Once upon a time, fleece jackets were sold strictly at outdoor retailers for hikers, campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts. Luckily for us, however, as gorpcore (i.e. dressing like a badass woman about to hit the trails) goes mainstream, oversized fleece jackets have made their way onto the backs of millennials, bloggers, and Instagrammers in what might be the coziest trend ever (or at least this season).

These jackets are essentially the chic way to wear a blanket in public.

Also known as teddy, fuzzy, and faux shearling, these jackets are essentially the chic way to wear a blanket in public. Pair it with leggings, jeans, or even a skirt—the beauty of the 2019 version of fleece is that there are so many ways to style it, from super-casual to structured and work-appropriate, you really can’t go wrong.

Whatever you do, just try not to fall asleep while rocking this cozy look (no promises on our end).
