Plus size women's fleece, zipped or hooded
.webp)
The plus size women's fleece is the ultimate warm and lightweight layer: a zip-up fleece jacket, hooded fleece sweatshirt, or soft gilet. It can be worn on its own in mild weather, under a coat in winter, or at home.
A zip-up fleece jacket opens and closes depending on the temperature.
Why choose a fleece?
A fleece, a brushed synthetic fabric, traps air and keeps you warm while being very lightweight. It dries quickly, stays warm even when slightly damp, and doesn’t itch. It's the perfect layer between a t-shirt and a coat, both in the city and during outings, and it rolls up into a bag without wrinkling.
Which fleece to choose?
The zip-up fleece jacket, open at the front, can be worn like a light jacket and is easy to ventilate. The pullover fleece, which can have a hood or a high collar, keeps your neck warmer. The long fleece vest covers the hips and can be worn at home or outside.
Thin or thick fleece?
The thin fleece, lightweight and breathable, slides under a coat or a waterproof jacket without adding bulk. The thick fleece, warmer, can be worn alone in mid-season or in dry cold. A long-haired fleece, very soft, is meant for indoors or for calm days.
The fleece under a coat
In winter, a thin fleece under a parka or waterproof jacket creates a warm and lightweight duo: the fleece insulates, and the jacket protects from wind and rain. A zip-up model opens from the inside without needing to be taken off.
How to wear plus-size fleece?
With jeans or leggings and trainers for the weekend, or with hiking trousers for a walk. A long fleece over leggings can be worn as a warm tunic. Plain and without a logo, it also works in the city under an open coat.
How to choose the right size
The fleece should allow for arm movement and fasten over a t-shirt without pulling. For wearing under a coat, choose a more fitted style; for wearing alone over a sweater, leave a bit of ease.
How to care for a fleece?
Wash it inside out at 30 °C, without fabric softener, which flattens the fibers. Avoid the tumble dryer: fleece dries quickly in the air. Washing with soft textiles reduces pilling.
