If you were to ask me about Denver winter, I’d say it’s alright. But if you really asked me about Denver winter, I’d say it makes me want to shrivel up in hibernation and abstain from the outdoors until the temperatures hit the mid-50’s again. I’m not joking when I say my city gets devastatingly cold – we’re likely to see temps in the tens and even sub-zero days once December and January hit. That’s why I’m prepping for the freeze now, with plenty of cozy winter layers, beanies, and of course, fleece jackets. Fleece jackets are an easy one-and-done piece to put on that isn’t a bulky winter parka, since they effectively insulate my body heat. There are a ton of cute fleece jackets out there that don’t sacrifice function for fashion – scroll on for my 11 faves that’ll certainly help you brave the cold!

Do fleece jackets keep you warm?

Nordstrom

Canada Goose Simcoe Fleece Zip-Up Jacket

Fleece jackets definitely keep you warm since they’re specially designed to insulate your body heat. Of course, the level of warmth you get from them all depends on the thickness and weight of the fleece, and whether you layer up with additional garments or not.

Are fleece jackets still in style?

Nordstrom

Florence by Mills High Pile Fleece Jacket

Yes, fleece jackets are absolutely still in style. Right now, they’re leading the popular ‘gorpcore’ aesthetic, which takes inspiration from outdoor activities like camping, hiking, and climbing. But, they can work for a variety of looks, since they’re shoppable in so many different colors, weights, and silhouettes.

What is the warmest type of fleece?

Nordstrom

UGG Marlene Heritage Braid High Pile Fleece Jacket

There are three different weight categories when it comes to fleece, with the lightest being the least warm and the heaviest being the most warm. Lightweight fleece measures 100-200GSM (grams per square meter), medium-weight fleece lands around 200-300GSM, and heavyweight fleece is anything over 300GSM. A fleece’s warmth also depends on the actual material the fleece is made from. Polar fleece, cotton fleece, and sherpa fleece are the most common types of fleece you can find. Polar fleece tends to be the warmest, since it’s denser.

Parks Project

Parks Project High Desert Wildflowers High Pile Fleece

The high pile fleece on this pullover not only makes it extremely winter-ready, but extremely soft on the skin, too. The two side pockets and button-up collar are perfect for tucking your away cold fingers and face when the temps really start to drop. The elastic cuffs and waistband help seal in even more heat when you need it most. Plus, this eye-catching brown floral pattern earns major style points.

Nordstrom

Barbour Violette Fleece Jacket

This deep green fleece jacket is equipped with plenty of brass buttons to help you customize your look and bundle up simultaneously. It has a fun contrasting trim to break up the color and incorporate that extra oomph your layered 'fits will be craving this winter.

Free People

Free People Hit The Slopes Fleece Jacket

This jacket boasts an easy-to-wear slouchy silhouette that's ideal for layering over long-sleeved shirts and turtlenecks without ever feeling overly bulky. I love the sporty vibe that the nylon patches and multiple zippered pockets give to this piece, allowing you to wear it casually or more formally. It also comes in 16 more colors to suit your personal style!

Nordstrom

Ugg Nikia Open Stitch Detail Uggfluff Fleece Jacket

If there's one thing Ugg has mastered, it's the art of staying warm. If you know the sheer coziness of their signature boots, this jacket has that same exact level of comfort and warmth! I love that the contrasting scalloped trim breaks up the monotony of the brown color on this piece and also helps shape your figure – which is much needed when you're bundled up underneath layers and layers of winter clothing. The drawstring along the waist, side pockets, and standing collar will come in handy for shielding the most vulnerable parts of your body during a harsh winter chill.

Target

All In Motion High Pile Fleece Jacket

This lighter-on-the-body fleece jacket is the perfect garment to grab after an intense workout when it's time to step out in the cold. It flaunts a nice hood to protect your head and neck, plus thick elastic bands along the wrists and waist, which fit snugly against your bod to insulate valuable body heat.

Cotopaxi

Cotopaxi Bacano Fleece Jacket

Cotopaxi truly knows what it means to brave freezing temps – their line of expertly-designed puffer jackets and fleece jackets are ultra-warm, and this fleecy pick is no different! The high-pile fleece material on this style sets you up for success in terms of keeping cold out and warmth in. You'll be surrounded in sheer coziness all season, thanks to the adjustable drawstring waist and high neckline. I'm also a huge fan of the contrasting zippers and retro-inspired patchwork to make any winter look stand out, whether you're hitting the slopes or running errands.

Urban Outfitters

Kimchi Blue Snow Bunny Piled Fleece Zip-Up Jacket

This pick is like a wearable blanket. The soft fleece is constructed to a boxy, relaxed fit that you can practically wear anywhere. It's fitted with elastic cuffs on the wrists and waist, and you can adjust the level of zippered-up-ness (depending on how cold it is) using the two-way zippers along the front.

Nordstrom

THE GREAT. The Pasture Horse Print Fleece Jacket

All summer long, I was a huge proponent of Horse Girl Summer, which is why I'm heavily eyeing this fleece jacket – I can easily take the Wild West sentiment into my winter outfits with it! I love the cozy low-pile fleece material for layering over other pieces, and I also adore the unique details on this jacket, from the scooped hem to the contrasting spread collar. Yeehaw, am I right?!

