Once the go-to for dog walks, Sunday strolls and freezing school runs, the humble fleece has officially made a comeback and undergone a major style upgrade. 

Yep, the fleece is officially cool again. Pinterest searches for “jacket fleece” have skyrocketed by a whopping 12,455% and big name fashion influencers have taken to TikTok to share their fleece jacket ‘fits. 

These aren’t your usual frumpy, boring fleeces though. Modern designs of the cosy favourite have cooler fastenings, a boxier fit and better fabrics. 

The fleece still retains its practical, comfortable status though. They’re light but warm and great for autumn days when the weather won’t make its mind up. 

The high street is full of genuinely great options right now too, and many are more affordable than you’d expect. 

Whether you want oversized and minimalist or cropped and colourful, there’s a fleece jacket for every vibe and every budget. Just take a look at our roundup…
