The Sherpa Edit: Our Must-Haves For Keeping Warm This Winter

There’s nothing quite like wrapping up warm for the winter, is there? And, when it comes to this year’s trends, one of our favourites has to be Sherpa. The ultimate type of fluffy fleece, there’s something about its high-pile build that just makes it extra cosy - it's kind of like a wearable hug.

For that reason, we think staying snug in Sherpa is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to something new - or - the perfect gift for someone else. We’ve picked some of our favourite Sherpa styles that are available right now at ASOS to give you some inspo, so scroll to shop our edit!

First up, UGG’s accessories are second to none this year, and this cute cross-body bag will make the perfect Christmas gift. Constructed from the fluffy fabric, it comes with an adjustable cross-body strap and a zip-top fastening for added security, as well as an internal pocket to help keep your valuables within easy reach.

Secondly, you really can’t beat a fleece from The North Face, and this one is such great value that we couldn’t not include it. It comes in multiple colourways, including black, sage, lilac and khaki, but to keep things simple we’ve gone for this classic cream number in order to up the versatility factor. The fleece features a high collar and a quarter zip, and comes in a box, cropped fit that’s super flattering.

Would it really be a Sherpa edit without including a high-pile Nuptse? The North Face Jacket took over social media in 2021, and this year it's back and better than ever, with even more colour choices. As we’re considering this an investment piece, we’ll keep it neutral in brown - though ASOS does happen to have it in blue too. It comes in a regular fit (so you’ll absolutely be able to layer up underneath, too) and features a zip fastening and zip pockets, as well as TNF branding to the chest.

Finally, bucket hats are a summer staple for us, so imagine how happy we were when we realised we could take one into the winter, too. One of the hottest brands this year, New Balance has made all our dreams come true with this cosy hat, which keeps things simple with a wide brim, flat top and embroidered branding on the front.
