Fleece jackets were popularized by Miu Miu a few seasons ago and have since cemented themselves as a cornerstone of cold-weather dressing in the fashion world. Designers such as Sandy Liang, Isabel Marant and Dries Van Noten have all put their own spin on silhouettes – from playful prints to sleek simplicity. It’s also been favored by some of our favorite celebrities: Emma Corrin, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber have all been spotted wearing this wardrobe staple, proving its versatility across aesthetics and occasions. Wear it with a skirt, just like those on the Copenhagen Fashion Week runway show, or style it with cashmere pants and slim sneakers for a travel-friendly look. Of course, the fleece jacket shone on the mountainside. When you’re not wearing it for active outdoor activities, consider pairing your après-ski look with a bold printed cardigan, even better if it features some sort of Fair Isle pattern.

Staying warm doesn’t mean sacrificing style—below, we’re exploring five new looks for wool jackets this winter and shopping some of our favorites.

Deliberate layering enhances the fleece silhouette. That’s where a clever color combination comes into play: a deep red turtleneck layered over a light blue button-down shirt accentuates the sporty vibe of the piece. Pair it with casual denim for a look that’s both hard-working and effortless.
