As a midwestern child of the 90’s the fleece jacket seems somewhat nostalgic to me. From my high school grey and black The North Face Denali jacket that I basically slept in, to my college beige Patagonia pullover that had a mysterious cigarette burn on it, I’m no stranger to a fleece. They’re so cozy how can you resist! That’s why I’m pretty pumped I keep seeing some fresh looking fleece jackets out there, and the brand that’s doing it the best is Sandy Liang. Not only does she make extremely cool fleeces she also has an entire clothing collection. I love her dresses and quirky sweaters, definitely give her website a look if you need some cool girl pieces in your life.

I styled this fleece with the Agolde criss-cross jeans (why wear plain denim when you could wear statement denim) and a dupe of The Row zipper boots that will run you $1,200 and these are under $250. My guess is they sell out! Snag both the jacket and shoes and be cozy and cool all winter long.

And now you know…

One of my favorite micro trends of the season is definitely the patchwork jacket. Let’s be honest I’m a little over the minimal style that’s currently dominating the fashion scene and I could use a little color in my life. Just look at how chic these women below are! I would wear this trend with a sweater, jeans, and a sneaker running to the market, casual dinner with friends, or perhaps a pumpkin patch? These Agolde crisis cross jeans are super fun with paired with this H&M sweater that is the loveliest mustard color. Finish the look with a versatile white sneaker like the Nike blazers and you’re ready to roll.

Below you’ll find a bunch of patchwork jacket options to choose from!
