I Know You're Stylish If You Replace Your Hoodie With This Equally Comfy (But Much Chicer) Jacket Trend

Consider this your official notice: The fuzzy fleece jacket is the fall staple you didn't know you needed. Don't get me wrong, we love a classic sweatshirt moment, but the fashion crowd in Milan just showed us a better way. And leading the charge is Kerry Washington, who basically won Milan Fashion Week without even trying.
The Scandal actress arrived at the Prada show in a look that’s ripe for copying. She wore a plush, chocolate-brown fleece jacket that looked equal parts sporty and chic—a masterclass in high-low dressing. Paired with a sleek skirt and brown Prada heels, the fuzzy jacket was a smart contrast to the actress's show-going ensemble.
While a hoodie might be the king of comfort, the fleece sherpa jacket is the queen of quiet luxury. It says, "I'm comfortable, but I'm also effortlessly chic." Keep scrolling to shop sherpa jackets to wear this autumn with just about anything.
