From the back of the closet: the classic coat that's making a comeback this winter 2025

Fashion, as we know, is cyclical , and this winter 2025 confirms this with the return of a coat that was iconic in the 1970s and made a timid comeback in previous seasons. We're talking about the gamulán, or double-faced windbreaker, that thick, warm garment with an unmistakable texture that's no longer relegated to the back of the closet.

This outerwear garment is today the protagonist on catwalks, social networks and urban looks of women who They dare to make a statement even on the coldest days. The return of gamulán isn't just a passing fad. It's also a nod to the quality of garments of the past, to a style that doesn't need to shout to dominate.

This type of leather or suede jacket with a lambskin interior (synthetic or natural), also known as a shearling jacket in international slang, is becoming a trend due to its warmth, retro aesthetic, and versatility .

While it never completely disappeared—there were always those who rescued it from a vintage fair or inherited it from a mother or aunt— this 2025 it returns with a vengeance and with updated versions : more oversized cuts, more pronounced collars, exposed seams, and combinations of materials that give it a renewed look.

In times when fashion is moving between the nostalgic and the practical , gamulán fits the bill. Not only does it provide warmth and comfort, but it also evokes a seventies aesthetic that came back into fashion thanks to TV shows, movies, and the general revival of past decades.

In Argentina, there are many brands offering versions at a variety of prices , from premium to affordable and secondhand. Even on TikTok and at American fairs, gamulán has become a coveted object for many local fashionistas.

The gamulán is not just a functional coat: well combined, it can elevate any look.

• For everyday wear, it goes perfectly with straight or baggy jeans , a basic t-shirt, and chunky ankle boots.
• If you want to give it a more stylish twist, you can wear it with tailored or leather pants, a turtleneck sweater, and white sneakers.
• It also looks amazing over knit dresses or long skirts, achieving that contrast between the rustic and the feminine.

An important detail: since it's usually a voluminous garment, it's best to balance it with more fitted or simpler pieces in the rest of the outfit. Monochromatic looks work very well to achieve visual harmony, and the brown or camel of gamulán combines perfectly with earth tones, beige, black, or ecru .
