It’s Time To Buy Some Fleece

Let it be known that I fricken love good loungewear. With the occasional exception of a Saturday night out, my weekend is spent in sweatsuits, dad jeans, and a crewneck fleece. Stylish? It’s debatable. Some may turn up their nose at the fact that normcore is, in fact, my normal, but I can’t get enough of it.

Streetwear brands like Stussy and Palace Skate have been mastering cozy separates for years. Now, contemporary designers like ATM and AYR are following suit, incorporating more elevated loungewear basics into the mix. Basically, whatever your comfort level of commitment, there’s an option for every style.

The key to keeping your look polished is balance: Try pairing a soft fleece with a structured wool coat, or throw a hoodie on over a midi dress and sneakers. It’s the perfect post-Thanksgiving coverall that still looks good—and one you can wear all winter long. Take advantage of roomy cuts and soft as silk fabrics this weekend. Time to get your fleece on.
