36 Fleece Jackets That Make Us Want to Go All In on the Cozy Trend
Finally! It’s not too hot, not too cold. In fact, it’s just the right temperature to pull on a cozy fleece jacket, plug into a podcast, and take a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Fall is here, and we are loving everything about it, from ankle boots to pumpkin spice beauty products and warm bowls of soup. That whole leaves-changing-colors thing is pretty awesome, too.
Although the typical Who What Wear office ensemble tends to lean more toward business-friendly blazers than comfy cover-ups, after hours you can catch almost everyone swapping their workwear attire for these on-trend fleece jackets, zip-ups, and pullovers—especially on leisurely weekends. With so many great looking options to choose from, we’ve narrowed down the 36 coziest and most stylish fleece tops to buy this season—heck, a few of these styles are probably even office-approved! Find the one that’s just right, and we’ll let you be the judge.