Old Navy

Old Navy '94 Half Zip

Part of Old Navy's recently-revived 1994 collection, this half-zip pullover jacket infuses throwback flair with modern convenience. The fleece material is soft on the skin and heat-insulating, so it doesn't ever sacrifice function for fashion. The mock neck shrouds your neckline in warmth, which is perfect for extra-cold days. You can also keep your hands shielded, too, thanks to the zippered side pockets. I love this toned-down burgundy color, though it's shoppable in 5 more vibrant hues like blue and yellow.

Urban Outfitters

BDG Taylor Piled Fleece Aviator Jacket

With a chic mix of cream-colored fleece and black faux leather, this fleece jacket is definitely for those who don't like to abandon the 'fit for cold weather. It follows a boxy, aviator jacket-inspired silhouette that provides ample space for cold-weather layering. The fluffy collar brings even more coziness to your look!

Anthropologie

Varley Roselle Half-Zip Fleece

This half-zip fleece jacket is as sweet as can be. I can see it working really well for cozy WFH days in the midst of wintertime! The waistline is loose-fitting, which adds to its comfort. It's fitted with zippers on both sides that you can adjust for the perfect body-hugging look.

This post has been updated.

Welcome to November 2024! It’s official, everyone. We are cleared of the eclipse season and approaching the holiday season and Election Day. The collective is stirring with anticipation, awaiting the next course in our journey. Breathe. Tensions are especially high due to the major polarity brought on by the collective planet Pluto's re-entry into Capricorn just months ago. The tides are expected to change as the regeneration planet regresses into Aquarius for good.

You may be thinking, “What’s in it for me?” Aligning with the cosmic flow will bring more peace, understanding, and balance in your everyday life. Scorpio season is in full swing, and it beckons you to begin analyzing your internal landscape, desires, and control. You'll improve the world by grasping the importance of revitalizing your inner self. Believe it or not, you're the main character of your story, and your light contributes more than you know. This November highlights this part of your narrative. Are you ready to learn what is in store for you this month? Read on for your sun, moon, and rising November horoscope below.

Themes For Your November Horoscope In 2024

Brian Yurasits

This month kicks off with the New Moon in Scorpio on November 1st, helping you see how you're being of service to yourself and others. Due to Scorpio's vibe of death and regeneration, this lunation will also materialize the importance of “clearing out” from the old. Remember last month’s solar eclipse?

This New Moon in Scorpio extends the path for you to turn over a new leaf and actualize your desired changes. Make a move.

The communication signals will power up as Mercury enters Sagittarius on November 2nd, manifesting a feeling of warmth and hope in our messages. The dialogue exchanged will be inspiring and educational.

Share information that will benefit others. You'll experience serendipitous moments as you give back.

Our drive and bravado will turn up as the motivator planet Mars enters Leo on November 3rd. Our self-worth will drive passion and desire. Step forward and claim your desire.

Patricia Luquet

Create your masterpiece and watch it come to life. Believe.

Love will shift to rationality and structure as Venus shifts into Capricorn on November 11. These next several weeks will help you gauge more accordingly with long-term plans and practical concerns. It will also invoke a more grounded approach to romance and dating.

Slow and steady builds stronger foundations in love.

On November 15th, the Full Moon in Taurus illuminates the sky, highlighting the importance of taking the reigns through a measured approach. With the rebel planet, Uranus, in alignment with this full moon, it will stir up massive changes involving our narrative and how we are playing our part in our storyline. It can lead to impulsive moves, so remember to be intentional. The great news is that Saturn, the structure planet, is direct today, bringing more clarity regarding our direction.

Ahmed ツ

Brilliance awaits as you hold steady.

Buckle up! On November 19th, Pluto ingresses into Aquarius, settling into this future-oriented sign. Anticipate significant technological advancements, including refined artificial intelligence, quantum computing breakthroughs, renewable energy innovations, and immersive virtual reality experiences. Side note: VR Games like Supernatural(I'm a BIG fan!) are revolutionizing workouts, allowing people to exercise in other worlds while engaging with a supportive community for weight loss, endorphins, and positive accountability. As you visualize your ideal paradigm, Pluto will guide you toward the tools or necessary changes to attract your desired results. Embrace this transformation and let go of outdated constructs, paving the way for a brighter, more interconnected future.

Vlada Karpovich

Happiness and fulfillment await those willing to adapt and grow.

This month ends with the Sun in Sagittarius on November 21 and Mercury Retrograde on November 25. Sagittarius season invokes wanderlust, adventure, and growth. Remember that you'll reign this season as you remain open-minded to new concepts and ideas.

Close-mindedness and dismissiveness of others' input lead to dead ends.

As we conclude working with Mercury’s backspin this month, steer clear of making traveling plans (like booking a ticket/itinerary), launching a business, or signing contracts. Plus, it will help you streamline your messages, think through your personal beliefs, and change your attitudes towards life. Going through reflection will help you gravitate toward your desired outcomes.

Which signs will be most affected in November?

Juliane Monari

As we journey through November 2024, Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Sagittariuswill each feel the cosmic waves uniquely. Scorpios will harness the transformative energy of the New Moon to reflect on their desires and initiate powerful changes.
