I’ve heard that inspiration can come from anywhere, but I didn’t expect it to stem from standing outside of the Salesforce office in Manhattan at lunch time. Fleece jackets have become my go-to fall jacket trend after seeing one too many frat-bros-turned-finance-execs wearing the classic style over the last two weeks.
I can’t give Midtown’s frattiest office-goers all the credit for my new obsession, though. Fleeces first floated onto my radar thanks to Sandy Liang, who has long endorsed the look. The designer most recently put them on her Fall 2025 runway in early February, alongside the typical bows and girlhood-inspired fare, crafted in technicolor shades like bright orange and cobalt blue—the perfect foil to the satin mini skirts with which they were styled.
