspiration and shop the best aviator jackets to start the year strong. Trust me—you won't want to scroll away.
