The £40 UNIQLO Jacket That’s Changed Our Minds About Fleeces
The humble fleece is now fashion week worthy.
Once the preserve of dog walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, the humble fleece has found itself in rather fashionable company. And UNIQLO has a £39.90 version worth a closer look.
The fleece has received a designer makeover, with Miu Miu, Gucci and Burberry embracing the outdoorsy staple. Now, it’s less about hiking and more about pairing practical layers with tailoring, pleated skirts and polished accessories.
And while designer versions will set you back UNIQLO’s Pile Lined Fleece Combination Jacket makes a rather convincing case for spending considerably less.
At £39.90, its relaxed silhouette, high collar and contrasting trim tick all the right boxes. We’re particularly taken with the muted wine shade, which would look good with charcoal tailoring or a grey pleated skirt. The navy is equally appealing with dark denim and a chic leather bag.
Better still, it’s a great unisex piece. The relaxed shape works just as well with men’s jeans, chinos and trainers, making it the sort of wardrobe addition that might find itself borrowed rather frequently.
Warm, practical and unexpectedly fashionable. For once, a winter trend that makes perfect sense in Scotland.
