Fleece Chic

Light but warm, fuzzy but not bulky, the perfect outerwear piece and under layer—fleece is the holy grail of winter fabrics. Check out 4 chic ways to rock the comfort of fleece with Fashion Fabrics Club’s breakdown. (Including a sewing pattern for a very cool pencil skirt.)

Fleece-lined leggings

Leggings are so comfy and easy, they’re tempting to wear all winter, but once the temperatures fall below freezing, the leggings you were wearing all summer just don’t hack it. Instead, upgrade on the coziness by opting for a fleece-lined legging. Same easy, comfy feel, but infinitely warmer.

Fleece Jacket

An athletic-inspired zip-up isn’t the only way to rock fleece in a jacket, thanks to its non-bulkiness it is a great pick for more streamlined or more structural pieces—even the ever on-trend edgey moto jacket.

Fleece Pencil Skirt

Yes, it’s a thing. And it’s as adorable as it is comfortable. Check out this easy sewing pattern by Sugar Bee Crafts to craft your very own, and pick from any number of FFC’s host of fleece fabrics from bright to basic colors or even a fun print.

Fleece Vest

Same as the fleece jacket, this doesn’t need to be the run-of-the-mill zip-up—a fleece vest can be incredibly fashion forward with the right cut and pattern, like this open shawl-like version in fun plaid fleece (tip: adding a trim really heightens the overall look).
