You can gauge the type of mood I'm in by the Instagram posts I'm interacting with, and based on the number of fleece jackets and zip-ups [1] I'm liking in my feed, it's safe to say the mood I'm in is a combination of cold and flat-out obsessed with these cosy vibes. If I'm scrolling and see a fashion girl wearing a fleece jacket with wide-leg jeans while running errands or unzipped over a dress, the picture gets an immediate like, and if I see someone taking a photo of their reflection in Pilates class wearing workout tights [2] and a pastel fleece jacket, that's also getting my double tap of approval. I just can't stop myself.
The fleece jacket is practical and cosy, and with so much more texture than a traditional sweatshirt, it's a fun layering piece that's oozing with retro vibes. Shop this trend like I am with these six options, which range from zip-ups to crewnecks.
Old Navy Loose-Fit Sherpa Zip Jacket
When it comes to fit, the roomier the better — a tight fleece or sherpa can feel extra constricting. The Loose-Fit Sherpa Zip Jacket [4] ($42, originally $50) is roomy in the body and arms and has a sharp collar. We love the idea of wearing this completely unzipped over a dress with some combat boots.
Old Navy Plush Sherpa 1/4-Zip Pullover
On the more practical side of the trend is the Plush Sherpa 1/4-Zip Pullover [5] ($15-$20). It comes in three shades, is super warm, and has deep pockets.
Old Navy Loose-Fit Sherpa Zip Jacket
Everything about this Loose-Fit Sherpa Zip Jacket [6] ($42, originally $50) speaks to us. From the buttery lavender shade to the full-length zip to the loose fit. This is the jacket we wear on weekends with muted workout tights.
Old Navy Micro Performance Fleece Zip Jacket
The Micro Performance Fleece Zip Jacket [7] ($8-$15) is definitely on the lighter end of the spectrum. We'll likely wear this for workouts and errands.
Old Navy Plush Sherpa 1/2-Zip Hoodie
If you're someone who likes experimenting with "ugly Dad" trends, the Plush Sherpa 1/2-Zip Hoodie [8] ($45) will feel like a natural fit. The zip is peak 90s, and we're partial to wearing it completely unzipped for that reason.
Old Navy Mock-Neck Raglan-Sleeve Sherpa Sweatshirt
A standing ovation for the Mock-Neck Raglan-Sleeve Sherpa Sweatshirt [9] ($25, originally $40). It's free of any statement zippers or colorblocking; it's just a pure crewneck hoodie and that's exactly what you want.
