The Fleece Jacket Spectrum

Frigid temps and fleece have always gone together. And while some stylish circles scoff at the idea, many men still refuse to let go of the undying half-zip. But by getting the fit right and opting for a full-zip placket, a fleece jacket can provide the right amount of ruggedness minus the fratty undertones. That's easily achieved by straying away from basic colors like black and going for something a little brighter. You could also go with an of-the-moment Native American-inspired print or a wintery snow-themed pattern. Shake up your style by using it as a bold layer under a denim jacket or a casual tweed sport coat. Here are a few classic jackets in a range of prices.
