With at least three more weeks to entertain ourselves indoors, now might seem like a funny time to invest in outerwear. But one of the best inventions for rambling in the great outdoors also happens to be the perfect companion for snuggling on the sofa. What is this mystical concoction of warmth and comfort, you ask? The humble fleece, of course.
You might associate a zip-up fleece with that wet weekend you went camping with Guides but the material has had a massive overhaul in recent years. Hype kids and Insta baes in all corners of the internet have fallen for the fleece, which combines ’90s nostalgia with our love for practical, long-lasting pieces.
Designers have also been instrumental in the revival. The MM6 by Maison Margiela x The North Face collection experiments with shape and texture to deconstruct the renowned Denali jacket.
