Fleece jackets are many people's go-to for spring layering, but not every fleece is a good fashion choice. Rather than picking a generic black or navy blue fleece with your company's logo embroidered on it, we recommend picking something colorful and unique.
Choosing a fleece with a bolder color, an interesting pattern, or a more fashion-forward fit can be the difference between looking unique and memorable or being another anonymous clone. Whether your personal style falls in line with retro outdoors gear or more fashion-forward brands, there are plenty of options to choose from.
To help you give your workwear and weekend looks some flair, we rounded up 14 cool fleeces to choose over the company-branded sweaters once seen everywhere. Some are more appropriate for the office, some for the weekends — but all of them will keep you warm and comfortable.
