The humble men's fleece jacket has been gaining popularity over the past few years. Guys have changed their opinion on these historically unfashionable outdoorsy items in the search for warming winter clothing that is both practical and stylish. Possibly a hangover from our enforced work-from-home spell during COVID, at its heart is this cosy, soft choice.

To help us pick, our high street faves and their designer counterparts have taken to elevate the fleece jacket. Now you'll find options in a mix of patterns and colours, adorned with multiple zips and patch pockets. For the traditionalist, look no further than the granddaddy of outdoor fleece in Patagonia or its more modern sustainable alternative in Pangaia. We feature both alongside more familiar (and unfamiliar) fashion favourites to showcase the range on offer for men.

Remember that material weight is the key to picking a fleece that skillfully suits your needs. Heavier material is best for outerwear, while lighter fabrics are ideal for layering. However, we must make educated decisions to hit the sweet spot between cold-weather cosiness without losing style points. Let's face it, no one under 50 wants to look like they are heading to the Peak District for the weekend. So no matter whether you need a fleece for the slopes or daily errands, stay stylishly comfortable in one of the picks below.
