Your Cold-Weather Wardrobe Is Missing Some Fun Fleece

When the sun starts setting far too early, you might find yourself reaching for creature comforts to help you cope. That could be a cozy robe, cozy socks, a cozy blanket… See a theme here?

The out-of-home equivalent, of course, is the fleece jacket, which, over time — first with normcore and more recently with gorpcore — has expanded beyond the shelves of outdoor retailers and into pretty much every corner of fashion. Patagonia and The North Face may be tried and true, but designers like Sandy Liang, Donni, Tory Burch and more have put their own spin on the staple and incorporated it into their mainstay assortments. There’s also more variety in silhouette, from zip-ups to pullovers to proper jackets to vests. And from classic cream to prints you can’t look away from, there’s a fleece flavor for everyone.
