16 Must-Have Pieces That Prove Fleece Is Still in Fashion

Normcore was the fashion buzzword a few seasons back, but it has since been replaced by other trending words. Like athleisure and grandpa fashion. But normcore is far from done. Those who thought it peaked with the socks-and-sandals frenzy will notice it has made a comeback. Just look at all the boilersuits, turtlenecks, mom jeans and — wait for it — fleece out there.

Yes, the fuzzy fabric of blankets and the faded pullover you reach for when you’re cold has gotten a fashion upgrade. Out of all of the things normcore and utilitarian to make a splash, no one expected the ultimate comfort fabric to become a coveted fashion pick. But in retrospect, there were signs.

Now, we’re peak normcore with fleece half-zips and pullovers in a range of faux shearling and sherpa fleece fabrics.
