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 us wrong. We love a classic sweatshirt moment, but the fashion crowd in Milan just showed us a better way. 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 master class in high-low dressing. Paired with a sleek skirt and brown Prada heels, the fuzzy jacket was a smart contrast to the actress's showgoing ensemble.
While a hoodie might be the king of comfort, the fleece jacket is the queen of quiet luxury. It says, "I'm comfortable, but I'm also effortlessly chic." Keep scrolling to shop fleece jackets to wear this autumn with just about anything.
