Fleece jackets are no longer just a piece of sporty, suburban outerwear – the fabric was seen all over, officially marking it as trendy. But who can argue with that? Fleece jackets and pullovers are cozy, warm, and versatile. They keep you bundled up from cold weather when you’re out and about, but are usually comfortable enough to cuddle up in on your couch as well. Basically, it’s a piece worth investing in for the upcoming chilly months. Here are a few of the best women’s fleeces out there:
Recycled Sherpa Chore Jacket
This jacket is made from recycled polyester and has been lined in a thermal fleece fabric to keep you nice and cozy all winter. The relaxed fit and deep pockets make it a great option for throwing on to run errands or even to layer underneath a wool coat for some extra layering.
Women's L.L.Bean Hi-Pile Hooded Pullover
Is it a sweatshirt or is it a fleece? This pull-over is made from soft, plush polyester and features a high neck to keep the chill out plus a kangaroo pocket to keep your hands toasty. Throw a turtleneck underneath and you’ve got the perfect outfit for staying warm as the temperature starts to dip.
Women’s Denali 2 Jacket
When it comes to fleece jackets, The North Face has the trend down on lock: remember the incredibly popular Denali jacket that you likely owned in high school or college? It’s officially back in style. The Denali is a classic for a reason: it’s genuinely warm without feeling too heavy, it features a simple colorblock design, and it even holds up through light rain or snow.
Patagonia Los Gatos Fleece Jacket
A heavy fleece jacket is nice to bundle up in, but sometimes you want something lighter to layer under a big jacket or just to wear around the house. The Los Gatos zip-up is perfect for that: it’s soft and comfortable enough to wear all day with jeans, and light enough to use as a base layer for any kind of outdoor activity. The high neck is a nice plus, especially if you forget a scarf.
prAna Permafrost ½ Zip Fleece Jacket
If you’re searching for more of a pullover than a jacket, opt for this prAna option. With a hood and an oversized feel, it will keep you super cozy no matter what you’re doing. The half-zip is also nice to have, since fleece can sometimes get a little too warm, and you need to breathe a bit. It also features a jersey lining to really ensure you’re not going to feel overheated.
Mega Fleece Crewneck
Stay cozy all day long in this simple crewneck from Outdoor Voices. It’s perfect with leggings or jeans and can be worn very casual or even a little bit more dressed up with the right accessories. It’s made from recycled wool and is super soft - and even has some convenient little pockets.
