This winter, the fleece jacket gets a high-fashion update. Cozy sherpa layers played a prominent role in recent collections from labels like Miu Miu and Sandy Liang, and they’ve been spotted on celebs like Emma Corrin, Rihanna, and Katie Holmes. Juxtaposed against preppy skirts and sleek leather boots, the current look reimagines the tech-bro aesthetic of the 2010s—with a fashionable twist for 2026.
We’ve highlighted 25 of the best fleece jackets to shop the trend below. From retro-inspired options from Patagonia and The North Face to high-fashion takes from Celine and Prada, these versatile jackets serve as the ideal layering piece to wear now and as we transition from winter to spring.
The Quarter-Zip Fleece
With quarter-zip silhouettes spotted at Chanel and a key knitwear trend this season, consider a fleece version for your winter wardrobe. Wear it with jeans now, then take a styling cue from Sandy Liang and contrast your Halfdays Pieper fleece with a polished mini skirt when temperatures start to rise again.
